Abstract

This article demonstrates how Tokyo has been exercising economic power in the multilateral talks on North Korea, including over the U.S. The implication is that Japanese foreign and security policy can be regarded as "normal" already---hence forming a critique of ideas of "normalization" that are preconditioned on remilitarization.
