Japans Military Renaissance [Paperback]

The purpose of this book is to examine the security-related aspects behind Japan's emerging internationalism. Japan has for some time been projecting a higher international profile, which the Diet's approval to allow Japanese armed forces to operate abroad is but one manifestation. The book's scope is not limited to military issues; it embraces a spectrum of security-related topics such as constitutional amendment, international re-alignment and cooperation, defence industrialisation, Japan-US relations and technology leakage, and Japan's role in the new international order.Preface - Notes on the Contributors - Japan's Security into the 1990s; R.Matthews - Japan's Postwar Constitution and its Implications for Defence Policy: A Fresh Interpretation; A.Watanabe - Civilian Control of the Military in Postwar Japan; I.Gow - Japan's Changing Defence Policy; T.Sakanaka - Japan and Regional Security; J.Maswood - Adjusting to the New International Order; G.Segal - Military Expenditure and Economic Growth: The Case of Japan; K.Matsuyama, M.Kojina & Y.Fukuda - Japanese Defence Industrialisation; A.D.Edgar & D.G.Haglund - International Arms Collaboration: Euro-Japanese Collaboration in Aerospace; K.Hartley & S.Martin - Technology Leakage and US-Japan Security Relations; M.W.Chinworth - Japan's Policy on Arms Exports; T.Taylor - Index
