Japan's Foreign and Security Policy Under the 'Abe Doctrine': New Dynamism or New Dead End?

by Christopher W. Hughes

Japan is shifting onto a new trajectory for a more muscular national security policy, US-Japan alliance ties functioning for regional and global security, and the encirclement of China's influence in East Asia. The author explores how PM Abe Shinzō's doctrine may prove contradictory and counter-productive to Japanese national interests.
