| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In late 2010, the Japanese government issued a new defence policy. Central to it was a maritime conception of Japan's security. As an island nation, its naval posture has long been important. Today, sea communications and unhindered access to international markets and resources remain the drivers of its strategy of maritime deterrence-one strikingly similar to nineteenth-century Britain. |
