Abstract
The foreign and security policies of post-World War II Japan are governed by three key legal instruments, namely, the Constitution of Japan, the Japan-United States Security Treaty, and the Charter of the United Nations. This chapter analyzes the background thinking and practice behind Japan's persistent stance of non-use of the tuse of forcet option. It is true that Japan's commitment to the Peace Constitution continues to be the foundation of its overall national policies and the alliance with the United States continues to be considered the cornerstone of its foreign and security policies. Looking from the 'normal country' perspective, Japan, including the Self-Defense Forces (SDFs), has normalized to a significant degree. Keywords:Japan's foreign and security policy; Peace Constitution; post-World War II; self-defense forces (SDFs); United Nations; use of force
