Abstract

Japan began to construct the security strategies towards the 21st century since the end of the cold war. The main points are summed up as follows: the military strategy shows Japan's dangerous tendency to attack because great efforts are made to strengthen the national defense, increase the military spending and change the defense patterns and the strategic ideology. The Japan-America Security Assurances System is consolidated by building and perfecting the legal system and intensifying the military cooperation between the two nations. Japan, on the one hand, attaches great importance to security in its diplomatic activities, which is regarded as an important way to safeguard security in the country, the region,and the world, and on the other hand, wants to resort to America to vie for the leading power of security in Asia-Pacific region. These activities lead to the Right deviation in its domestic politics and the arms race in Asia-Pacific region, which not only causes great worries to the surrounding countries and regions, but also holds up their economic development.
