| Since Abe’s second administration in 2012,Japan ’s national security philosophy and national security policy have undergone significant changes compared to previous sessions.On September 12,2013,at the symposium on security and defense forces,Shinzo Abe formally proposed the concept of national security "Positive Peace Doctrine” based on international coordination.From this standpoint,he explored Japan’s national security strategy in the future.In order to ensure the smooth implementation of this concept of national security,Abe’s government frequently updates the content of national security policy and foreign policy to achieve policy transformation of this concept.First of all,at the level of Japanese security,Japan set up a national security conference,promulgated the first Japanese "National Security Strategy",frequently updated defense policies,passed the implementation of new security bills,established a new Japan-US security treaty,and helped Japan defend itself.The overall layout of "local-surrounding areas-overlooking the world" has been formed,and turn passive defense into active defense.Second,the change in Japan’s national security strategy is inseparable from the support of the United States.Therefore,in the new period,Japan must not only strengthen the basic axis of the Japan-US alliance,improve all aspects of Japan-US cooperation,and achieve seamless docking,so as to use the United States’ east wind to develop its military power,to the military power,political power forward.At the level of the Japan-US alliance,Japan and the United States have revised the "Guidelines for US-Japan Defense Cooperation," which has continued to broaden the scope and areas of cooperation between the two countries.At the same time,Japan turned to the role of totally dependent on the United States,assumed more responsibilities in the alliance,and improved Japan’s independent defense capabilities.Finally,at the diplomatic level,Abe actively promotes "values diplomacy" and advocates that the universal values of modern democracy,such as freedom,human rights,the rule of law,and democracy,are the fundamental principles for conducting diplomatic activities.This diplomatic proposition was greatly admired by Shinzo Abe.In addition,Abe is striving to build "overlooking globe" diplomacy.The methods advocated by the "Overlooking the Globe" diplomacy are more flexible and diverse,and the scope of activities is wider.It can be said that it is an upgraded version of the previous "value diplomacy".Abe said that the scope of diplomatic activities should not be limited to individual countries around the world,but also establish a global perspective,overlooking the world like a globe,and integrate the essence of "value diplomacy",based on universal values such as freedom and democracy,and broaden Japan’s diplomatic space,and actively promote Japan’s global influence.In the future,Abe’s government will take corresponding measures to consolidate the results brought about by the concept of national security "Positive Peace Doctrine”.For example,to maintain all the advantages of the current Liberal Democratic Party,continue to stabilize the Liberal Democratic Party’s political rule,stabilize economic growth and improve people’s livelihood,strengthen the publicity of the " China Threat Theory " by official and private media,strengthen government development assistance,and establish the international image of " peaceful country." The proposition and implementation of the concept of national security " Positive Peace Doctrine”has had an impact that cannot be ignored on Japan,the United States,and the surrounding countries.The change in Japan’s national security concept means that Japan may use more of its military power in the cause of world peace.It helps to maintain peace and ease regional turbulence,but with the revival of militarism in Japan,the development of Japanese military power is ultimately a double-edged sword,and the impact on the world structure is still unknown. |
