 * JAPAN GENERIC**


 * Congratulations!**


 * JAPAN COUNTER PLAN**

Japan should do the plan instead of the United States. The basic solvency argument is that Japan is more effective because they have a long history of providing effective humanitarian aid. Japan has empirically allocated a substantial amount of money to aid and has demonstrated a commitment to assisting African countries.


 * JAPAN SOFT POWER**

Japan’s foreign assistance is an integral part of Japan’s major foreign policy. Japan has used foreign assistance as a way to define themselves a member of the global community. Actions by the United States undermine Japan’s role as the countries begin to compete leadership in the area. Japan’s loss of soft power would be devastating, as it would crush the US-Japan security alliance and devastate the economy.


 * JAPAN ABE DISAD TO THE PERM**

Abe will lose the election now because he is a hawk and ultra aggressive. He has lost control of his base and won’t be able to garner enough support to get through the election. US cooperation would allow him to garner support because it signals that Abe’s policies are in the best interest of the international community. Basically it makes him look like less of a hawk (which is why he is losing the election).
