摘要

Japan attained great military power in around 2015 to aim at hegemony in the era of global capitalism. The most important fact is that Japan could deploy four helicopter carriers with a fleet each and make military operations independently in the whole of East Asia. Its formation has been backed up by increased yearly defense spending over the last 30 years. The existence of this military power cannot necessarily be explained from the requirements of the global capitals since they have lost their integral relationship with the originated nation. Rather, it is explained by relative independency of state activity, in particular super-power nationalism and hegemonism. These are the major driving force and the main promoter of military power, but do not have support these days from the majority of people.
