Hughes. Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 2022. 90 pages : illustrations ; 23 cm Elements in politics and society in East Asia First published 2022 Includes bibliographical references Introduction: Japan's new military profile -- Japan's shifting strategic and military outlook -- Transforming defence doctrine and capabilities -- US-Japan alliance integration -- International cooperation : still bilateralism-plus -- Conclusion : regional and global implications. "Japan is emerging as a more prominent global and regional military power, defying traditional categorisations of a minimalist contribution to the US-Japan alliance, maintaining anti-militarism, seeking an internationalist role, or carving out more strategic autonomy. Instead, this Element argues that Japan has fundamentally shifted its military posture over the last three decades and traversed into a new categorisation of a more capable military power and integrated US ally. This results from Japan's recognition of its fundamentally changing strategic environment that requires a new grand strategy and military doctrines. The shift is traced across the national security strategy components of Japan Self-Defence Forces' capabilities, US-Japan alliance integration, and international security cooperation. The Element argues that all these components are subordinated inevitably to the objectives of homeland security and re-strengthening the US-Japan alliance, and thus Japan's development as international security partner outside the ambit of the bilateral alliance remains stunted.
