Summary "Particularly since September 2001, Japanese policy endeavoring to abolish all nuclear weapons has conflicted with Tokyo's support of Washington, D.C.'s conspicuous counter-proliferation campaign. While Tokyo struggles to "normalize" Japan through a strong and available military, the nation as a whole has attempted to promote pacifism. And Japan's relationship with anti-nuclear weapons organizations has suffered due to Tokyo's tepid approach to nuclear disarmament. This book explores the apparent contradictions behind Japan's stated goal of nuclear disarmament and its tacit acceptance of being protected by the U.S. nuclear umbrella."--BOOK JACKET
