The paper examines the developments of Japan's security and defense policies during the Cold War period. Three major arguments are proposed. First: the changes and developments of post-war security policies were mainly the adjustment to, and reflection of , the international and regional security environments affecting Japan's peace and security. Second, the Japan-U.S. security alliance was the core of post-war Japan's security policy, and it also served as a major mechanism of U.S. East Asia security strategy. Third the defense policy and military buildup of Japan during this period was centered around its self-defense policy. These three factors were the major developments of Japan's security and defense policies during the Cold War period. |
