This book examines Japan's nuclear identity and its implications for abolition of nuclear weapons.

This book focuses on Prime Minister Abe's policy toward international peace and security proposed in 2013 under the basic principle of 'proactive contribution to peace'.

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.
