FOUNDATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL THINKING ON SEA POWER
No. 2
A MARITIME NATION’S STRUGGLE FOR IDENTITY NAOKO SAJIMA AND KYOICHI TACHIKAWA This work examines the highs and lows of Japanese sea power. From the earliest times the sea was used as a means of communication and as a practical aid for the consolidation of Japanese national power, but many medieval and early modern Japanese leaders preferred isolation to engagement. From the late 1850s Japan developed an oceanic navy capable of defeating rival Pacific naval powers, however that imperial navy ultimately outgrew Japan’s national capacity and during World War II the destruction of Japanese sea power ultimately led to the defeat and occupation of Japan itself. Since 1951 Japan has re-engaged with the global economic community while remaining dependent upon international sea communications and the United States Forces in Japan. The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is confirmation of contemporary Japanese sea power and it has again become an important contributor to national policy, while the future application of sea power is hotly debated in Japan today.

This is the second volume in the Foundations of International Thinking on Sea Power series. It brings historical and contemporary evidence together to help inform readers interested in maritime affairs but it also should help to improve our understanding of the modern Japanese nation.
