Since Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's re-election for his second term (2012-2017), the security environment surrounding Japan has become increasingly harsh, especially in Northeast Asia – a region still plagued by unresolved hotspots such as the Korean Peninsula's nuclear program and territorial disputes. With the desire to return to being a "normal" nation and, moreover, to regain its position as a world power, Japan must first have a strong regional standing and influence over its neighbors. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe implemented a series of changes in foreign policy and security strategy with countries in Northeast Asia. This thesis presents the content and implementation of Japan's security strategies under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's second term in Northeast Asia. The thesis specifically analyzes these strategies through the bilateral relationship between Japan and countries in Northeast Asia. Based on the above issues, this thesis analyzes the impacts of Japan's security strategy under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's second term on the security environment in Northeast Asia. The aim is to provide recommendations for Vietnam on leveraging the advantages of security and defense cooperation with Japan, while also forecasting future trends in Japan's security strategy towards Vietnam. The thesis also offers some recommendations for Vietnam regarding the thinking, development, and implementation of security and defense cooperation with Japan in the future.
