It is with great pleasure that I present a new publication issued by Poland Japan Foundation: Guns, Debt and Aging: Japan’s Security Strategy under Fiscal Constraint by Prof. Boštjan Bertalanič. This study, published shortly after the LDP’s major victory in the recent elections in Japan, analyzes the historic expansion of Japan’s defense capabilities under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi at a time when the country is grappling with record public debt, rapid demographic decline, labor shortages, and a weak yen. The publication makes a significant contribution to ongoing discussions on security, political economy, and demographic transformations.
