1 December 2014
Voters don’t care
• Top issue in for the election:
– 35% economic policy
– 27% social security.
– 10% fiscal rehabilitation.
– 8% nuclear power and energy policy.
– 53% don’t approve collective self-defense.
Voters don’t care
• Most important tasks for Cabinet (May 2014)
– Economy: 55%
– Welfare: 50%
– Public finance: 18%
– Energy/nuke power: 17%
– Post 3/11 reconstruction: 16%
– Defense/diplomacy: 10% (LDP voters: 16%)
– Constitutional revision: 4%
Japanese security policy
• Yoshida Doctrine alive and well.
Japanese security policy
• Reactive/passive:
– No effort to shape environment militarily.
– Low non-military profile too (aid, public
diplomacy, immigration).
– Partial attempts develop stronger regional allies:
• Ties with ROK hurt by (a) history (b) Tokdo/Takeshima
(c) lack of vision in Tokyo, (d) ROK politics.
• Relations with SE Asia developing but limited.
• Stronger defense ties with Australia, distance is issue.
• Budget caps undermine policy.
Japan military outlays in perspective
• Defense expenditures % gdp:
– Japan: 1.0-1.5% + no conscription
– Singapore: 3.5% + conscription.
– South Korea: 2.5% + conscription
– Canada: 1.0% + closest integration with US.
– W. Germany Cold War 1980: 3.0% + conscription.
• SDF not a priority for Japan.
Effectiveness of Japanese policy?
• Keeps Japan safe.
• Satisfies US (mostly).
• Zero dead.
• Low cost 1.0-1.5% gdp.
• Enough (with US) to deter China? Unknown.
Risk: under-investment in national security
hurts deterrence, ability to fight/win.

Robert Dujarric:Debating defense?

  • 1. Debating defense? Robert Dujarric Temple University Japan robertdujarric@gmail.com 1 December 2014
  • 2. Voters don’t care • Top issue in for the election: – 35% economic policy – 27% social security. – 10% fiscal rehabilitation. – 8% nuclear power and energy policy. – 53% don’t approve collective self-defense.
  • 3. Voters don’t care • Most important tasks for Cabinet (May 2014) – Economy: 55% – Welfare: 50% – Public finance: 18% – Energy/nuke power: 17% – Post 3/11 reconstruction: 16% – Defense/diplomacy: 10% (LDP voters: 16%) – Constitutional revision: 4%
  • 4. Japanese security policy • Yoshida Doctrine alive and well.
  • 5. Japanese security policy • Reactive/passive: – No effort to shape environment militarily. – Low non-military profile too (aid, public diplomacy, immigration). – Partial attempts develop stronger regional allies: • Ties with ROK hurt by (a) history (b) Tokdo/Takeshima (c) lack of vision in Tokyo, (d) ROK politics. • Relations with SE Asia developing but limited. • Stronger defense ties with Australia, distance is issue. • Budget caps undermine policy.
  • 6. Japan military outlays in perspective • Defense expenditures % gdp: – Japan: 1.0-1.5% + no conscription – Singapore: 3.5% + conscription. – South Korea: 2.5% + conscription – Canada: 1.0% + closest integration with US. – W. Germany Cold War 1980: 3.0% + conscription. • SDF not a priority for Japan.
  • 7. Effectiveness of Japanese policy? • Keeps Japan safe. • Satisfies US (mostly). • Zero dead. • Low cost 1.0-1.5% gdp. • Enough (with US) to deter China? Unknown. Risk: under-investment in national security hurts deterrence, ability to fight/win.
