Securing Development in the World:The Case of Japan

Against the backdrop of the current international situation,which remains complex and fast-changing, Japan dances to America's tune, attempting to rebuild its industrial power featuring “strategic indispensability,” establish resource power based on the independent and stable supply of strategic materials, and construct normative power to influence or even dominate the international economic order. Such an approach closely echoes the current three strategic preferences of Japan:re-emergence as a global power has been Japan's long-held political aspiration, conservatism defines the country's way of thinking, and liberalization and openness reflect realistic needs. Japan relies excessively on conservative thinking, overemphasizes “small security,” and stresses “strategic autonomy.” However, the greater importance it places on security, the less secure it will become. Similarly, decoupling and supply chain disruption will only retard the development of Japan, pushing the country into the trap of Braess' s Paradox. The rise of the East, the decline of the West, and the advent of the Asian century are historical trends.Japan cannot achieve secure development in isolation from Asia and the East, much less from China.
