Japan and Ballistic Missile Defense by Michael Swaine

Spurred by a perceived growing ballisic missile threat from within the Asia-Pacific region and requests from the U.S. to support research and development on components of a missile defense system, the Japanese government decided in late 1998 and early 99 to move forward with joint research and development with the U.S. on ballistic missile defense. This book explores both the benefits and potential problems of deploying a BMD system in Japan.

Michael D. Swaine works with the Carnegie Endowment's Asia Program as a senior associate. Swaine is one of the most notable U.S. experts on regional security strategy, having written more than ten monographs on the subject. Analysts specializing in Chinese security and US-China relations.
