<p>&nbsp;<b>Paper topic</b>:&nbsp;Assuming that China continues to grow economically and militarily, Japan is likely to become increasingly insecure.&nbsp; Your boss has asked you to analyze and compare three policy options that the United States could pursue in response: 1) encourage Japan to build nuclear weapons; 2) increase the U.S. military commitment to Japan; and 3) change U.S. grand strategy, shifting to a policy of neo-isolationism.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Your analysis should briefly describe what each option could entail&mdash;that is, what would Japan or the United States actually do to implement this option? &nbsp; Your paper should evaluate which of these policies would be best for the United States in accordance with international relations theories, but this should be a relatively small component of your paper.&nbsp;<br /><br />This paper (so far written) only covers the first policy option available.</p>
