Japan Diplomatic Relations Research
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I need a concise but well-sourced study that captures how Japan is currently managing its diplomatic relations and strategic cooperation. The spotlight falls on three theatres—Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America—so I expect each section to map recent summits, joint statements, defence or trade agreements, and any emerging friction points.
The core of the assignment is current-events analysis, not a historical review. I will supply a template that lists the questions I want answered; you will track official releases from MOFA, press conferences, think-tank briefings, reputable news outlets, and data dashboards such as the IMF Direction of Trade or SIPRI when they illuminate the present situation.
Deliverables
• A written report (≈3,000 – 4,000 words) organised by region, complete with citations (Chicago or APA) and a hyperlink list of primary sources.
• An executive-style slide deck that distils the findings into key takeaways, opportunities for deeper cooperation, and flash-point risks.
• A one-page timeline graphic highlighting the most significant diplomatic events of the past 18 months.
Acceptance criteria
• All facts are dated 2023-present unless context requires a longer arc.
• Every claim is traceable to a public source; no anonymous speculation.
• Insightful analysis clearly distinguishes facts from interpretation.
If you already monitor Japanese foreign policy or have access to Japanese-language sources, mention it in your proposal so I know you can capture statements that never make it into English-language press.
