Pew Research Center Global Attitudes & Trends 2015 U.S.-Japan Relations Survey Data Info

This 2015 survey by the Pew Research Center’s Global Attitudes & Trends project focused on American and Japanese perspectives on bilateral relations, economic ties, and security cooperation. Conducted amid China’s growing regional influence and ongoing discussions about trade and defense partnerships (e.g., the Trans-Pacific Partnership), the study captures public confidence in the U.S.-Japan alliance, perceptions of shared threats, and attitudes toward economic collaboration. It highlights both alignment and divergences in how citizens of both nations view their countries’ roles in the Asia-Pacific region.
