Japan Self-Defense Force - Maintaining an exclusive defense-oriented policy

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Japan Self-Defense Forces are the unified military forces of Japan that were established after the end of the post World War II Allied occupation of Japan. For most of the post-war period the JSDF was confined to the islands of Japan and not permitted to be deployed abroad. In recent years, however, they have been engaged in international peacekeeping operations. Recent tensions, particularly with North Korea, have reignited the debate over the status of the JSDF and its relation to Japanese society. New military guidelines, announced in December 2010, will direct the JSDF away from its Cold War focus on the Soviet Union to a focus on China, especially regarding the dispute over the Senkaku Islands.
