The Abe DoctrineThe Domestic Implication: Japan’s Ballistic Missile Defense Policy

The Abe Doctrine: The Domestic Implication: Japan’s Ballistic Missile Defense Policy [This chapter attempts to contextualize the development of Japan’s policy on the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system, since the enhancement of Japan’s BMD system was one of the major reasons why the Abe government needed to enact the Peace and Security Legislation, as pointed out in Chap. 4. First, the political background of the BMD system from the Cold War period to the present is contextualized. Next, the legal framework of Japan’s BMD policy is confirmed in terms of the revision of the Self-Defense Forces Law and the creation of the Peace and Security Legislation. In this context, the three phases in Japan’s BMD system, boost, mid-course and terminal, are examined. Finally, this chapter provides an analysis on the possibility of Japan’s strike capability against adversaries’ missile bases within the framework of the current defense policy, that is, exclusively defense-oriented policy or defensive defense policy (senshu boei).] http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png

Abstract

[This chapter attempts to contextualize the development of Japan’s policy on the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) system, since the enhancement of Japan’s BMD system was one of the major reasons why the Abe government needed to enact the Peace and Security Legislation, as pointed out in Chap. 4. First, the political background of the BMD system from the Cold War period to the present is contextualized. Next, the legal framework of Japan’s BMD policy is confirmed in terms of the revision of the Self-Defense Forces Law and the creation of the Peace and Security Legislation. In this context, the three phases in Japan’s BMD system, boost, mid-course and terminal, are examined. Finally, this chapter provides an analysis on the possibility of Japan’s strike capability against adversaries’ missile bases within the framework of the current defense policy, that is, exclusively defense-oriented policy or defensive defense policy (senshu boei).]
