Can Japan Be A “Peace Enabler”? (Yuki Tatsumi, Hana Rudolph, Stimson Center)

Japan now seeks to be an active, permanent member of the U.N. Security Council too, to aid in the decision-making. Seventy years after the end of World War Two and sixty years since Japan’s accession into the U.N., the remarkable post-war development of Japan into a peace-loving nation could not be more evident.
