Changing India-Japan Relations in the Post-Cold War Era
The end of the Cold War has not only brought about changes at the global level, but has also influenced regional and bilateral relations in a significant way. In Asia, India and Japan are the two important countries affected by such change. Consequently their relations underwent significant changes during the last decade. Whereas Japan made a major shift in its foreign policy from “commercial liberalism” to “reluctant realism”, India through its “look east” policy and structural reforms has made new orientations in its policy.’
Prospects for security cooperation between India and Japan
Abstract With the end of the Cold War, the strategic divide between India and Japan is also over. For the first time in the past five decades there is a convergence of interests between the two countries. Japan is gradually shedding post‐World War II constraints and engaging in a more activist foreign policy. India must take into account this changing reality. India is expanding its security perimeter to include the wider Asia‐Pacific region, hence, the importance of political and strategic interaction between India and Japan becomes evident. A constructive engagement from both sides within this paradigm is what will provide the basis for future India‐Japan relations. Cooperation between India and Japan can be visualised at three levels—global, regional and bilateral. At the global level, both countries have a stake in maintaining international peace and security. Both want comprehensive reforms in the United Nations (UN) linked also to the issue of UN peace‐keeping operations. At the regional level, given the complex security environment, India and Japan both have a stake in maintaining peace and stability in Asia. A convergence of interests lies in the maintenance of a stable maritime order as well as the issue of energy security. At the bilateral level, these two Asian nations with no past record of any significant clash of interests can work in a productive manner towards greater India‐Japan cooperation.
