Abstract: | Since its contested inception in 1960, the Treaty of Mutual Cooperation and Security between Japan and the US has served as the centrepiece for Tokyo’s defence policy and Washington’s strategic thinking toward the Asia-Pacific region. Initiated by postwar strategic bargaining between Japan and the US expressed in the San Francisco Peace Treaty of 1951 and enshrined in Japan’s ‘Yoshida doctrine’, the security alliance has paved Tokyo’s path towards economic recovery and political rehabilitation while providing the US with military bases in Japan in the struggle against communist expansion in Cold War Asia. Despite the dramatic changes in the international system marked by the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War, Japan has continued its embrace of a defence strategy based on bilateral cooperation with the US. Japan’s deployment of Maritime Self-Defence Forces (MSDF) to the Indian Ocean in support of the 2001 ‘war on terror’ in Afghanistan and its dispatch of troops to Iraq in 2004 have demonstrated the scope and strength of the redefined post-Cold War US-Japan security alliance. In addition, recent Japan-US cooperation on advanced military technology such as ballistic missile defence (BMD) in response to security threats posed by North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs have provided further evidence for a ‘normalising’ Japan. |
