dc.description.abstractJapan plays a critical yet often overlooked role in the geopolitical dynamics of Southeast Asia – an important region at the centre of the Indo-Pacific where US-China rivalry has intensified over the past decade. Having overcome antagonisms related to its pre-1945 wartime and colonial history in Southeast Asia, Japan has built comprehensive and deep relations with the region’s countries. While Tokyo has long treated Southeast Asia as a foreign policy priority, it has since around 2012 doubled down on its engagement efforts due to concern about China’s expanding influence in the region. This policy brief argues that Japan’s approach during this time has been characterised by four interconnected tenets, which point to the country’s central role in regional dynamics.en
