Japan has increasingly emphasized democracy assistance since the
mid-2000s, such that it now constitutes a major part of Japan's
foreign policy. This approach is an ostensible departure from the
country's traditional foreign policy stance, which tries to avoid
bringing values to the forefront of foreign policies. This book
intends to answer the questions of why Japan has started
emphasizing democracy assistance and why it has relegated itself to
a minor role in democracy assistance nevertheless. It argues that
Japan's emphasis on democracy assistance reveals its intention to
increase its political influence with regards to China based on
democratic values, and its usage of the term "democracy assistance"
is a performative speech act to orchestrate a comprehensive
approach for international democracy support. Shedding light on the
novel aspect of Japanese policy, this book contributes to the
understanding of Japanese foreign policy and democracy promotion.
Providing the analysis that state's speech act could cause to
create foreign policies that counter what is predicted by
structural realism, this analysis makes contributions to
neoclassical realism which explains states' foreign policy choices
within the constraints of international structure.
