He is currently a professor at Keio University specializing in international political economy and Japanese diplomacy.

In this episode of the STATE OF ASIA podcast, he talks about his worries for security in Asia; who he thinks is the biggest threat to the future of Japan, and why hope remains such an important commodity if we want to turn things around.
