Alliance Security Dilemmas in the Iraq War - German and Japanese Responses (Hardcover)

The book explains why Germany opposed the US decision to attack
Iraq in 2003, whereas Japan supported it, despite the two
countries' many similarities. Employing the concept of alliance
security dilemma--constituted by the twin fears of abandonment and
entrapment--the author argues that the two countries pursued
opposite policies toward the Iraq War because the level of
Germany's alliance security dilemma in its relationships with the
US was higher than Japan's. The two countries' alliance security
dilemma with the US, however, is not derived from the mere presence
or absence of external threats. Instead, it is a product of (1) the
regional security environments plus U.S. security commitment to the
two countries, (2) the type of alliance institutions to which each
country belongs, and (3) the characteristics of their military
institutions. The author's conclusions are based on analysis of
primary and secondary materials as well as interviews conducted
with key political actors in both countries.
