Opis

In 2004, Japan instituted a system to protect citizens against military attacks and terrorism for the first time after World War II. Faced with the changing security environment in East Asia, the Japanese government was forced to implement the most extensive reform of its domestic crisis management ("Kiki-Kanri") system in the postwar era.
