Analysis on Japan's Military Buildup Plan around the New Three Security Documents
As the Kishida Administration introduced the New Three Security Documents in December 2022,Japan's military buildup has been experiencing a significant transformation.Japan violated the 1%GDP cap on defense budget and the Exclusively Defense-Oriented Policy.Japan has been attempting to dramatic-ally raise its defense budget and comprehensively enhance its military capabilities to become a military pow-er that is"capable of fighting".There are several reasons for the introduction of the New Three Security Doc-uments,including Japan's biased"threat perception"towards its neighboring countries,the need to coop-erate with the military strategy of the United States and enhance Japan-U.S.security cooperation,and the increasing concern for national defense issues within Japan.However,the prospect of Japan's military buildup plan remains uncertain.This can be seen from the facts that the growth plan for the defense budget may not be fully implemented and the pacifism ideology and the challenges in recruitment hinder Japan from becoming a major military power to a certain degree.
