This open access book assesses the profound impact of Japan's
aspirations to become a great power on Japanese security, democracy
and foreign relations. Rather than viewing the process of
normalization and rejuvenation as two decades of remilitarization
in face of rapidly changing strategic environment and domestic
political circumstances, this volume contextualizes Japan's
contemporary international relations against the longer grain of
Japanese historical interactions. It demonstrates that policies and
statecraft in the Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's era are a
continuation of a long, unbroken and arduous effort by successive
generations of leaders to preserve Japanese autonomy, enhance
security and advance Japanese national interests. Arguing against
the notion that Japan cannot work with China as long as the
US-Japan alliance is in place, the book suggests that Tokyo could
forge constructive relations with Beijing by engaging China in
joint projects in and outside of the Asia-Pacific in issue areas
such as infrastructure development or in the provision of
international public goods. It also submits that an improvement in
Japan-China relations would enhance rather than detract Japan-US
relations and that Tokyo will find that her new found autonomy in
the US-Japan alliance would not only accord her more political
respect and strategic latitude, but also allow her to ameliorate
the excesses of American foreign policy adventurism, paving for her
to become a truly normal great power.
