- 研究成果概要
The Tokutei kadai grant has been utilized in the acquisition of books that are significantly advancing my research on the relationship between domestic politics and Japanese foreign policy. In particular, I am looking at two policy areas of Japanese foreign /security policy:
(1) Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, the role of narratives for and against revision, and the legal structures governing the Japan Self-Defense Forces
(2) Japan’s foreign policy vis-à-vis South Korea and the interaction between historical memory and security cooperation.
The principle sources of domestic politics under investigation include public opinion, domestic lobby groups, and the political psychology of primary policy decision makers.
I will be submitting journal articles for publication on these two topics in the coming months.
