Abstract
Japan's increasing military capability has had a significant impact on security stability in the Indo-Pacific region. Previously committed to pacifism under Article 9 of its Constitution, Japan has begun transforming its defense policies due to shifts in regional and global security dynamics. External factors such as threats from North Korea, China's military rise, and geopolitical competition in the South and East China Seas have driven Japan to strengthen its alliance with the United States and expand the role of the Japan Self-Defense Forces. These efforts include revising the U.S.-Japan defense guidelines, increasing the military budget, and participating in joint military exercises with countries like India and Australia.
Japan’s military expansion has triggered responses from regional countries such as China, India, and Australia, which have increased their defense budgets to anticipate shifts in the Indo-Pacific power balance. China, in particular, views Japan’s policy changes as a threat to its interests, especially regarding territorial disputes and maritime security. Meanwhile, India and Australia perceive Japan’s evolving defense stance as an opportunity for closer security cooperation. As regional security dynamics grow more complex, this study highlights how Japan’s enhanced military capability affects Indo-Pacific stability, influencing both regional security and geopolitical balance.
