Prospects for Hatoyama Cabinet's Foreign Policy

apan's foreign policy 
platform is undergoing a 
paradigm shift from the 
"Yoshida Doctrine" of the 
Cold War era to the concept 
of "normal state." The basic objectives of 
the "normal state" concept are to possess 
defense capabilities befitting Japan's 
economic capacity, positively make 
international contributions with those 
defense capabilities, and, if needed, dispatch 
the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) 
overseas and revise the constitution to 
that end. In terms of governing foreign 
policy ideology, the Democratic Party 
of Japan (DPJ) cabinet, which was 
inaugurated in September 2009, shares 
the "normal state" concept that has 
taken root in Japan since the mid-1990s. 
Japan will stay on the "militarily 
normal state" path, which it has been 
on since the end of the Cold War, as 
well as, during the DPJ cabinet's rule. 
Japan will not likely become a military 
power in the foreseeable future, for the 
DPJ cabinet has pledged to slash the 
country's defense budget and inherit 
the US-Japan security system. However, 
moves toward "becoming independent 
from the United States" will surface in 
Japanese society, and against that 
backdrop, Japan may be reborn as a 
"normal state" in the true sense of the 
word—a nation free to possess military 
capabilities and exercise the right of 
collective self-defense without a care 
for US opinion. The LDP's endeavors 
toward turning Japan into a normal 
state were premised on realigning and 
strengthening the US-Japan alliance; the 
advent of the Hatoyama cabinet, which 
espouses an "equal US-Japan relationship," 
signals riper conditions for Japan to build 
independent security capabilities over the 
medium to long term.
