Japan's Comprehensive Grand Security Strategy in East Asia

Abstract

Strategic relations in East Asia continue to present a feature of the balance of power, where two divided areas--the Korean peninsula and the Taiwan Strait--remain the focus of international politics as vestiges of the Cold War. Ideas and concepts for regional security mechanisms must be formed to effectively forestall these causes of conflict and to ease tensions. The time has come to synthesize the various attempts made so far in this direction and to take a further step ahead. Japan achieved its post-Would War II recovery and prosperity as a beneficiary the Japan-U S. alliance and international system. As a major economic power, Japan has an obligation to assist in the creative development of international order and must play a fitting and constructive role. The purpose of this paper is to focus on the security environment trends and Japan's comprehensive grand security strategy (Japan-U.S. security arrangements, multilateral regional security framework and the basic concept of defense policy) in East Asia.
