Over 40, 000 US troops are based in Japan, as is the only U.S. aircraft carrier based outside the United States, the USS George Washington. Japan possesses one of the world's largest economies and strongest military forces, and as a result, its national security policies and institutions are highly significant-not just to America, but to the rest of the global community as well. This book provides an overview of Japan's transformation into one of the world's most capable military powers over the past 150 years. Particular attention is paid to developments in the past decade, such as the 2009 change in the controlling political party and Japan's responses to new global security threats. 410 0$aGlobal security watch series. 606 $aNational security$zJapan 607 $aJapan$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aJapan$xForeign relations 607 $aJapan$xMilitary policy 607 $aJapan$xStrategic aspects 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zJapan 615 0$aNational security 676 $a355/.033052 700 $aOros$b Andrew$01605083 701 $aTatsumi$b Yuki$01811484 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910964093803321 996 $aGlobal security watch--Japan$94363369 997 $aUNINA
