The Strategic Studies Institute (SSI) is part of the U.S. Army War College and is the strategic level study agent for issues related to national security and military strategy with emphasis on geostrategic ana…lysis. Studies produced by civilian and military analysts concern topics having strategic implications for the Army, the Department of Defense, and the larger national security community. Paraphrased from the Foreword by Douglas C. Lovelace, Jr., SSI's Director: Currently, optimism reigns among managers on both sides of the U.S.-Japan alliance for many reasons. The Japanese are emerging from 5 decades of military minimalism and dependency and beginning to have serious debates about their role in the world and the efficacy of military power. This internal debate, however, has significant external ramifications for Northeast Asia and the United States. A decade ago, Henry Kissinger wrote that "the new world order, with its multiplicity of challenges, will almost certainly oblige a country [Japan] with so proud of a past to reexamine its reliance on a single ally." In this monograph, Lieutenant Colonel (P) William E. Rapp explores the changing nature of Japanese security policy and the impact of those changes on the U.S.-Japan security alliance. His extensive research from both published sources and personal interviews with ranking Japanese and American leaders and bureaucrats provides valuable and timely insights into the changing nature of the relationship between these two powers. Lieutenant Colonel William E. Rapp is a career soldier who has served in a variety of assignments around the world. Most recently, he served as a Council on Foreign Relations-Hitachi International Affairs Fellow at the Institute for International Policy Studies in Tokyo.
