日本参与联合国维和行动政策评析

Abstract:The new peacekeeping mission of Japan Self-Defense Force（JSDF） marks a new stage of Japan’s policy in its peacekeeping mission，which is driven by new strategic motivations such as breaking the constraint of JSDF in participation in UN peacekeeping operations，promoting Japan’s contribution in its UN diplomacy，reducing the dependence on U.S in the participation of international peacekeeping operations and improving the military capabilities of JSDF. The decision making process of JSDF’s new task is characterized with the rising role of the prime minister’s office in the decision-making mechanism，the strengthening cooperation between politicians and bureaucrats，and the framework of political party with the predominance of the government over the ruling party. However，the suspicion of unconstitutionality in JSDF’s new “escorting” task，the social public opinion relating to the rising risk of JSDF troops and the systematic problems of UN peacekeeping operations pose as constraints for Japan in its participation in UN peacekeeping operations.
