Features: The Japan Socialist Party is one of the major political parties in post-war Japan and the largest opposition party under the "Fifty-Five System." In the history of post-war Japanese political development, the Japanese Socialist Party played a significant role in the formation and establishment of the "Fifty-Five System," making it an indispensable presence. This book is the first academic monograph in China to focus on the "security policy" of the Japan Socialist Party. It not only provides an in-depth exploration of the party's security policy from multiple perspectives but also demonstrates the author's proficiency in handling sources, strongly supporting the arguments presented. It is expected to advance the study of this issue in academia and offer a relatively fresh research perspective. To some extent, it fills the gaps and shortcomings in the research on the Japan Socialist Party and its security policy within Chinese academia, making it highly valuable academically and practically. Particularly in the post-Cold War international context, reexamining the reasonable elements in the Socialist Party's security policy can contribute to the construction of peace in Japan, Asia, and the world.
