Japan's Legislation for Peace and Security: its Global, Regional and National Significance
Abstract
The legislation on peace and security which was adopted in September 2015 substantially changes the format of the overseas activity of the self-defense forces. It also affects the principles which have shaped the development of the postwar Japan. The globalization of the US-Japan alliance and enhanced participation in the collective security measures increase Japan’s global and regional influence but at the same time pose new risks of involvement in overseas conflicts.
