Japan's so-called 'peace constitution' renounces war as a sovereign
right of the nation, and bans the nation from possessing any war
potential. Yet Japan also maintains a large, world-class military
organization, namely the Self-Defence Forces (SDF). In this book,
Tomoyuki Sasaki explores how the SDF enlisted popular support from
civil society and how civil society responded to the growth of the
SDF. Japan's Postwar Military and Civil Society details the
interactions between the SDF and civil society over four decades,
from the launch of rearmament in 1950. These interactions include
recruitment, civil engineering, disaster relief, anti-SDF
litigation, state financial support for communities with bases, and
a fear-mongering campaign against the Soviet Union. By examining
these wide-range issues, the book demonstrates how the
militarization of society advanced as the SDF consolidated its
ideological and socio-economic ties with civil society and its role
as a defender of popular welfare. While postwar Japan is often
depicted as a peaceful society, this book challenges such a view,
and illuminates the prominent presence of the military in people's
everyday lives.
