Book Description
The author explores the changing nature of Japanese security policy and the impact of those changes on the U.S.-Japan security alliance. He begins his analysis by acquainting the reader with an insider's view of the conflicted Japanese conceptions of security policy and the various ideational and structural restraints on expanding the role of the military. Next, he explores the events of the past decade that have caused huge shifts in security policy and posture and predicts the future vectors of those changes within Japan. Finally, the author overlays the likely Japanese security future on the alliance and concludes that changes in the basic relationship between the United States and Japan must occur if the alliance is to retain its centrality 20 years from now.

Book Description
The U.S.-Japan Security Alliance has linked both nations since the 1950s. During the Cold War, security issues were paramount. Japan recovered, and America contained Soviet Communism. Japan provided basing rights, and America provided the military muscle for security in Northeast Asia. However, the end of the Cold War and economic changes in Japan and America are straining the alliance. Some argue that the Alliance is no longer necessary, but it is still vital to bilateral security and economic interests. This research project will discuss the alliance by examining two tensions; trade tensions, and social tensions. Large trade imbalances have caused the first tension, and the second tension was sparked by the rape of a young Okinawan girl by U.S. servicemen in September 1996. In April 1997, President Clinton and Prime Minister Hashimoto reaffirmed the importance of the treaty, but also announced that Futema Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) would close. To make clear the relevance of the alliance, this paper will analyze various aspects of both countries, including economic activities and security needs. Since a base has been closed, it is likely that more protests will follow. U.S. and Japanese planners should consider options for maintaining the Security Alliance.

Book Description
This is an in-depth analysis of the U.S.-Japan security alliance and its implications for Japan and the Asia-Pacific region. It moves away from the official line that the alliance is a vital aspect of Japan's security policy and introduces issues and arguments that are often overlooked: American security policy has failed to achieve its goals; Japan's interests are not fully served by the alliance; the alliance itself is a source of instability in the region; and the arrangement has placed constraints on Japan's own political development. The author measures current developments in U.S. foreign policy against Japan's role in the region and Japan's own political development. He assesses the consequences of the alliance for the current regional situation in Northeast Asia, looks at future policy options for Japan, and makes the case for a neutralist security policy.

Book Description
How relevant today is an alliance that was forged between a powerful United States and a weak Japan in the context of a cold war struggle with the Soviet Union? In what ways have the changes in the relative power positions of the two countries and the structural changes in the world economy created new challenges to the U.S.-Japan relationship and how are the two countries responding to those challenges? These are some of the important questions addressed by the eight Japanese and American authors of this volume. Their focus ranges from issues of military relations, trade and financial management, and shifting security perspectives to the roles of the mass media in the bilateral relationship. A truly binational effort, the book brings together the thinking of some of the best-trained younger political scientists to focus on the present and future of one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world.

Book Description
This is an edited volume that examines the US-Japan security alliance, the key to US-Japanese relations since the end of US occupation in the 50s. The alliance has long been a source of both co-operation and stress between the two nations, but with rapid changes in Asia, it has grown more problematic. This book brings American and Japanese specialists together to examine the alliance within the wider regional environment and to determine whether and how the bilateral alliance can evolve and remain at the core of the region's security order.
