Is Japan abandoning its pacifism? The Japanese government has claimed it is doubling its defense spending and has announced a plan to equip itself with the capability to “counterattack” enemy bases overseas, a departure from the nation’s postwar consensus. Shedding new light on Japan’s pacifism and Hiroshima’s role in it, Yuasa investigates the events of postwar Japan and how it catalyzed a range of challenges to public sentiment.
Professor Yuasa Masae is a sociologist teaching in the Faculty of International Studies at Hiroshima City University, Japan. Among her latest publication there is "Challenging Nuclear Pacifism in Japan Hiroshima's Anti-nuclear Social Movements“ (Routledge, 2024).
