While the US-Japan alliance has strengthened since the end of the
Cold War, Japan has, almost unnoticed, been building security ties
with other partners, in the process reducing the centrality of the
US in Japan's security. This book explains why this is happening.
Japan pursued security isolationism during the Cold War, but the US
was the exception. Japan hosted US bases and held joint military
exercises even while shunning contacts with other militaries. Japan
also made an exception to its weapons export ban to allow exports
to the US. Yet, since the end of the Cold War, Japan's security has
undergone a quiet transformation, moving away from a singular focus
on the US as its sole security partner. Tokyo has begun
diversifying its security ties. This book traces and explains this
diversification. The country has initiated security dialogues with
Asian neighbors, assumed a leadership role in promoting regional
multilateral security cooperation, and begun building bilateral
security ties with a range of partners, from Australia and India to
the European Union. Japan has even lifted its ban on weapons
exports and co-development with non-US partners. This edited volume
explores this trend of decreasing US centrality alongside the
continued, and perhaps even growing, security (inter) dependence
with the US. New Directions in Japan's Security is an essential
resource for scholars focused on Japan's national security. It will
also interest on a wider basis those wishing to understand why
Japan is developing non-American directions in its security
strategy.
