As the line between economy and security becomes ambiguous, how to respond to economic coercion is one of the urgent issues. This seminar provides an overview of the trends in discussions in the field of economic security in Japan and the U.S., particularly regarding responses to economic coercion. Based on the analysis of similarities and differences between the debates in both countries, future prospects in this field will be discussed.
