Japan's security policy has been subject to a series of rapid changes over the last two decades. Major developments on this score, such as the Peace Cooperation Law (1992), Japan Self-Defense Forces (SDF) deployment overseas under the Anti-Terrorism Special Measures Law (2001) (e.g., to the Indian Ocean, 2001–10 and Iraq 2003–06), the Trilateral Strategic Dialogue (TSD) (2006) and the creation of the Ministry of Defense (2007), have demonstrated a more proactive Japanese international security policy. This is a reflection of what T. J. Pempel (2009: 1) calls Tokyo's revived 'omnidirectional diplomacy'. This more determined foreign policy stance is undergirded by the country's stronger nationalistic posture (including a re-examination of Article 9 in Japan's Constitution) and a sustained development of Japan's military capabilities, especially in terms of naval power projection. Such developments have fuelled a lively 'Japan rising' debate (Pyle 2007) with some commentators questioning whether this drive towards 'normalisation' represents a 'Heisei re-militarisation' (Tanter 2009; Hughes 2009).KeywordsForeign AffairFree Trade AgreementRegional SecurityStrategic PartnershipSecurity ArchitectureThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
