As the world shifts away from the global war on terrorism toward renewed great-power rivalry, areas previously considered strategically peripheral offer the United States and its allies both opportunity and challenge. Papua New Guinea (PNG), with its strategic location in the southwest Pacific, is poised to play a role in this new “Great Game.”

Ameliorating The Alliance Dilemma In An Age Of Gray-Zone Conflict—Lessons Learned From The U.S.-Japan Alliance, Michael M. Bosack
Naval War College Review
Fear of abandonment and entrapment can affect alliance management in a modern strategic environment marked by gray-zone conflict. Applying notable takeaways from scholarship to the context of the modern security environment identifies the type of incidents that affect formal alliances. The U.S.-Japan alliance provides a case study of how abandonment and entrapment influence alliance interactions.

Conditional Surrender—Conflict Termination In The Pacific, 1945, Richard J. Shuster, Takuya Shimodaira
Naval War College Review
As early as mid-1943, the strategic political and military leadership on both sides began to see the inevitability of a U.S. victory over Japan. The combatants each sought an end on terms favorable to their respective national interests: the United States pushed relentlessly for unconditional surrender, while Japan sought to force a negotiated settlement. What were the factors and actions that led from military victory to a conditional surrender that set the conditions for a smooth transition to postwar stability in Japan?

The Law Of Military Operations And Self-Defense In The U.S.-Japan Alliance, James Kraska, Yusuke Saito

“They Were Playing Chicken”—The U.S. Asiatic Fleet’S Gray-Zone Deterrence Campaign Against Japan, 1937–40, Hunter Stires
“They Were Playing Chicken”—The U.S. Asiatic Fleet’S Gray-Zone Deterrence Campaign Against Japan, 1937–40, Hunter Stires
Naval War College Review
The current environment is not the first time the United States has faced a destabilizing challenge in the western Pacific. In 1937, Japanese forces in China undertook a campaign to expel U.S., British, and other Western interests from that country as part of imperial Japan’s effort to dominate East Asia. The gray-zone tactics used during the Japanese campaign of 1937–40, and the deterrence actions of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet, can help shed light on the situation in the China Sea today.

Origins Of A “Ragged Edge”—U.S. Ambiguity On The Senkakus’ Sovereignty, Robert C. Watts Iv
Naval War College Review
In 1972, Japan regained administrative control of the Senkaku Islands following years of negotiations with the United States after World War II. However, the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and the Republic of China already had made claims to these islands. The United States chose not to weigh in on the Senkakus’ sovereignty, leading to the tensions that have resurfaced today as the PRC asserts its dominance in the East China Sea and beyond.

Japan And Germany—Why Sea Power Failed, John D. Langford

Today the series takes a slightly different turn as we examine how previously discussed theories and concepts were either applied or ignored in the naval strategies of Germany and Japan, who suffered total defeat in World War II. It is, in a sense, a study of naval failure.

Japan: An Alien Ally, John E. Bex
Naval War College Review
Most Americans fed grateful in some degree to the part that Japan has played since World War II as our loyal ally.

Economic Imperatives Influencing Japan's Military Force Levels, Lewis E. Connell
Naval War College Review
Rumblings from both the East and West relative to a resurgence of Japanese millenarianism are once again vogue. It is difficult for some to believe that the Japanese are truly pacifists and that Japan has accepted the maximum application of her capabilities to a peaceful program of economic growth as the best course of action in to day's world.

The United States—Japan Alliance, James M. Elster
Naval War College Review
Until 1965 the Japanese Government was willing to follow the lead of the United States in foreign policy while focusing its efforts on economic development.

The Portents Of Signals: U.S. - Japan Relations, Thomas H. Harvey Jr
Naval War College Review
A changing world reflects and is reflected in the Northeast Asian region; the bipolarity of the United States and the U.S.S.R. of the fifties and sixties has evolved into a multipolar situation involving the national interests of the United States, U.S.S.R., China and Japan. The systemic stability of this multipolarity is, of course, fundamental to regional order, but it is also key to a larger world order. The relations between the United States and Japan are fundamentally critical to systemic stability.
Reassessing The Security Alliance Between The United States And Japan, Roger D. Wiegley
Reassessing The Security Alliance Between The United States And Japan, Roger D. Wiegley
Naval War College Review
The role of the United States in the security of Japan is an issue that has received relatively little official attention, despite significant developments in Northeast Asia over the past decade. These developments, clearly more than isolated or temporary phenomena, are relevant to the U.S.·Japan security alliance in at least three respects. First, the U.S. commitment to Japan has, in Japan's perception, lost much of its credibility. Second, Improved relations between Japan and the People's Republic of China {PRC) raise the prospect of a shift in the strategic balance of power in Asia. And third, the Soviet Union has significantly …
