Ep. 141: Regional Resilience – Japan’s Space Security

The Space Policy Show

Japan is situated in the Asia Pacific Region (APAC), considered “a rough neighborhood” when it comes to national defense and security. Recent developments have meant Japan is moving from a strategic posture to a more operational one, and the partnerships with the U.S. and others in space will be key to regional and global security. To talk about this and more, Sam Wilson, Systems Director CSPS, talks to Director and Lead of Economic Security at Japan’s Institute of Geoeconomics, Dr Kazuto Suzuki. Then Wilson has a follow-on discussion regarding missile warning with Visiting Research Fellow Kota Umeda.
