U.S.-Japan Yearbook
The Reischauer Center annually coordinates and supports the publication of a yearbook focusing on U.S.-Japan relations. The focus of the book is on the past year’s events in Japan that directly and/or indirectly have an effect on the United States and other countries around the world. The book is circulated, in both English and Japanese, to the United States Congress, the Japanese Parliament, think tanks, selected universities, and various specialists in U.S.-Japan relations, as it has been for nearly two decades. This is the longest continuously published survey of US-Japan relations available anywhere in the world.
Both authors and editors are graduate students in the Japan Studies program at SAIS, working in cooperation with knowledgable bilingual faculty. Throughout the course of their second year, the students research and interview experts in the field of U.S.-Japan relations, after completing a rigorous academic introduction to their subject. The papers eventually become after a rigorous review process, the individual chapters of the yearbook. Besides receiving academic credit for their contribution to the publication, the goal of the Japan Studies’ students is to help bring an understanding to contemporary U.S.-Japan relations and provide a framework for the maintenance of a constructive U.S.-Japan relationship.
