Abstract:

The Cold War is now over. The United States and its allies have won. The world will be a much different place to live ideologically, politically, militarily, and economically. Ideological methods will no longer be the standard with which global politics is conducted and alliances maintained. The most important alliance in the Pacific region is the one between the United States and Japan. As far back as 1791 the United States understood that the Pacific region would be an important area for commerce and trade. Starting in 1853 the ties between Japan and the U.S. began in earnest. From Commodore Perry through the end of the Cold War the relationship has been filled with miscommunication, missed opportunities, and incorrect perceptions. In the years ahead, a new foundation trust and respect for U.S.-Japan relations must be laid. This paper will deal with the relationship from a historical perspective and as that relationship exists today. The military, political and economic problems of the alliance will be studied and potential solutions recommended. Solutions to these problems must be initiated to ensure that this most important alliance is enhanced.
