Japan, the "War on Terrorism", and the Political Economy of Security
Overview The administration of George W. Bush (and particularly the Department of Defense) has labeled this agenda a "war on terrorism", and prosecuted it by a variety of means. Military power has clearly come to the fore in the U.S. policy response, as witnessed in successive pre-emptive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, counter-insurgency operations in the Horn of Africa and the Philippines, and the re-initiation of support for the Indonesian government's tackling of terrorism. The Bush administration has similarly indicated its willingness to confront by military means, if necessary, North Korea's nuclear weapons programme.
