【Sean Mirski | Asia】Japan’s Constitutional Reinterpretation: A Tug of War between Strategy and Memory 詳見: glocal.org.hk/articles/40567 On July 1, 2014, Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe and his Cabinet engagedin a dramatic constitutional reinterpretation. Traditionally, Japan’s constitution had been read as imposing pacifism on the country: Japan could not engage in military force except in absolute self-defense. But under Abe’s new reading, the constitution would grant Japan the right to engage in collective self-defense—in other words, to come to the aid of allied forces under attack even if Japan itself is not targeted. #SeanMirski #Japan
