Against the backdrop of the rise of Chinese military power in the Asia-Pacific region, Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s top priority is to change the interpretation of Article 9 of the Japanese Constitution, which has long been thought to prohibit the exercise of collective self-defense. Apparently, Abe also aims to revise the present pacifist constitution in toto in the near future. The presenters will discuss various aspects of the changing legal landscape of and surrounding Japan.
