Japan’s Economic Security Policy and Domestic Politics

Japan which has long recognized over the inseparability of economy and security, is coexisting with the phenomenon of “economicization of security” which tried to supplement it with the economy at a time when security policies in the military sense were minimized, and “securitization of the economy” which is used as an important means in pursuing a balanced strategy to strengthen national security for threatened countries seeking to change the status quo of the international order. Economic and security discussions since the Kishida government, have been developing close to the phenomenon of ‘securitization of the economy’. However, it is confirmed that the tradition of “economicization security” based on the logic of the market and peace is an important checkpoint in the Kishida government’s economic and security policy.
