Japan's Quest for Comprehensive Security

This book examines the key elements which together comprise a viable national security policy. The emergence of the concept of ''comprehensive security'' in Japanese national security policy led to the creation of a Ministerial Council on Comprehensive Security. This body was expected to provide the impetus for a more co-ordinated, comprehensive and rational approach to Japan''s security needs than was evident in the past.
