The book explores the complex dynamics between Japan and the United States as they navigate their roles as trading nations. Japan is pursuing significant internal reforms to enhance productivity and strengthen its position in trade negotiations. Conversely, the U.S. faces challenges with a new administration that has withdrawn from the Trans-Pacific Partnership, reflecting a weakening domestic consensus on international trade. This shift raises critical questions about the future of free trade and the global economic landscape.

Japan's Quiet Leadership provides a sweeping look at Japan's domestic economic and political evolution, its economic statecraft, and the array of geopolitical challenges that have triggered a gradual but substantial shift in the country's security profile.
