In addition, it demonstrates how Japan has led efforts to contend with several social and economic challenges facing the entire developed world, including demographic aging, rising health-care costs, and wasteful consumption. Using these accomplishments as evidence, it argues that, in an era of questions surrounding the capability of American leadership, the time has come for Japan to step into a new role as a purveyor of models and values better suited to today's multipolar and diverse world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMartin Fackler\u003c\/b\u003e is former Tokyo Bureau Chief for \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003e (2009-2015), for which he is currently assistant editor in Asia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eYoichi Funabashi\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning Japanese journalist, author, and chair of the Asia Pacific Initiative (formerly Rebuild Japan Initiative Foundation), which he cofounded.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.59 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e December 28, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45686425714790,"sku":"9798765118306","price":83.66,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/MaSI04Y-zf9798765118306.webp?v=1780440633","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/reinventing-japan-new-directions-in-global-leadership-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
