Research Area
Modern Japanese Political and Diplomatic History, International History
Researcher Who I Would Like to Become
I want to be a researcher who can explore the postwar Japan’s security issues from the inclusive and global perspective.
Introduction of My Research Topic
My research interests include modern Japanese political and diplomatic history and international history. My research topic is the relations between postwar Japanese security policy and domestic political and social movements. In my Ph. D. dissertation, I analyzed the impact of Japan’s internal security problem in the occupation era on the establishment of the postwar US-Japan relationship, arguing that postwar Japan’s democratization, particularly the collapse of the centralized internal security system, strongly influenced Japan’s dependence on US military forces for maintaining post-occupation internal security. Based on the dissertation, I want to explore the impact of the establishment of the postwar US-Japan relationship over internal security on postwar Japan’s national identity and reconsider the relations between democracy and security in postwar Japan.
