Sheila Smith: Japan Rearmed
Japan’s U.S.–imposed postwar constitution renounced the use of offensive military force, but a nuclear North Korea and an increasingly assertive China have the Japanese rethinking that commitment, and their reliance on United States security.
Sheila A. Smith, senior fellow for Japan studies at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), is an expert on Japanese politics and foreign policy. She is the author of Japan Rearmed: The Politics of Military Power (Harvard University Press, 2019).
