Abstract

In 2014, Prime Minister Abe Shinzo dominated Japanese politics. He successfully hiked the consumption tax in April and decisively won the Lower House Election in November. In an ideological tilt to the right, Abe also shifted Japan away from its post-war pacifism by making a cabinet decision to accept collective security. By paving the way for Japan to exercise military force through the assistance of third parties beyond its US ally, Abe will fundamentally change the role and identity of Japan in the post-Cold War era.
