The Japan-United States Journalists Exchange is a 12-day dialogue, travel and exchange program for journalists from Japan and the United States. The 2011 Japan-United States Journalists Exchange (JUSJE) took place March 6th and 18th. The theme of the 2011 Japan-United States Journalists Exchange was “Expanding the U.S.-Japan Alliance”.

The 2011 exchange took a look at the U.S.-Japan military alliance, a linchpin of regional security, as well as how this important bilateral relationship can expand to greater benefit both countries; and to help meet new challenges as China’s power and influence continue to grow. However, the natural disasters in Japan made the participants also focus on these events.

Here is a compilation of articles that were authored by participants of the 2011 JUSJE program during the program’s duration.
