| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The US-Japan relationship within the nuclear non-proliferation regime has been developed with tensions and harmonization of policy priorities. The awkward co-existence of non-proliferation and peaceful use values within the NPT system provide an underlying rhetoric of conflict between the United States and Japan. In the meantime, there is a trilateral interlocking mechanism among technological choice and diffusion, politics over a regulatory scheme, and the dynamics of market. The shaping of a regulatory scheme is heavily influenced by technological paradigm, which the market chose. But the market could be shaped by a strong competitor which holds dominant technology. But as the United States declines in the market, it would seek partnership with like-minded countries in order to maintain its influence in regulatory politics. That is a structural account of how the two countries established a strong partnership in non-proliferation despite of such divergence over fuel cycle policy.
