SUMMARY
The Multilevel Structure of Victimizers and Victims: Rethinking the Japanese War Experience

HAYASHI, Hirofumi

Professor, Kanto Gakuin University
The second Abe Shinzo's administration initiates the concept of transcending the postwar regime . On thecontrary to the images associated with this concept, his policies which have been necessitated by his politicalcarrier are powerfully directed toward preserving the fundamental structures of postwar Japanese regime.
This regime which I have named permanent defeat regime rests on the denial of Japan's defeat in theSecond World War. This bizarre character of the regime was a byproduct of the policies of the USA toward
postwar Japan. The USA chose conservative ruling class of Japan as rulers of postwar Japan by not examining
their responsibility for the war. In order that the conservative ruling class could preserve their dominance, thefact of defeat in the war had to be obscured as much as possible. This perverse politics was required andenabled by the Cold War structure in which the USA had to nominate Japan as the most important partner inAsia.
As soon as the Cold War structure came to its end, the regime of postwar Japan as a function of global
political structure lost its ground. Nevertheless,the pro-USA conservative powers still continue to occupy thecentral core of the power structure.They are further deepening Japan's character of client state of the USA, andin doing so they wish to be recognized as the sole legitimate ruling power in Japan by the USA. Such efforts
can be observed in the policies regarding TPP or 2015 Japanese military legislation.
