- Hotel Okura, Tokyo
Japan has suffered an enormous jolt in 2011—including to its self-esteem. While the outside world applauded the spirit of sacrifice and resilience in society at large after the March 11th earthquake, tsunami and nuclear accident, the Japanese themselves bemoaned poor leadership, the nuclear crisis, a return to recession and fears of a business exodus. Some of this pessimism is overdone. Japan's economy is likely to rebound quickly and the crisis has revealed pockets of industrial strength even in overlooked parts of the country like Tohoku. The nation still faces huge challenges, however. As well as stabilising the nuclear situation, it must restore the livelihoods of those affected by the disaster. More broadly, Japan has to revitalise its energy supply, rebuild the credibility of its political structure, resolve its fiscal imbalances and rethink its regulatory regime.
The Japan Summit will bring together experts from Japan and abroad to debate areas where Japan could change for the better, and how it should develop the political leadership to do so. It will look at the energy sector, and analyse the merits of nuclear power, the potential for new technologies and the pros and cons of regional electricity monopolies. It will look at the growing economic and political rivalry between Tokyo and other economic regions such as Osaka and Nagoya. It will assess the risks and opportunities for Japanese businesses as they expand in Asia and elsewhere. It will also assess Japan's place in the world, and look at how it can preserve and promote security in a fast-changing East Asia.
