Description: This book examines Japan's changing pacifism and security identity in an application of analytical eclecticism. Four theoretical perspectives of Japan's security identity (pacifist state, UN peacekeeper, normal state, US ally) are examined as case studies. This book attempts to reveal Japan's 'core security identity' as a 'global pacifist state'.
