Contents Executive summary. -- Introduction. -- Historical background. -- Part 1: Challenges. Japan's threat assessment: 'an increasingly severe security environment'. -- Part 2: Responses.

Summary This special report demonstrates the extraordinary proactivity of Japan towards issues of regional order-building, security and defence policy, and military capability development and teases out the implications for Australia as a closely aligned partner. The author collates and presents a wide range of disparate official source documentation and thematic analyses to render an appraisal of Japan's security strategy in a comprehensive but digestible format. The report concludes that, while Japanese activity in the security sphere has been unprecedented and prolific, Canberra must also be aware of certain limitations in terms of resources, and political caveats to Japan becoming a 'normal country' or bona fide 'great power'
