Japanese Missile Defence and its ImplicationsReviewed - Review

Mgr. Adam Strauch, M.A.

The main goal of the presented article is to evaluate the impact of Japanese missile defence development on the regional strategic stability in Northeast Asia. The goal is reached through an analysis of interaction between missile defence and roles of ballistic missiles in Chinese and North Korean strategies towards Japan, while also taking into account the alternative policies which Japan might have used in response to the ballistic missile threat. According to the analysis, the development of the Japanese missile defence does not degrade strategic stability in the discussed region.

Keywords: Grand strategy, missile defence, Japan, PAC-3, Aegis, ballistic missiles, North Korea, DPRK (Democratic People's Republic of Korea), South Korea, ROK (Republic of Korea), PRC (People's Republic of China).
