Miller Publishes Blog on Shinzo Abe’s Impact on Japan-India Relations
Manjari Chatterjee Miller, currently a Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and on leave from Boston University’s Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies where she is an Associate Professor of International Relations, published a CFR blog outlining the late Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s role in transforming Japan-India relations.
In her blog, titled “India’s Special Relationship with Abe Shinzo,” Miller breaks down contemporary Janan-India relations, from a “politely distant” Cold War relationship to the Japanese economic sanctions against a newly nuclear India in 1998 and ultimately Abe’s rekindling of a deeper Japan-India relationship in 2006. As Miller notes, it was Abe’s “vision of the Indo-Pacific as a single strategic space – in which both countries had a stake – [that] would shape Japan’s bilateral relationship with India for years to come and draw India into a larger cooperative partnership, the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad), [and] would bind it more closely to not just Japan but also the United States and Australia.”
The full blog can be read on CFR’s website.
