This book examines Japans changing pacifism and its implications for Japans security identity from 1945 to the present. To examine the shift in Japanese pacifism, this research employs the concept of negative pacifism (Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution) and positive pacifism (the Preamble of the Constitution) as an analytical framework. To analyse multiple factors which facilitated the shift in Japans pacifism, this study applies analytical eclecticism and integrates the analytical framework (negative-positive pacifism) with orthodox international relations theories and approaches. In an application of analytical eclecticism, the author proposes four theoretical models of Japans security identity: (a) pacifist state (classical liberalism/negative pacifism); (b) UN peacekeeper (neo-liberalism/positive pacifism); (c) normal state (classical realism/domestic pressure); and (d) US ally (neo-realism/external-structural pressure). In addition to the four basic models above, this book attempts to reveal Japans core security identity as a global pacifist state.
