Abstract

Abe Shinzo¯ has pledged to "take Japan back" from its constraining postwar regime. Redesigned institutions for intelligence and security policy coordination and "proactive pacifism" have facilitated the exercise of collective self-defense and strengthened the US-Japan alliance. The evolving security system is accelerating the dilution of Japan's pacifist norms.
