In Defense of Japan provides the first complete, up-to-date,
English-language account of the history, politics, and policy of
Japan's strategic space development. The dual-use nature of space
technologies, meaning that they cut across both market and military
applications, has had two important consequences for Japan. First,
Japan has developed space technologies for the market in its
civilian space program that have yet to be commercially
competitive. Second, faced with rising geopolitical uncertainties
and in the interest of their own economics, the makers of such
technologies have been critical players in the shift from the
market to the military in Japan's space capabilities and policy.
This book shows how the sum total of market-to-military moves
across space launch vehicles, satellites and spacecraft, and
emerging related technologies, already mark Japan as an advanced
military space power.
