> The nuclear doctrine of the United States, as elaborated in a variety of
> measures and documents including Obama's general address in Prague in
> 2009,
> the Nuclear Posture Review of 2010 and the New START Treaty of the same
> year, clearly called for a reduction of the role of nuclear weapons and
> were
> seen as a concrete step towards nuclear disarmament. In East Asia,
> however,
> North Korea's detonations of nuclear devices and launches of long range
> missiles in recent years made it clear that they now possess nuclear
> weapons. At the same time, the military expansionism of China in the
> Asia-Pacific region is shaking American hegemony in the region.
> Contemporary
> Japan, within range of PRC and DPRK's ballistic and long-range cruise
> missiles, has seen its relations with China shaken by the Senkaku Islands
> problem, reflected in a rise in military tensions across Asia. In response
> to these problems, voices casting doubts on the effectiveness of the US
> nuclear umbrella and nuclear deterrence strategies are growing stronger in
> both Japan and South Korea. Though still a minority, some people have
> started to argue for nuclear sharing similar to the European NATO model,
> redeployment of US nuclear assets and independent development of nuclear
> capability to improve the reliability of nuclear deterrence. If the US
> were
> to reduce the role of nuclear weapons in its security doctrine, it might
> push Japan and South Korea to pursue independent development of nuclear
> weapons. Prof. Ikegami will examine the apparent paradox between the US
> deterrence doctrine and its pledge for nuclear disarmament in East Asia, a
> region threatened by proliferation of nuclear and conventional weapons.
