This is a link to a publication out of the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), written by Dr. Michael Green. As well as being a Georgetown Professor and the Japan Chair at CSIS, Dr. Green spent 3 years on President George W. Bush's National Security Council (NSC) as the president's special adviser on Japan & Korea.

During my time at Georgetown, I took two of Prof. Green's classes, as well as worked for him at CSIS for 8 weeks this summer doing an internship.
