Maritime Cooperation in the Pacific: The United Statesand Its Partners

Authors

Masashi Nishihara

Abstract

Today Japan and the United States, two Pacific powers, together generate one-third of the world's gross national product. As large maritime nations, both depend upon the safe use of global sea-lanes for their respective national securities. What docs their maritime cooperation in the Pacific mean for them and for the world? What arc the opportunities for, and constraints of, their naval cooperation?
