Former Japanese National Security Advisor Shigeru Kitamura on how the U.S.-Japan alliance has transformed from a bilateral defense arrangement into a comprehensive global strategic partnership.

Japan's National Security Strategy, counterstrike capabilities, rising defense spending, and active cyber defense mark a historic shift. But the deepest change, Kitamura argues, is psychological — Japan is finally shedding the postwar habit of separating economy from security. In this age, economic security is national security.

The work is unfinished. He calls for faster intelligence sharing, a stronger cyber posture, integrated defense industrial bases, and planning for simultaneous contingencies across military and non-military domains.
