On Monday 16 January, the Meiji University Research Institute for the History of Global Arms Transfer will host a workshop titled, “Japan’s Rush to the Pacific War: Civil-Military Relations, Threat Perception, and the 1936 Withdrawal from the Washington System”.

In this seminar, Dr. Lionel Fatton, Lecturer of International Relations at Webster University Geneva and Research Associate at CERI-Sciences Po Paris, will discuss Japan’s decision to withdraw from the Washington System of naval arms control in 1936. He will first show that in taking this decision the Japanese government overreacted to what was actually a limited American threat. He will then argue that this overreaction was triggered not by the behavior of a warmonger Imperial Japanese Navy, because the latter played properly its role as a defense institution, but by structural flaws in civil-military relations that dated back to the Meiji Restoration era.
