Good to write for Japan's Voices about the #
TakaichiDoctrine# for JIIA Center for Global Outreach (CGO).
1. #
Takaichi# must develop her own distinct brand. She cannot simply be an echo of #
Abe#; she must emerge as a leader who instills confidence not only in the Japanese public but also among international partners who share Japan’s national interests.
2. This requires a delicate balance of strength and strategic communication, an area where her administration currently exhibits notable shortcomings. In a geopolitical environment shaped by authoritarian states that only respect power and strength, Takaichi must continue to demonstrate her resilience and an absolute unwillingness to be coerced.
