Outline of Final Research Achievements

The defense cooperation between the United States and Japan, which had been kept intact since the formation of their alliance in 1951, was launched in the latter half of the 1970s and promoted steadily throughout the 1980s. Up to the present date, its depth and scope has been growing for more than three decades. This research sheds light on the question of why and how the U.S.-Japan defense cooperation began and developed from the 1970s to 1980s, based on American and Japanese archival materials. Put another way, this research empirically reveals the origins and early developments of the bilateral defense cooperation which has constituted the core of the Pacific alliance. This research not only unveils an unexamined historical aspect of the U.S.-Japan alliance, but also adds more nuanced insights to theoretical studies of alliances and contributes to the historical studies of the Cold War (especially its ending).
