Post TPP, What's Next for U.S.-Japan Economic Cooperation?

The United States and Japan are on the cusp of completing a historic free trade deal—the Trans-Pacific Partnership—that many would have deemed impossible less than a decade ago.  This highlights the enormous potential of the world’s two largest market economies, the U.S. and Japan, collaborating in strengthening the rules-based international economic order, and prompts the question of what comes next.  On October 13, the CSIS Simon Chair in Political Economy will host a half-day conference to examine a diverse array of U.S.-Japan economic cooperative efforts, including in Internet governance, space, quality infrastructure, and regional and global economic governance.  We will look back at how far the two countries have come since the difficult days of trade friction in the 1980s and 90s, and forward at how Washington and Tokyo might deepen and expand their economic cooperation.
