G1 Global 2025 - Pax Japonica in a Chaotic World: Can Japan Become a Role Model and Stabilizer?

Today, we address a world defined by geopolitical friction and economic uncertainty. As a response to recent developments in AI and shifting global power dynamics, Japan's model of political and economic stability is being re-examined. How did we get to this point? How have Trump’s tariffs, US-China decoupling, and recent developments in the Middle East and Ukraine/Russia contributed to where we are now? What about the lingering effects of the recent Japanese elections and its effect on business? This plenary session asks: Can Japan leverage this moment to become a global stabilizer and role model, potentially laying the foundation for a "Pax Japonica?" What is the next step? Our panelists contemplate these issues and frame the discourse for the day ahead.G1 Global Conference 2025 Opening Plenary Session held at Graduate School of Management, GLOBIS University in Tokyo, October 13, 2025.» https://g1summit.com/g1global/[Plenary Session] Pax Japonica in a Chaotic World: Can Japan Become a Role Model and Stabilizer?Panelists:» Bill Emmott (Senior Adviser, Geopolitics, Montrose Associates)» Hiromichi Mizuno (Founder and CEO, Good Steward Partners, LLC; Special Advisor, TNFD; Mission Committee Member, Danone S.A.; Independent Board Member, LiveWire Group Inc.)» Ulrike Schaede (Professor of Japanese Business; Director, Japan Forum for Innovation and Technology, University of California San Diego)Moderator:» Jesper Koll (Expert Director, Monex Group)---Prefer to watch the video presentation?
