For reasons of cost, scale, function, and foreign policy, the governments of Japan and the United States are increasingly relying on each other as partners in what were previously considered to be primarily national technological projects such as defense and space. Through a comparative study of U.S.-Japan collaboration in environmental remote-sensing satellites and fighter aircraft, this dissertation research project analyzes how the practices and processes of building technological systems constitute intergovernmental relations that are often subsumed under the label of "alliance." No previous academic study in English or Japanese has addressed this question in an empirical fashion. The project uses an interdisciplinary theoretical approach drawing from the fields of science and technology studies, technology management, and international relations theory. The contention is that an understanding of technological practices in collaborative projects is essential for interpretations, explanations, and prescriptions about the political role of technology. Scientists, engineers, and program managers create transnational technological practices and technologies that bring together knowledge and politics to build a heterogeneous and multifaceted alliance. Between state and transnational community, a U.S.-Japan alliance is built with technology.

由于成本、规模、功能和外交政策等原因，日本和美国政府在以前被认为主要是国家技术项目（如国防和太空）方面越来越依赖对方。通过对美国的比较研究，日本在环境遥感卫星和战斗机方面的合作，本论文的研究项目分析了如何建立技术系统的实践和过程构成政府间关系，往往被归入“联盟”的标签。“以前没有一个英语或日语的学术研究以实证的方式解决这个问题。该项目采用了跨学科的理论方法，从科学和技术研究，技术管理和国际关系理论的领域绘图。争论的焦点是，对合作项目中的技术实践的理解对于解释、说明和规定技术的政治作用至关重要。科学家、工程师和项目经理创造跨国技术实践和技术，将知识和政治结合起来，建立一个异质和多方面的联盟。在国家和跨国社区之间，一个美国-日本联盟是用技术建立起来的。
