In this book the authors demonstrate how the economics of
insurance, risk reduction, and damage control or limitation can be
combined with concepts of collective choice and collective behavior
to improve analysis of the escalating threats faced by alliances
throughout the world. The book develops a theory of risk management
as integrating likelihood of loss, magnitude of loss, and isolation
from loss into a consolidated model. It extends existing concepts
of individual risk management by a single person to decision theory
for an entire country, managed by a government bureaucracy and
lodged in a universe of overlapping alliances. The authors uncover
a tendency, inherent in any bureaucracy for policy coordination in
the realm of risk control to fail because of misunderstanding,
disinterest, or perverse incentives. Understanding such incentives
is essential to any sort of progress in risk management of
proliferating national and global threats. Self-protection aims to
reduce the chances of loss. This reduction may require the use, or
threat or promise of use, of defensive military weapons or,
depending on context, the use of offensive military weapons.
Japan's constitution limits Japan to use of defensive measures
only, even if Japan and the USA have formed a military alliance.
This places Japan at an "economic corner solution" of providing
only self-insurance. However, the Abe government intends to change
the interpretation of the constitution so that Japan can provide a
full range of self-protection as well as self-insurance. With the
prospect of such constitutional change, this book becomes of
special relevance to Japan's national security.
