Political Origins of the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers, 1960–1965: Why the State Sends Young Volunteers Abroad Yasunobu Okabe * Abstract This paper examines the political origins of the Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers (JOCV) through the lens of two research questions: (1) Why did the Japanese government undertake the JOCV project in 1965? and (2) Why did the project pursue multifaceted objectives – technical assistance, international friendship, and youth development? These questions are important for two reasons. First, as the country was struggling economically, experiencing domestic turmoil, and vulnerable to international conflict, it is surprising that the government would begin sending young volunteers to developing countries. Second, the JOCV’s objectives are inconsistent with each other, and therefore their coexistence requires further examination. Using a multi-level analysis strategy, we explore international and domestic factors.

  • Explaining Japanese Antimilitarism Explaining Japanese Yasuhiro Izumikawa Antimilitarism Normative and Realist Constraints on Japan’S Security Policy
    Explaining Japanese Antimilitarism Explaining Japanese Yasuhiro Izumikawa Antimilitarism Normative and Realist Constraints on Japan’s Security Policy Following its devas- tating defeat in World War II, Japan enacted its so-called peace constitution. The constitution severely restricts Japan’s use of force, relegating the coun- try to a minimal military role in the world.1 In the last decade, however, Japan has increasingly employed its military overseas. In November 2001, the Japanese government dispatched the Maritime Self-Defense Force (MSDF) to the Indian Ocean to support U.S. military operations against Afghanistan. Af- ter the major battles of the Iraq War ended in 2003, it sent the Ground and Air Self-Defense Forces (GSDF and ASDF) to Iraq as part of the U.S. “coalition of the willing.” More recently, in March 2009, it dispatched the MSDF to the Somali coast to protect vessels from pirates. Such actions would have been un- thinkable during the Cold War, and they symbolize Japan’s dramatically changed attitude toward overseas military involvement. The transformation of Japan’s security policy began in the mid-1990s. In April 1996, Japan reconªrmed its strong commitment to the U.S.-Japan alliance by announcing the U.S.-Japan Security Joint Declaration. In September 1997, it adopted the new U.S.-Japan Defense Guidelines to clarify its role and missions with regard to military contingencies around Japan and adjacent areas. In 2005 Japan agreed to take signiªcant steps to enhance U.S.-Japan joint military operability by hosting the U.S. Army’s 1st Command Division at Camp Zama, near Tokyo, and by deploying the Air Force Command of the SDF to the U.S.

  • Controversies Over Japan's Defense Policy in the Détente
    August 2019 Issue Controversies over Japan’s Defense Policy in the Détente Era Yasuaki Chijiwa National Security Policy Division, Center for Military History Introduction: Détente and the Emergence of the “Basic Defense Force Concept” Tensions between the east and the west during the Cold War were on the brink of a nuclear war at the beginning of the 1960s during the Cuban Missile Crisis (October 1962). After that, however, the United States and the Soviet Union found common interests in preventing the outbreak of a nuclear war, which then led into the era of détente (easing of tensions). The first Strategic Arms Limitation Talks (SALT-I) commenced from November 1969 (the provisional agreement SALT-I was concluded in May 1972), while SALT-II commenced from November 1972. In July 1971, U.S. President Nixon’s visit to China was announced, paving the way to a reconciliation between the U. S. and China. With regard to the Vietnam War as well, the Paris Peace Accords were concluded in January 1973, and the U.S. Forces in Vietnam were withdrawn in March the same year. The Détente also brought about changes to Japan’s security policy. On October 29, 1976, the first National Defense Program Outline (1976 NDPO, Boei Keikaku no Taiko or Boei Taiko) were drawn up, and the “Basic Defense Force Concept” (Kibanteki Boeiryoku Koso) was introduced as Japan’s approach to defense capability. The 1976 NDPO set out the following key points with regard to Japan’s defense capability:“The possession of the assorted functions required for national defense, while

  • Civil-Military Relations in Post WWII Japan
    The Paradox of Antimilitarism: Civil-Military Relations in Post World War II Japan Takako Hikotani Submitted in partial fulfillment of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 Copyright 2014 Takako Hikotani All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT The Paradox of Antimilitarism: Civil-Military Relations in Post World War II Japan Takako Hikotani The changing security environment in Asia has led to a renewed interest in the Japanese Self Defense Forces (SDF). However, the SDF itself remains a black box: assessed either in terms of its problematic legal standing or physical military capacity, but with limited understanding of the people within; who they are, what they do, and how they think. This dissertation opens up the black box and brings the SDF officers into the analysis of civil-military relations in post-war Japan. I present a theoretical framework inspired by principal-agent theory, in which I hypothesize that the type of control (ex-ante or ex-post) and preference divergence between the civilians and the military produces four different outcomes in civil-military relations: containment, auto pilot, conflictual, and cooperative (possibly excessive). I examine how civil-military relations in Japan evolved over time and across three realms of defense policy making, budget, personnel, and use of force; utilizing the findings from an opinion survey conducted among SDF officers and civilian elite addressing the “civil-military gap,” oral history records of former SDF leaders and civilian defense officials, and interviews with active duty SDF officers and civilian officials. My research shows that civil-military relations in Japan was generally calm, not because the ex-ante constraints were strong and suppressed the opposing views of the SDF, but because the policy preferences of SDF officers and civilian bureaucracy converged in support of the alliance relationship with the United States.

  • Tracing Criticisms of the “Basic Defense Force Concept” During the Second Cold War —Controversies Over Japan's Defense
    Tracing Criticisms of the “Basic Defense Force Concept” During the Second Cold War —Controversies over Japan’s Defense Policy in the 1980s—* CHIJIWA Yasuaki** Abstract This research discusses why Japan’s “Basic Defense Force Concept” adopted earlier was maintained amidst the widely-discussed demise of détente and the arrival of the “Second Cold War” between the United States and the Soviet Union entering the 1980s. From the perspective that perceives the Basic Defense Force Concept as a “beyond-the-threat theory,” the defense controversies that unfolded during the Second Cold War were waged between the Basic Defense Force Concept and criticisms of the Basic Defense Force Concept resembling the “counter-threat theory” based on the increasing threat recognition. As a result, the Basic Defense Force Concept was not abandoned, which probably might finish with the victory of the Basic Defense Force Concept against the “counter-threat theory.” However, that was actually not the case. The Basic Defense Force Concept began to coexist with the “Idea of Defense Force Reinforcement,” a competing theory to the Basic Defense Force Concept that took prominence during the Second Cold War, due to the “Idea of Attached Table Early Achievement” and the “Idea of Attached Table Revision and Concept Change,” considered to be a competing theory to the Basic Defense Force Concept as well, due to the “Idea of Attached Table Revision and Concept Continuation.” Introduction This research discusses why the “Basic Defense Force Concept (Kibanteki Boeiryoku Koso),”
