Outline of Final Research Achievements

The U.S.-Japan alliance has been hailed as the "cornerstone" of peace in the Pacific. The alliance relationship has been strengthened and institutionalized over the years. However, there is a considerable gap between the two countries in their understandings of concepts such as use of force and the right of collective self-defense. This is problematic: the continuation of the gap may lead to wrong expectations at both diplomatic and operational levels and weaken the alliance in the future.

This research was an attempt to bring together experts from Japan, the United States and Australia to discuss how the two countries can address this gap and seek ways in which the two countries can utilize international law as the common language of diplomacy. With experts from fields of international law and political science, we discussed conceptual issues as well as specific regional concerns and new domains such as cyberspace and outer space.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまで日米安全保障条約の根本的な概念である「武力の行使」と「自衛権」に関する国際的平面と国内的平面の様々な枠組みについて、日米両国がどれほど相互理解を深めているのかを扱った研究はこれまで存在しない。この意味において、日米両国の専門家が集まって正面からこの問題について検討を試み、両国間にどのような共通点と相違点が具体的に存在するのかを明らかにした本研究の意義は大きく、その成果もまた、日米両国の関係実務家を中心に社会に向けて広く発信された。
