On April 26, 2016, Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull announced DCNS as the future partner for the SEA 1000 Future Submarine Program. The defeat of Japan demonstrates the non-competitive nature of postwar Japan's defense industry resulted from the domination of economic bureaucrats and arms exports ban. Although the Second Abe Cabinet starting from 2012 has attempted to reform the defense industry, including passed the new Three Principles on Transfer of Defense Equipment and Technology, Basic Strategy on Defense Production and Technological Foundation, and the establishment of Acquisition Technology and Logistics Agency. These reforms, however, are still too weak to provide sufficient business incentives to change corporate behaviors. Political uncertainty might produce higher business risks than interests from carrying out government policy for Japanese enterprises. In sum, Japanese makers' hesitation is the main factor for Japan's defeat in the Australia submarine case. |
