The Development of Japan’s Seapower Strategy in the Post-War Era: From the Perspective of Seapower Theory / 戰後日本海權戰略發展:海權理論的觀點

碩士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 東亞學系 / 106 / This study aims to clarify the motivations and evolution of Japan’s seapower strategy in the Post-War Era by using the seapower theory in order to reply to issues such as “Will Japan keep developing its military power and break the limitation from the article 9 of the constitution?” and “What is the tendency of East Asia’s regional security situation in the foreseeable future?”

According to the conclusions of the research, this study suggests that Japan’s concept of modern seapower emerged in the late middle Edo period, grew in the period of the Empire of Japan and resurrected in the Post-War Era mainly due to the effects of “international system” and “economy and trade” despite the once stagnation caused by the failure of WWⅡ. Also, with the pressure and assistance which were given by America in the “New Cold War” (1980s) era, Japan’s seapower has progressively become the power that can no longer be underestimated in the East Asia. On the other hand, the study believes that Japan will continue to chase the seapower strategy which is combined with “sea power” and “sea right/interest” in the future for the purposes of keeping the existence and development of the state in the dynamic international system. By doing so, Japan will gradually break the limitation from the article 9 of the constitution and regain the right of conducting military power.
