The Australia–Japan Research Centre and the ANU Japan Institute once again co-hosted the annual Japan Update.
The theme of the Update this year was Reinventing Japan and was designed to provide a comprehensive overview of Japan’s current economic, social and political landscape, and to give an ‘update’ on Japan’s recent developments and future directions.
This year we focusd on three key areas: Will Womenomics succeed?, new economic challenges, and Japan’s place in the world.
