This Stanford Next Asia Policy Lab research track assesses and contrasts shared and varying perceptions in U.S. relations with regional actors in Asia.
This research theme, part of the Stanford Next Asia Policy Lab (SNAPL), tracks historical and present tensions between the U.S. and Asian powers such as Japan and China, exploring scapegoating and rival-making and their impact on bilateral relations. It will provide a descriptive analysis of public perception and reality in the American rival-making of Asian nations, past and present.
