Japan Self-Defense Forces’ Overseas Dispatch Operations in the 1990s: Effective International Actors? Garren Mulloy A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Newcastle University School of Geography, Politics and Sociology 2011 Abstract Garren Mulloy This thesis investigates Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) overseas deployment operations (ODO) of the 1990s to evaluate whether the JSDF were effective international actors. This study fills a significant gap in extant literature concerning operational effectiveness, most studies having concentrated upon constitutionality and legality. This study places operational evaluations within the context of international actors during the vital decade of the 1990s, and within the broader context of Japanese security policies. JSDF performance is studied in four mission variants: UN peacekeeping, allied support, humanitarian assistance, and disaster relief operations. A four-stage analytical framework is utilised, evaluating JSDF effectiveness, efficiency, and quality, comparing between missions, mission variants, and with other international actors, thereby cross-referencing evaluations and analyses. The historical development of the JSDF profoundly affected their configuration and ability to conduct operations, not least the mechanisms of civilian control, the constitution, and mediated passage of ODO-related laws. However, these factors have not prevented the development of significant JSDF ODO-capabilities, and their development is traced through the target decade, and linked to the successful completion of post-2001 operations in Iraq and East Timor. It is found that although JSDF ODO in the 1990s provided effective, quality services, operational efficiency was frequently compromised by lack of investment in key capabilities and limited scales of dispatch, despite the relative cost-effectiveness of ODO. Compared to other armed forces, JSDF capabilities developed well in the early 1990s but the Forces failed to comprehensively capitalise upon their achievements unlike a diverse range of international ODO actors. The JSDF during the 1990s thereby developed as an effective, albeit narrow-spectrum, ODO actor, highly capable and well respected, yet compromised by investment, restrictions, and culture. This operational development matched the development of security policies that increasingly attempted to link military, diplomatic, and non-traditional security elements within an emergent Japanese strategy.

The greatest thanks must go to Professor Reinhard Drifte, Professor Emeritus, Newcastle University, not only for the advice and discipline required to complete the thesis, but also for his enthusiasm and belief from the very beginning in both the innate value of the project and my own ability to complete it. His support and enthusiasm never wavered, even when mine did, and continued even after his early retirement from Newcastle University. Without him, this thesis would not have been completed, and yet the errors of fact or analysis herein are only my own. Many people helped with preparation for the viva but particular thanks are due to Professor Hartmut Behr and Dr. Marie Lall, while Dr. Jocelyn Mawdsley and Professor Christopher W Hughes provided expert challenges and comments to improve the thesis. There have been far more people who have helped with this research than it is possible to list, but within universities, academic societies, institutions, ministries, agencies, and armed forces there are a great many people who have stood out by their unerring kindness and generosity. My efforts do not do them justice. These include many members of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, and the degree to which they opened their offices, patiently explained and answered questions, and socialised with me has been a precious experience. Thanks must also be given to the National Institute for Defense Studies and the Research Institute for Peace and Security for their help and advice, and for colleagues at Keio University and Daito Bunka University in Japan. Such a long and involved project has also been aided by the patience of friends, and family who have understood why I was absent, absent minded, or otherwise engaged at various times during the past decade. Their kindness and patience is greatly appreciated, particularly as a number passed away during this project. viii Note on Citations and Translations Throughout this thesis, Japanese names have been written in ‘standard’ Romanised form, with family name first, with other names cited by fore-name followed by family-name format in the main text. To reduce the possibilities of confusion between Asian and other names, the form of ‘family-name, fore-name’ has been utilised in the footnotes as well as the bibliography, for all names (e.g. Tanaka, Taro and Smith, John). British spelling has been utilised, unless when quoting from texts that have used alternate spellings. Japanese standard Romanised spelling has been used for place names (e.g. Tokyo), while Japanese titles and names have been translated into English with the Japanese Romanised version italicised in brackets, e.g. “Regional Armies (Houmentai )”; “Ebata, Kensuke, Information and the State (Jouhou to kokka )”. Those Japanese terms and names not in common usage have been italicised. Where Japanese translations have been provided by the author or publisher, these have been utilised, even when not literal translations of titles.

    e Fukushima Nuclearand Crisis Accident Management e Fukushima The Fukushima Nuclear Accident and Crisis Management — Lessons for Japan-U.S. Alliance Cooperation — — Lessons for Japan-U.S. Alliance Cooperation — — Lessons for Japan-U.S. September, 2012 e Sasakawa Peace Foundation Foreword This report is the culmination of a research project titled ”Assessment: Japan-US Response to the Fukushima Crisis,” which the Sasakawa Peace Foundation launched in July 2011. The accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant that resulted from the Great East Japan Earthquake of March 11, 2011, involved the dispersion and spread of radioactive materials, and thus from both the political and economic perspectives, the accident became not only an issue for Japan itself but also an issue requiring international crisis management. Because nuclear plants can become the target of nuclear terrorism, problems related to such facilities are directly connected to security issues. However, the policymaking of the Japanese government and Japan-US coordination in response to the Fukushima crisis was not implemented smoothly. This research project was premised upon the belief that it is extremely important for the future of the Japan-US relationship to draw lessons from the recent crisis and use that to deepen bilateral cooperation. The objective of this project was thus to review and analyze the lessons that can be drawn from US and Japanese responses to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, and on the basis of these assessments, to contribute to enhancing the Japan-US alliance’s nuclear crisis management capabilities, including its ability to respond to nuclear terrorism.

Introduction Despite having gone through a marathon 18 days full of events against all odds due to the pandemic, the glamour of the Summer Olympic Games lived on as the entire world got together in a true show of force and unity with athletes battling it out to the least shot, millimetre and point to return back home as Olympic heroes. The starting lists and medals’ table have, as in previous editions, served as an ideal platform for the traditional powerhouses in world sport to further demonstrate their dominance with a few surprises making the headlines from time to time. Ever since the inaugural edition of the Games for the Small States of Europe (GSSE) held in 1985 in San Marino, this biannual event became a benchmark for the participating countries to gauge their progress against other similar countries whose population is less than 1 million inhabitants. As per Table 1, if the same model were to be applied across the globe at Olympic level, 48 countries would fit in the bill for such a comparative exercise with Cyprus’ population, one of the founding members of the GSSE, now increasing to 1.2 million.
