With the end of the Cold War, new sources of potential threats have arisen at a time when Japan's national self-confidence has been shaken by nearly a decade of economic stagnation, a highly fluid political situation, and an inadequate institutional structure for crisis management and strategy formulation. Osius examines how Japan is trying to redefine its identity from a nation whose constitution renounces war as a sovereign right to a normal country involved in United Nations peacekeeping operations and regional military relationships. In his initial chapters, Osius focuses on the purpose of the security alliance and argues that U.S.-Japanese interests coincide enough not only to sustain the alliance, but also to warrant strengthening and promoting it. He then examines the challenges and opportunities for an enhanced alliance over the next decade. Together, he maintains, the United States and Japan can address broadly defined security concerns, such as energy supply, weapons of mass destruction proliferation, transborder crime, piracy, and illegal narcotics, as well as environmental issues, infectious disease, economic development, and humanitarian and disaster relief. However, if it is to thrive, the U.S.-Japan alliance must remain dynamic rather than static and must be nurtured, sustained, and enhanced by both parties. An important analysis for policy makers, scholars, and students of U.S.-Japanese political and military relations and Asian Studies in general. 410 0$aWashington papers ;$v181. 607 $aJapan$xMilitary relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary relations$zJapan 607 $aJapan$xMilitary policy 607 $aUnited States$xMilitary policy 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zJapan 607 $aJapan$xForeign relations$zUnited States 607 $aJapan$xHistory$yHeisei period, 1989- 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$y1993- 676 $a355/.031/09730952 700 $aOsius$b Ted$01617509 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973512103321 996 $aThe U.S.-Japan security alliance$94339937 997 $aUNINA
