Since the end of the Cold War, Japan's security environment has
changed significantly. While, on the global level, the United
States is still Japan's most important security partner, the nature
of the partnership has changed as a result of shifting demands from
the United States, new international challenges such as the North
Korean nuclear programme and the rapid rise of China. At the same
time, Japan has been confronted with new, 'non-traditional'
security threats such as international terrorism, the spread of
infectious diseases, and global environmental problems. On the
domestic level, demographic change, labour migration, economic
decline, workplace insecurity, and a weakening impact of policy
initiatives challenge the sustainability of the lifestyle of many
Japanese and have led to a heightened sense of insecurity among the
Japanese public. This book focuses on the domestic discourse on
insecurity in Japan and goes beyond military security. The chapters
cover issues such as Japan's growing perception of regional and
global insecurity; the changing role of military forces; the
perceived risk of Chinese foreign investment; societal, cultural
and labour insecurity and how it is affected by demographic changes
and migration; as well as food insecurity and its challenges to
health and public policy. Each chapter asks how the Japanese public
perceives these insecurities; how these perceptions influence the
public discourse, the main stakeholders of this discourse, and how
this affects state-society relations and government policies.
Governing Insecurity in Japan provides new insights into Japanese
and international discourses on security and insecurity, and the
ways in which security is conceptualized in Japan. As such, it will
be of interest to students and scholars working on Japanese
politics, security studies and international relations.
This book presents an overview of Japan's arms production

Although Japan's arms industry is still relatively small,
significant political, economic, and technological developments
indicate its growing importance and pave the way for Japan's
increasing involvement in arms production. In this comprehensive
study, Dr. Drifte examines both the domestic and international
environments that are encouraging Japan
Japan's Security Relations with China since 1989 raises the crucial question of whether Japan's political leadership which is still preoccupied with finding a new political constellation and with overcoming a deep economic crisis is able to handle such a complex policy in the face of an increasingly assertive China and a US alliance partner with strong swings between engaging and containing China's power. This study of the highly topical bilateral relationship will be of great interest to students and researchers in Japanese and Chinese Studies, Politics, International Relations and Security Studies.

This book provides the first comprehensive overview of Japan's arms
control policy, unilateral and multilateral, analyzing its origins
and later development. Japan has played an important part in
shaping non-nuclear policies and the author pays particular
attention to this global aspect of Japanese policy. First published
in 1990, this title is part of the Bloomsbury Academic Collections
series.
This book examines the key elements which together comprise a
viable national security policy. The emergence of the concept of
'comprehensive security' in Japanese national security policy led
to the creation of a Ministerial Council on Comprehensive Security.
This body was expected to provide the impetus for a more
co-ordinated, comprehensive and rational approach to Japan's
security needs than was evident in the past. First published in
1983, this title is part of the Bloomsbury Academic Collections
series.
