Based on extensive Japanese-language materials, this book is the
first to examine the development of Japan's Ground Self-Defense
Force. It addresses: how the GSDF was able to emerge as the
post-war successor of the Imperial Japanese Army despite Japan's
anti-militarist constitution; how the GSDF, despite the public
skepticism and even hostility that greeted its creation, built
domestic and international legitimacy; and how the GSDF has
responded to changes in international and domestic environments.
This path-breaking study of the world's third-largest-economic
power's ground army is timely for two reasons. First, the
resurgence of tensions in Northeast Asia over territorial disputes,
and the emphasis recent Japanese governments have placed on using
the GSDF for defending Japan's outlying islands is driving media
coverage and specialist interest in the GSDF. Second, the March 11,
2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami has focused global
attention on the GSDF as Japan's lead disaster relief organization.
This highly informative and thoroughly researched book provides
insight for policy makers and academics interested in Japanese
foreign and defense policies.
