Resumo

Este artigo propõe demonstrar que o Japão aplicou ao longo do tempo ajustes graduais de
crescimento das suas capacidades militares para recuperar autonomia em sua própria defesa.
Com este processo de “ajustes”, sem reformas constitucionais, Japão detém atualmente
capacidades militares similares às das principais potências mundiais em termos de orçamento,
recursos materiais tecnologicamente avançados, contingentes humanos e domina todos os ciclos para produção da arma nuclear. Em um cenário regional instável, com a emergência
de riscos à sua segurança estratégica e econômica e com aumento da possibilidade de ser
abandonado pelos Estados Unidos, o que falta para o Japão assumir sua autonomia em defesa
e atuar em ações de segurança coletiva? O texto avalia, na primeira parte, alguns conceitos
que apontam as contradições, paradoxos e fundamentos que embasam a construção da
identidade de segurança do Japão. E, na segunda, concentra-se na análise da tendência de
revisão ou de reinterpretação da Constituição Japonesa no que tange ter Forças Armadas
como instrumentos de Política Externa.
