Research Programs

Providing timely analysis of the key issues in U.S.-Japan relations

Sasakawa USA’s Research Program identifies issues of importance to the United States and Japan that deserve greater attention, coordination, and cooperation. We focus research on five main areas: Security and Foreign Affairs; Cybersecurity; Economics, Trade, and Business; Energy and Technology; and Common Challenges.

Research projects are undertaken by staff experts and visiting fellows. Sasakawa USA also partners with other organizations and individual experts in both Japan and the United States.
