Description
Japan's grand strategy for securing itself has a long, even venerable history--from the Meiji politicians who recognized the connection between military advance and economic success, to the consequences that led to Japan's defeat in World War II, and on to the postwar compact with the United States. The author here explains how these ideological connections explain today's debates. He argues that Japan will eventually achieve a balance between national autonomy and national strength, a position that will allow it reduced dependence on the United States and less vulnerability to China. Over the last decade, a revisionist group of Japanese policy-makers has consolidated power, taking steps to position Japan's military to play a global security role.
