Security Studies Unit (SSU) Trends of Major Countries (US, China, Europe) against Economic Security and Policies of Japan

Overview

What policies should Japan adopt when the United States, Europe, and China are taking concrete measures concerning economic security, including the reinforcement of their industrial bases, the prevention of the outflow of sensitive technologies, and the tightening of export controls? In addition to the analysis of policy trends in major countries that the Security Studies Unit (SSU) has been working on, this research project launches a new team specialized in trends in technology. This team analyzes cutting-edge research and development trends in important and emerging technology fields that have a significant impact on security, as well as the discussions surrounding international standardization and regulatory application in these fields. By combining policy research and technological analysis, we aim to identify technologies and goods that may be subject to international regulations in the future and choke points in the supply chain that are likely to surface.
