| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research analyzes the experiences of male Self-Defense Forces (SDF) officers in the context of the SDF’s changing position in postwar Japan. Via literature review, I explored the processes involved in the acceptance and establishment of the SDF in Japanese society. I then conducted interviews to examine the experiences and identities of current and retired male SDF officers of different generations, from a gender perspective. Furthermore, I surveyed research published in English language journals using the concept of "military masculinity", and discussed the advantages as well as disadvantages of utilizing this concept.
