The author maps three defense engagement activities: military exercises, capacity building, and defense equipment transfer and technology cooperation – and subsequently evaluates these against the three national security objectives: deterrence, cooperative security, and the Free and Open Indo-Pacific vision. The book asks two important research questions: why is Japan active in defense engagement with the armed forces of its strategic partners? And, what purposes do Japan’s self-defense forces pursue? Through the ten carefully selected cases of strategic partners: Australia, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, ASEAN, the UK, France, NATO, and the EU, the book follows a structured, cross-case comparison based on the analytical framework developed for the research. It also discusses the evolution of Japan’s postwar defense policy, providing a solid background for the case studies. The book overall argues that, while the Japan-US alliance is still the most indispensable, Japan’s strategic partnerships are a valuable instrument of deterrence that contributes to Japan’s national security objectives. In order to more effectively pursue these objectives and thus secure the national interest, Japan must pursue a purpose-driven defense engagement. 0aPolitical sociology.957999 0aSecurity, International.958210 0aRegionalism.970424 0aAsiaxPolitics and government.969658 0aJapanxHistory.98076814aPolitical Sociology.95799924aInternational Security Studies.96956024aRegionalism.97042424aAsian Politics.96966124aHistory of Japan.9807692 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer Nature eBook08iPrinted edition:z978303160578908iPrinted edition:z978303160580208iPrinted edition:z9783031605819 0aUnited Nations University Series on Regionalism,x2214-9856 ;v2898077040uhttps://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-60579-6  aZDB-2-SLS  aZDB-2-SXS  c61687d61687
