Japan at the Brink: Choices for the Next Generation

The March 11th Great East Japan Earthquake has created an unprecedented crisis in Japan.  It has brought to light not only the fragility of Japan’s infrastructure and the shortcomings of its energy policy, but also the lack of national vision and the fossilization of existing industries, problems that existed even before the earthquake.  This is not the time for patchwork solutions aimed at simple survival under the existing system.  With a depth and breadth of wisdom greater than ever before, we must make choices guided by a long-term national vision that will help us create a “New Japan” for the next generation.

At AIF2011, we will explore the AIF2010 theme, “Creation (ABC Strategies)” in light of Japan’s redesign. We will present ideas and action plans to establish a state-of-the-art system for regional societies, to secure safe and stable energy supplies, to find new approaches in securing financial resources, to rebuild the Japan brand and so forth, in partnership with other Asian countries.
