The book examines the shift in Japan's defense strategy following September 11, 2001, highlighting a growing realpolitik perspective among both elites and the public. Daniel Kliman uses poll data and interviews to illustrate how traditional legal and normative constraints on security policy have weakened. Key developments include Japan's deployment of the Maritime Self-Defense Force to the Indian Ocean, the introduction of missile defense systems, and troop contributions to Iraq's reconstruction efforts, marking a significant change in Japan's military posture.
