Abstract

<p>The DPJ [Democratic Party of Japan] Government has a reputation of its security policy as a disaster. On the one hand, the government attempted several International Peace Cooperation [IPC] efforts. For example, the government decided to dispatch the Japan Self-Defense Forces [JSDF] troops to two UNPKO missions, MINUSTAH and UNMISS, and started a military training around South East Asia. Moreover, the first overseas base of JSDF was established in the Republic of Djibouti.</p><p>  Despite these promotion of IPC activities during in power, DPJ strongly criticized the challenges by Liberal Democratic Party [LDP] towards strengthening Japan’s IPC under the concept of “Proactive Contribution to Peace” after December 2011. As a result, the significance of DPJ government in the IPC policy has rarely been analyzed.</p><p>  This article reconsiders the role of DPJ government in the history of IPC by focusing on the difference and the similarity in IPC policy between the DPJ government and the following LDP one.</p><p>  It analyzes that the DPJ government developed the basis for the challenges under the concept of “Proactive Contribution to Peace”. It also concludes the fundamental difference between those two parties’ IPC policy is a matter of Japan-US relations rather than IPC itself.</p>
