Economic Security
Our society, as an international community, is at a historical turning point, as the modern era of globalization that began with the end of the Cold War comes to a close. Economic security has become an important theme as geopolitical risks increase. The security environment surrounding Japan is also becoming particularly severe. In this international context, The Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry (RIETI) is expected to have a deep understanding of the impacts of these geopolitical risks and economic security considerations on the economy and industry through various types of economic analysis, including data-based empirical analysis, and to make recommendations for economic, trade, and industrial policies from its academic insights. For this reason, we have compiled and “visualized” the research conducted at RIETI which is relevant to these topics as a special feature.
