Summary/Abstract

This paper considers whether an alliance can have a reassurance effect on a third-party. It uses hypotheses derived from balance-of-malevolence theory. Using the revised 1997 US-Japan Defence guidelines as a primary case, Chinese reactions are found to provide greater support for balance-of malevolence theory. Side evidence from Japan's decision in the early 1990s to begin deploying troops overseas to participate in humanitarian and UN peacekeeping operations, and its dispatch of naval ships to the Indian ocean in the wake of 9-11, confirm the centrality of Chinese concerns about Japan' disposition as amilitary power and the reassurance value of the US alliance and 'containment frameworks' such as UN peacekeeping. This also suggests that the demonstrarion effect of benign overseas deployments ca be effective in overcoming negative attributions about a state's disposition as a military power.

Summary/Abstract

This paper attempts to analyze Japan's concilitation with the United States regarding national targets on greenhouse gas emissions in the multilateral climate change negotiation (1990-2001) for the United Nations framework convention on climate change and for the Kyoto Protocol to the convention. Japan's conciliatory proposals had nothing to do with the bilateral pressure from the United States. Why, then did Japan make special efforts to conciliate with the United States, and offer lenient propsals? I focus on the three factors: concern for the International status, the costs of the climate change regime and domestic politics. My main argument is that the Japanese Ministry of tthe International Trade and Industry used 'concilitation' with the United States in its favour as an excuse for making propsals that would emasculate the climate change regim and as a means of receiving support from the United States for differentiation of national targets on greenhouse gas emissions.
