  • Japan’s Proactive Security Policy After Abe: Strategic Rhetoric and Practical Limitations

    Open AccessMattia Dello Spedale Venti, Yoichiro SatoARTICLEJournal of Asian Security and…2026

    The assessment of Japan’s security policy during the first 23 years of the twenty-first century went through a 180-degree turn from that of a reactive pacifist to a proactive strategic player. With the end of the Cold War and the emergence of new challenges at a global and regional level, Japan’s leading political drivers, summed up in the Yoshida Doctrine, seemed unable to address the new geopolitical context, entering a phase of reform. The lat…

    Open AccessYoichiro SatoARTICLEAsia & the Pacific Policy Studies2026References: 6

    In the 21st Century, geopolitical confrontation between the Eurasian continental powers and the sea powers works to divide Asia.

  • The US-Japan Alliance Dilemma in the Asia-Pacific: Changing Rationales and Scope

    Elena Atanassova‐corneli, Elena Atanassova-Cornelis et al.ARTICLEThe International Spectator2019

    The changes in the US-Japan alliance are taking place in times of a global power shift – a transition from unipolarity to multipolarity – and China’s challenge to the US’ security dominance in the Asia-Pacific. The alliance security dilemma now manifests itself in the rise of ‘entrapment’ concerns for Washington and ‘abandonment’ anxieties for Tokyo. The US increasingly insists on more mutuality in alliance arrangements, while seeking to maintain…

  • Vietnam's Post‐Cold War Hedging Strategy: A Changing Mix of Realist and Liberal Ingredients

    Open AccessThi Bich Tran, Thi Bich Ngoc Tran et al.ARTICLEAsian Politics & Policy2018Cited by: 1References: 21

The findings show that Vietnam's hedging strategy is a dynamically changing mix of four realist and liberal ingredients (diplomatic engagement, economic engagement, soft bala…

    Yoichiro SatoARTICLEAsian Affairs An American Review2008

    Australia occupies a uniquely strong position in Japan's evolving security partnerships.
