Japan’s Peacekeeping at a Crossroads: Taking a Robust Stance or Remaining Hesitant? de Hiromi Nagata Fujishige

Japan’s Peacekeeping at a Crossroads: Taking a Robust Stance or Remaining Hesitant?: Sustainable Development Goals Series

Autor Hiromi Nagata Fujishige, Yuji Uesugi, Tomoaki Honda
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 13 ian 2022
This open access book examines why Japan discontinued its quarter-century history of troop contribution to UN Peacekeeping Operations (1992–2017). Japan had deployed its troops as UN peacekeepers since 1992, albeit under a constitutional limit on weapons use. Japan’s peacekeepers began to focus on engineering work as its strength, while also trying to relax the constraints on weapons use, although to a minimal extent. In 2017, however, Japan suddenly withdrew its engineering corps from South Sudan, and has contributed no troops since then. Why? The book argues that Japan could not match the increasing “robustness” of recent peacekeeping operations and has begun to seek a new direction, such as capacity-building support.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

"This carefully researched book offers fascinating insights into three puzzles: why Japanese governments expanded their contributions to UN peacekeeping since the early 1990s; why Tokyo withdrew its military engineers from South Sudan in 2017; and what this means for future (limited) Japanese engagement in UN and other peace operations." — Stephen Baranyi, University of Ottawa, Canada 
“This book is the most comprehensive review to date of Japan’s post-Cold War peacekeeping history.  It should be essential reading for everyone who wants to understand Japan’s contribution to UN peacekeeping.”
— Cedric de Coning, Norwegian Institute of International Affairs, Norway “This book is a timely examination of the trajectory of Japanese contributions in this area of global security. The volume analyses Japan’s changing international strategic and domestic motivations to engage in peacekeeping. It takes a fresh and critical approach and fills an important gap in the extant literature.”
— Christopher W. Hughes, University of Warwick, UK
