The U.S. and Japan are now at odds over Russia, since the U.S. has pressured Japan to join the rest of the G-7 in providing economic assistance to Russia. This situation is likely to worsen if Yeltsin falls. If he survives, Gelman recommends that the U.S. encourage Japan to renew (and improve) the offer of economic aid in exchange for the Northern Territories that had been made to Gorbachev in 1991. He notes that both Japan and the U.S. have strong incentives for maintaining the U.S.-Japan alliance, including offsetting economic tensions, reassuring Japan's Asian neighbors, and deterring nuclear proliferation in Japan and Korea.  aAlso available on the internet via WWW in PDF format.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aJapanxMilitary relationszUnited States. 0aRussia (Federation)xMilitary relationszUnited States. 0aUnited StatesxMilitary relationszJapan. 0aUnited StatesxMilitary relationszRussia (Federation)2 aProject Air Force (U.S.).bNational Security Strategies Program.2 aRand Corporation.1 aUnited States.bAir Force.41yOnline Accessu http://www.rand.org/pubs/monograph_reports/2006/MR168.pdf
