These events have called into question the assumptions and limits of Japan's war renouncing constitution. Within hours of the 9-11 attacks Japan began making important policy innovations that suggested to many analysts a new readiness to support and participate in the use of force overseas, even to the extent of fighting hand-in-hand with US forces in conflicts far from Japanese shores. The authors consider these questions by examining an understudied variable, public opinion. |
