245			_aAlternative visions of Japanese security: _bthe role of absolute and relative gains in the making of Japanese security policy
260			_c2005
520			_aIn the post-cold war world Japanese security policy has grasped at nationalistic elements within Japanese society in attempts to "securitize" itself by means of a foreign policy independent of the United States. The role of absolute and relative gains in the making of Japanese foreign and security policy will be examined in light of alternative security issues. Working from "International Security: A New Framework for Analysis" by Barry Buzan, et al., this article will examine Japanese security policy in light of Japan's attempts to securitize itself in non-traditional ways that impact traditional security.
