Abstract:
|
This study examines Japan and Germany's responses to the war on terrorism. It asks whether these two states, often claimed by Culturalists to be anomalies for Realism, can be so regarded in the 'war on terrorism.' Using Japan as a primary case and Germany as a secondary case, this study focuses on these two states' responses to the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. It concludes that Realist variables of national interest, power, and perceived threat, more than domestic anti-militarist and pacifist norms, are determining Japan and Germany's responses. Defensive Realism, and especially balance of threat theory, can best account for the pattern of participation and abstention by these two nations in the 'war on terrorism.' |

| 26 distinctions between wars based upon whether the resort to force is in response to an attack or an eminent threat to national security as opposed to other reasons. The very different responses to the war in Afghanistan where public opinion was relativel y understanding versus the Iraq War where lopsided majorities have consistently opposed the war well captures this trend. Japanese public opinion also remains skeptical about the utility of military force for purposes other than national defense |
