Abstract
The editors pull together the main analytical threads of the volume in this concluding chapter. They review the key security and economic features of the India–Japan strategic partnership, placing it within the triangular relationship with the United States. They address its future prospects and emphasize that the volume provides both a clearer sense of the trajectory of the relationship and a deeper understanding of the post-alliance strategic landscape.

Shubhajit Roy, “India–China Standoff at Doklam: Japan Throws Weight Behind India and Bhutan, Says No Side Should Try to Change Status Quo by Force,” Indian Express, August 19, 2017, http://indianexpress.com/article/india/standoff-over-doklam-tokyo-throws-weight-behind-delhi-4801881. The Indian media’s interpretation of this as being strongly pro-India was clearly wishful thinking, as is evident from this and similar reports.
