"New Possibilities for the Japan-U.S. Alliance" is an essay by Terumasa Nakanishi that reconsidered the alliance in the late Cold War international environment. Rather than treating the security framework as fixed, it asks how the alliance should be understood amid a changing world order.

At a moment when the Cold War was beginning to end, the essay asks what role the Japan-U.S. alliance should play next.
