While Japanese pacifism is usually seen as a national policy or an
ideology rooted in the provision of Article 9 of the Japanese
Constitution, it cannot be adequately understood without grasping
Japanese social discourses on peace, war and justice. The
perspective of political sociology provides a more in-depth
understanding of Japanese pacifism and helps us to find the reasons
for the critical changes that have occurred in Japan's policies
since the mid-2000s. These changes include sending its self-defense
force to Iraq and Afghanistan outside UN missions and the enactment
of new security legislation in 2015. Nishikawa explores Japanese
pacifism in a changing domestic and regional context, from the
perspective of political sociology. Getting to grips with the
social bases of politics, she examines whether Japan is likely to
remain a pacifist country or retain its pacifist image in changing
regional and global context. This book comprehensively examines
Japanese pacifism by fully examining the social forces in action.
Employing a multidisciplinary approach, the book contributes to
theoretical debates on political sociology as well as Japanese and
Asian studies. Japan is in an important transitional period and
Japanese pacifism is being brought into question in changing
national and international contexts.
