Question
“The 21st century Japan is emerging as a new center of power.” Support the statement with any three arguments.
Solution
Japan has emerged as the new centre of power due to the following reasons:
- Close Relationship with Western Economies: Following the end of World War II, Japan and the United States reached an agreement in which the two countries agreed on certain provisions. Japan needed economic support from the United States. Japan likewise joined the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in 1964. As a result, Japan developed strong trading ties with the majority of the world's strongest nations.
- Efficient Utilisation of Human Resources: The Japanese government has emphasized the efficient use of its people by providing them with training in new skills and technologies. It invested significantly in employee training, resulting in technological and other economic innovations.
- Soft Power Diplomacy: Japan is a substantial donor to the UN budget, demonstrating its commitment to world peace and development. This has resulted in an improvement in its global image.
