Japanese Security Policy under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
2013/02/27 に公開
The advent of the second Prime Minister Shinzo Abe administration in Japan in late 2012 seems to indicate that Japan's security posture will become increasingly assertive. Abe has already announced planned increases in Japan's defence budget, an upgrading of defence capabilities and a determination to defend the Senkaku Islands from Chinese incursions. Moreover, Abe is known as a hawk and a conviction nationalist who aspires to revise the pacifist clause of Japan's postwar constitution. But since Abe's first brief stint in office in 2006-7, the context for Japan's security policy has changed both at home and abroad.This lecture will examine the context of the US' rebalancing policy framework, ongoing socio-economic and political malaise within Japan and the erosion of self-imposed constraints on Japan as a security actor, and ask how this might shape the direction of security policy under Abe. The existence of dissonance between Japan and the US on issues such as collective self-defence, territorial disputes and basing indicates that Abe's security policy stance will encounter a number of challenges, all of which will impact on how Australia elaborates its own security relationship with Japan.

This presentation is part of the National Security College's public seminar series. The National Security College is a joint initiative of the Commonwealth Government and ANU |
