Incisive insights into the distinctive nature of Japanese foreign
intelligence and grand strategy, its underlying norms, and how they
have changed over time Japanese foreign intelligence is an outlier
in many ways. Unlike many states, Japan does not possess a
centralized foreign intelligence agency that dispatches agents
abroad to engage in espionage. Japan is also notable for civilian
control over key capabilities in human and signals intelligence.
Japanese Foreign Intelligence and Grand Strategy probes the unique
makeup of Japan's foreign intelligence institutions, practices, and
capabilities across the economic, political, and military domains
and shows how they have changed over time. Brad Williams begins by
exploring how Japan’s experiences of the Second World War and its
new role as a major US ally influenced its adoption of
bilateralism, developmentalism, technonationalism, and
antimilitarism as key norms. As a result, Japanese
intelligence-gathering resources centered primarily around
improving its position in the global economy throughout the Cold
War. Williams then brings his analysis up to the Abe Era, examining
how shifts in the international, regional, and domestic policy
environments in the twenty-first century have caused a gradual
reassessment of national security strategy under former prime
minister Shinzo Abe. As Japan reevaluates its old norms in light of
regional security challenges, the book concludes by detailing how
the country is beginning to rethink the size, shape, and purpose of
its intelligence community. Anyone interested in Japanese
intelligence, security, or international relations will welcome
this important contribution to our understanding of the country's
intelligence capabilities and strategy.
