Strengthening Japan’s Defense Diplomacy: An SPF Policy Proposal
Strengthening Japan’s Defense Diplomacy draws on research conducted by the Sasakawa Peace Foundation’s Defense Diplomacy Project to offer proposals on urgent issues confronting Japan’s defense and foreign policy. The nine proposals presented here have been drafted by seven authors with diverse areas of expertise and points of view—including former senior officials of the Ministry of Defense and the Self-Defense Forces—following a process of extensive debate and mutual review.
