Japan can only be strong if it has the potential for self-defense.

Ideas. For the strength of Japan, although most Japanese agree, is it necessary to strengthen Article 9 at all to amend the Constitution?

One of the politicians who believed the idea was Shinzo Abe, who served his first term as prime minister in 2006 under Shinzo Abe. Japan's self-defense approach significantly modified. Besides throwing in huge defense budgets to claw his nails to the self-defense forces, already in 2015 Abe pushed Congress to pass a law affirming the right of joint self-defense, opening the way for Japan to be able to send its self-defense forces abroad to defend itself or its close allies under attack if Japan's survival is successfully threatened.

Despite heavy opposition from the people who feared that this path might lead Japan into war and destroy the patriotic nationhood they held, Abe did not retreat and move on to push for an even bigger dream: the constitutional amendment of Article 9 to open the way for Japan to have its own army.

After Japan's unconditional surrender to the Allies in World War II, the United States, as the victor of the war, came to rearrange power relations in Japan, limiting the imperial prerogative or withdrawing militarism in Japan by becoming the supreme lawmaker, called the Peaceful Constitution.

The clause at its heart is Article 9 stating that "with a sincere desire to achieve international peace on the basis of justice and order, the people of Japan renounce war as the sovereign right of the country and renounce the threat or use of force as an instrument of eternal settlement of international conflicts; and to achieve this goal, Japan shall not retain its forces, land, sea and air or another potential for war, the State's right to war shall not be recognized."

In Abe's opinion, Article 9 is a disruptor of the potential for self-defense and also a stigmatizing symbol of defeat, war has prevented the national honor from being completely revived, but this effort is not easy.

Shinzo Abe unsuccessfully pushed for Section 9 and expired his 2020 term before he was shot on July 8, 2022, while giving a speech to the LDP in Nara.# FLASHPOINT WORLD HOT SPOTJapanese episode. Peace ideology on the yarn.

... Read moreจากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวและความสนใจในประเด็นภูมิรัฐศาสตร์ พบว่า การผลักดันของชินโซ อาเบะ ในการแก้ไขรัฐธรรมนูญมาตรา 9 ไม่ใช่เรื่องง่ายเลย โดยเฉพาะในสังคมญี่ปุ่นที่ยังคงยึดมั่นในอุดมการณ์สันติภาพและความหวาดกลัวว่าการเสริมศักยภาพทางทหารอาจนำไปสู่ความขัดแย้งและสงคราม ภาพถ่ายอดีตนายกรัฐมนตรีชินโซ อาเบะ ยืนเคียงข้างทหารพร้อมอาวุธสะท้อนถึงความจริงจังและแน่ใจในแนวคิดที่ว่า "ญี่ปุ่นจะเข้มแข็งได้ ก็ต่อเมื่อมีศักยภาพในการป้องกันตนเอง" ซึ่งแสดงให้เห็นถึงความตั้งใจอันแรงกล้าในการผลักดันการเปลี่ยนแปลงครั้งนี้ แม้ว่าการแก้ไขรัฐธรรมนูญจะยังไม่ประสบผลสำเร็จ แต่ความพยายามของอาเบะเป็นตัวสะท้อนให้เห็นว่าประเด็นนี้ยังคงเป็นที่สนใจและสำคัญสำหรับอนาคตของญี่ปุ่น การสร้างสมดุลระหว่างอุดมการณ์สันติภาพกับความมั่นคงทางชาติเป็นเรื่องที่ต้องพิจารณาอย่างละเอียดและละเอียดอ่อน สำหรับผู้ที่สนใจเรื่องการป้องกันประเทศและการเมืองญี่ปุ่น การศึกษาความพยายามและปรัชญาของอาเบะจะช่วยเปิดมุมมองใหม่ๆ เกี่ยวกับการบริหารประเทศในยุคสมัยใหม่ และบทบาทของญี่ปุ่นในเวทีโลกได้อย่างดี
