Prime Minister Abe has finished amending The Guidelines for U.S-Japan Defense Cooperation, as well as completed the legislation of defense laws. The ''de-postwar'' Japan, based on the framework of ''U.S.-Japan alliance,'' will play greater security roles in international politics; however, this does not mean Japan will de-construct the ''1972 system,'' a foundation in which Japan, China, and Taiwan all construct and restrain their interaction rules and patterns. Therefore, the ups and downs of the Sino-Japanese relations and Cross-Strait relations still restrict the development of Taiwan-Japan relations. This paper finds that when the Sino-Japanese relations mire in tension and the Cross-Strait relations remain stable, Taiwan and Japan are more likely to achieve substantial development. This article first provides a literature review on Taiwan-Japan relations and introduces analytical framework. Then it investigates how Japan pursue its new role through revising its security strategy. Emphasizing the restrictions in Taiwan-Japan-China interaction pattern, the third part analyzes how the changes in Sino-Japanese and Cross-Strait relations in Abe administration facilitate or refrain the development of Taiwan-Japan relations. The last part discusses the possibility of de-constructing the ''1972 system.'' |
