Study On Japan's Security Strategy Since The Second Abe's Cabinet

Since Abe's second administration,Japan's security strategy has entered a new strategic transformation period.Japan's pursuit of "normal nationalization",with which strategic goals and based on which strategic concepts,to formulate and adjust security strategies,has become a regional and global focus issue;Abe's high-profile declaration of "Japan's return" is a return to war The Yoshida line of "emphasizing economics and neglecting military affairs" in the early post-war period is still the old way of returning to "militarists" during World War II,and has once again become a fixed topic for East Asian countries concerned about Japan's security;The world has once again become the logical starting point for researching and evaluating Japan's security strategy.U.S.international political scholar Adrew Oros believes that Japan is in the historical "safety renaissance" in the field of security.The change in Japanese security strategy since Abe's second administration is just like the European Renaissance,based on long-term accumulation.Continuous self-improvement.Power transition theory is developed on the basis of power politics and is one of the important theories in realist international relations theory.The theory believes that in the international system,the power of the rising power will continue to increase,and the strength of the former hegemony will decline relatively.When the strength of the rising power and the power of the original hegemony appear to be the same,it is most likely to trigger war.The rise and fall of power in this process has brought about changes in security relations,which directly led to the adjustment of the national security strategy.With the development of theory,the theory of power transfer can not only explain specific phenomena at the international system level,but also apply to regional level and domestic politics.Among them,the change in the strength of the international system,the rise of emerging countries at the regional level,and the replacement of domestic political power all affect the security strategy of a country.The adjustment of Japan's security strategy after Abe's second administration is also based on the phenomenon of power transfer at home and abroad.The governing coalition led by Prime Minister Abe occupies most of the seats in Congress.His personal governing philosophy and policy implementation have been effectively implemented.The social conservative atmosphere created by the Abe government has provided a favorable domestic environment for the formation of its security strategy;In East Asia,China 's transcendence of comprehensive strength and the real threat of North Korea 's nuclear missile development have provided regional motivations for changes in its security strategy;the relative decline in U.S.national strength and the change in international power brought about by the rise of non-Western countries have become Elements of the Abe government's adjustment of the security system's international system.Since Abe's second administration,Japan's security strategy was elevated to a national strategic level.At the domestic level,the Abe government's multiple paths have promoted the revision of the peace constitution in order to seek to get rid of the post-war system and strengthen its own defense force.At the regional level,Japan has targeted security toward China and North Korea and established a national security strategy.And adjust the Japan-US alliance to increase military deterrence in order to respond to external threats at this stage,with a view to becoming the main security role in East Asia;at the international level,the Abe government proposes a "active pacifism" security concept and "overlooking globe diplomacy" The security layout of the United States has taken the initiative to share responsibility for the United States,reduce its dependence on the United States,thereby slowing the relative decline of the United States,and carry out broader security cooperation to actively participate in the international security process.The Abe administration's all-round adjustment of Japan's security strategy to "get rid of the post-war system" and become a normal country are not only related to the development of the Japanese country,but also to the regional and international order established after the war.The Abe government has improved the "patriotism" of Japanese citizens by amending the constitution and amending the new security legal system,realizing the return to nationalism and further accelerating the overall conservativeness in Japan.At the regional level,Japan has threatened China's relations with neighboring countries by rendering China's threats.A series of actions in the East China Sea and the South China Sea squeezed China's strategic development space,affected China's long-distance sea strategy,and brought a negative impact on China's peaceful rise.The Abe administration's adjustment of security strategy did not stabilize the situation on the Korean peninsula,but complicated the situation in the region.Its actions exacerbated the risk of confrontation caused by North Korea 's countermeasures,and at the same time exacerbated the United States 'fear of being implicated by Japan and undermined the original security cooperation mechanism.At the level of the international system,Japan's adjustment of the alliance system slowed down the relative decline of the United States,but its series of actions that alienated the alliance system also made the alliance's friction unavoidable.In the process of strengthening security cooperation with non-western countries,Japan has accelerated the balance of international armaments and has played a role of "leader" in the international security process.
