碩士 / 國立中興大學 / 國際政治研究所 / 97 / Japan is an island state that is in serious shortage of natural resources. In order to strive for more maritime rights and interests and to maintain security of maritime transport channels, with internal and external request and support, maritime security policy has been regulated to promote Japan’s status as a great maritime power. This thesis observes the transformation of Japan’s maritime security policy from the 2001 “911” event to June 2009. It also evaluates the reforms of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force and Japan Coast Guard as well as their impacts on East Asia’s maritime security environment.
Through the analytical framework of "political system theory", this dissertation clarifies the major external and internal factors that influence Japan’s maritime security policy. For the external factors, they include the transition of maritime security environment, the surrounding countries’ maritime rights, and the threats of sea-lane security. As for the internal factors, they include Japan’s demands for energy supplies and sea-line security, as well as the domestic pressure to advance maritime administration mechanism innovation.
The thesis finds that the change of Japan''s maritime security policy corresponds with the shifts in Japan’s maritime security environment. The dynamics of Japan’s maritime security policy are to defend Japan against external security threats and to meet domestic political demands.
Key words: Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, Japan Coast Guard, disputes over maritime rights and interests, security of maritime transport channels, maritime security policy.
