The three characteristics that helped define Japan’s reconstruction development plan post WWII are the following: achieving structural power, preserving national tranquility, and maintaining Japan’s economic competitiveness. The Yoshida Doctrine, the previous doctrine that aimed to boost Japan’s economic development while keeping security commitments low, was losing support and so Japan turned to a new grand strategy named the Koizumi Doctrine. The Koizumi Doctrine was a strategy to resolve the drawbacks of the Yoshida Doctrine and to foresee the future of Japan’s development. In achieving the structural power that Japan seeks to attain, Japan needs to increase its personnel obligations to international organizations by being actively visible in international affairs. In terms of preserving national tranquility, Japan needs to find that to ensure national tranquility, they must place importance to a social and political conscious of change and reform. Furthermore, to have national tranquility, Japan must be open and welcoming to immigration and other issues of diversity for the benefit of the country. Lastly, in maintaining Japan’s economic competitiveness, Japan must make a clear hierarchal distinction between Japan and its neighboring countries by controlling the technological and industrial production. Joint support between university and industry researchers has benefited the educational system of Japan, which then strengthened the professional job occupations in the country.
