Since the early 1990s, there has been a clear evolution in the
military dimension of Japanese diplomacy. From Gulf War I in 1991
to the present day, an incremental but unmistakable acceptance of,
and resort to, military dispatches has taken place, and yet
crucially, Japan has not morphed into a traditional military power.
Exploring Japan's involvement in both Afghanistan and Iraq, this
book examines the evolution and nature of the new civil-military
dimension in Japanese foreign policy. It shows how foreign aid,
Japan's traditional non-military diplomatic tool, was merged with
the operations of the Japanese Self-Defense Force in Iraq and the
activities of NATO-ISAF forces in Afghanistan, and emphasises the
centrality of civilian power to Japanese foreign policy and
diplomacy. However, Dennis Yasutomo argues that while a new
civil-military security culture is replacing the old merchant state
culture of pacifism and anti-militarism, Japan does not yet qualify
as a military "normal nation". Further, the book's exploration of
the increased utilization of military power within the context of
civilian objectives and non-military diplomatic instruments, sheds
light on the current build-up of Japanese military power in East
and Southeast Asia amid territorial disputes and nuclear threats,
and highlights the impact that Japan's new civil-military diplomacy
may have on wider international affairs in the 21st Century.
Drawing on interviews with key actors in Tokyo, as well as with
practitioners who have served on the ground in Iraq and
Afghanistan, this book will have broad appeal to students and
scholars working on Japanese politics and diplomacy, military and
security studies and international relations.
