Evidences for advantageous Analysis Conclusion

26 analysis ３-1 America use Japan skillfully to leave the strong power in Asia “第二次大戦後より長らく、米国は同盟国との二国間安全保障関係（日米・米韓・米豪・米比・米タイなど）の束によって、アジアの安全保障秩序を形成してきた。1951 年のサン フランシスコ条約とともに形成された二国間条約を基盤としていることから、サンフラン シスコ体制、「ハブ・スポークス」体制と呼ばれる所以である。” (神保　アジア太平洋の地域安全保障アーキテクチャと日米同盟　178)

27 analysis America conducted some alliances with many countries so don’t have to depend on Japan however

28 ANALYSIS America does not get along with China この１年、米中の火種は増した。特に中国が南シナ海の岩礁で埋め 立てを進め、港湾や滑走路とみられる施設を造っていることを懸念。 １１、１２日の米中首脳会談では経済や気候変動での成果を演 出したが、オバマ氏、習氏とも「両国には立場の違いがある」と繰り返 した。米中関係は、違いの方がより目立つようになっている。 米調査機関ピュー・リサーチ・センターによると、米国人の中国に対 する印象が「良くない」と答えた人が２０１４年は５５％と半数を 超えた。ここ数年は年々悪化しており、０５年の調査開始以来、最 悪だった。 (朝日新聞 2014) Japan is important to oppose to China

34 analysis ４-1America will never be an enemy of Japan “東南アジア研究所（シンガポール）のマルコム・クック上級研究員は、南シナ海で中国に対抗するため米国が取り得る措置は「非常に限られている」と指摘する。尖閣諸島（沖縄県石垣市）を「日米安全保障条約の適用対象」と明言した東シナ海と違い、米国は南シナ海の領有権問題にはあくまで「中立」の立場だ。” (Sankē shinbun 2011)

35 analysis [article 5] Each Party recognizes that an armed attack against either Party in the territories under the administration of Japan would be dangerous to its own peace and safety and declares that it would act to meet the common danger in accordance with its constitutional provisions and processes. Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall be immediately reported to the Security Council of the United Nations in accordance with the provisions of Article 51 of the Charter. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security.

36 analysis [in Japanese] 第五条 　 各締約国は、日本国の施政の下にある領域における、いずれ か一方に対する武力攻撃が、自国の平和及び安全を危うくす るものであることを認め、自国の憲法上の規定及び手続に 従って共通の危険に対処するように行動することを宣言する。 　前記の武力攻撃及びその結果として執ったすべての措置は、 国際連合憲章第五十一条の規定に従って直ちに国際連合安全 保障理事会に報告しなければならない。その措置は、安全保 障理事会が国際の平和及び安全を回復し及び維持するために 必要な措置を執ったときは、終止しなければならない。 America For America advantageous It is not clear that America would cover Japan sacrificing itself so

37 The nuclear deterrent has no power
analysis ４-2 America protects Japan “核兵器の持つ巨大な破壊力は、軍事的な手段と国家が追及する事実上すべての政治的目的の間に不均等をもたらした。この目的と手段の乖離は、ほとんどの状況で究極の兵器の使用に麻痺状態を生み出した。1945年以来、核兵器は使用されていないため、核兵器が役に立つとみなす考えには限界がある。それは単にあまりにも強力で、あまりにも採算がとれないものなのである。” (ジョセフ・ナイ ～171) The nuclear deterrent has no power But just saying is weak so
