 note = {application/pdf, This paper will discuss the U.S.-Japan alliance following the end of the Cold War. With the U.S.-Japan alliance first being a consequence of the Cold War, and then serving as the framework for Japanese foreign policy during the Cold War era, the central question this paper will discuss is how the U.S.-Japan alliance has been able to successfully adapt to the post-Cold War era. Events and changes at domestic, regional and global levels have conflicted and interacted with each other, influencing Japanese foreign policy in general, and strengthening the U.S.-Japan alliance specifically. So, how has the alliance been strengthened? This paper will argue that two areas can be identified, namely ; the ability of the LDP (Liberal Democratic Party) to remain the key player in determining the course of Japan's international relations, and the Japanese government's pursuit of a more active role in the international community. The influence of the LDP in domestic politics has dictated that the dominant theme of Japan's foreign policy in the economic, political, and security dimensions beginning in the Cold War era and continuing throughout the post-Cold War and contemporary post-Cold War eras has been its relationship with the United States. And the government' s policy of seeking a more active role in the post-Cold War international community has demanded that Japan begin to seek political influence more in line with its economic power., 国立情報学研究所の「学術雑誌公開支援事業」により電子化されました。},
