Analysing the Perceptions, Key Issues and Challenges of Japan’s New Defence White Paper 2020

Eiichi Katahara

East Asian Policy (EAP), 2020, vol. 12, issue 04, 5-18

Abstract: Japan’s new defence white paper offers an overview of the security environment surrounding Japan and the numerous issues concerning Tokyo’s defence and security policy. It highlights North Korea’s increasing missile-related technologies, China’s growing military power and assertive activities, and the impact of the COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) infection on security issues. Japan will likely remain a cautious security policy player while emerging as a robust military power with growing deterrence and defence capabilities.
