Abstract
This thesis addresses why Japan has increased its security cooperation with Southeast Asian institutions and states. It also explores how Japan has increased cooperation in the region. In this analysis, the author uses data from port visits, exercises, joint statements and security cooperation trends from the 1990s through 2018. This thesis concludes that Japan is increasing its cooperation with ASEAN, the Philippines, and Vietnam because it is trying to protect its sea lines of communication, to garner support to condemn North Korean actions, and to gain a permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council.
