| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
First, it revealed, through analysis of the security policy plan of Japan and the Japan-US Security Agreements, that the pacifism of the 9th article of the Constitution was perceived as an integral aspect of the collective security of the UN. Second, the analysis of the ideas regarding constitutional amendment during the prewar and postwar periods found that the national polity theory makes it possible to explain that defeat in World War II, acceptance of the Potsdam Declaration, and establishment of the Constitution of Japan were theoretically under the Constitution of the Empire of Japan. Third, the analysis of postwar development of nuclear energy revealed that the Kishi Cabinet’s plan to improve defense capacity was drawn up with the goal of possessing a nuclear capability that would deal with emergent situations denounced by the US-Japan Security Treaty. In sum, this study reveals how sovereignty and human rights emerged and were established in postwar Japanese political history.
