On the basis of the historical review, the author further interprets the present and future of Japan as it attempts to restore its military sovereign rights. Existing literatures indicate the US foreign policy in Asia\u2014and more specifically the US demand for the right of collective self-defense at the San Francisco Treaty (1951)\u2014as the origin of Japan\u2019s transition issue into a normal state. But the author finds the origins of the issue in the Korean War and the following armistice regime in East Asia, which coincided with Japan\u2019s interests in army control during the postwar period. This study examines the uniqueness of the Japanese state in the postwar period and explains Japan\u2019s behavior from the fresh angle of the \u201cbase state\u201d concept in an East Asian context. It invites us to rethink about a typical state theory, \u201cwar makes a state\u201d. The author reveals that the security and international relations among the US, South Korea, and Japan were formed through the Korean War, and looks at this alliance-building in the context of the Cold War, which had a complex structure of competition, cooperation, and conflict against USSR-North Korea-PRC connections. This study is also an exemplary demonstration of how to overcome the limits of single-country or specific regional study through the use of a broader perspective like a regional paradigm or a transnational East Asian angle.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8260&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text] Date &amp; Time:\u00a0Thursday, 2 November, 15:00-17:00 Venue: Yang Doo Suk Hall(3F, Kwanjeong), SNU Library Organizers: SNU Library, SNU Asia Center Inquiry:\u00a0Nahyun Lee \/ +82-2-880-2868 \/ julianalee@snu.ac.kr [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_text_separator title=&#8221;About&#8221;][vc_column_text] Shortlisted for IBP 2017 Korean Language Edition [The Birth of a Base-State: Japan&#8217;s Korean War], Kijeong Nam, Seoul National University Press, 2016.
