"Sejak kekalahan Jepang dalam Perang Dunia II, Jepang berada di bawah kependudukan Sekutu selama 7 tahun, yaitu 1945-1952. Dalam Konstitusi Jepang yang diberlakukan sejak pada tahun 1947, terdapat pasal (pasal 9) yang memuat larangan bagi Jepang untuk memiliki militer. Namun, kondisi Jepang yang rentan terhadap ancaman negara lain, seperti RRC, Rusia dan Korea Utara membuat Jepang membutuhkan perlindungan dari Amerika. Di sisi lain Amerika melihat Jepang sebagai garis depan dalam menghadapi pengaruh komunisme di Asia pada masa Perang Dingin. Oleh karena itu Amerika merasa perlu membangun pangkalan militer di Jepang. Setengah beberapa dekade ketergantungan dan kehadiran Militer Amerika Serikat di Jepang menjadi perdebatan dalam masyarakat Jepang. Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana pro kontra terkait keberadaan militer AS di Jepang dan factor penyebabnya. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif melalui wawancara terstruktur terhadap berbagai narasumber yang berdomisili di wilayah Jepang dengan kerangka teori dari Foucault tentang kekuasaan dan Barry Buzan tentang pertahanan negara.Hasil dari penelitian ini menemukan bahwa di satu sisi, Jepang masih membutuhkan militer Amerika Serikat, namun di sisi lain keberadaan militer Amerika Serikat menimbulkan beberapa masalah bagi Jepang. Keberadaan militer Amerika di Jepang diperlukan terutama dikaitkan dengan perkembangan kondisi geopolitik di kawasan Asia Timur pada tahun 2022. Antara lain memanasnya hubungan RRC-Taiwan pada bulan Juli 2022, kembalinya uji coba rudal balistik Korea Utara diatas wilayah Jepang pada Oktober 2022, dan tegangnya hubungan Jepang-Rusia sebagai imbas dari invasi Ukraina pada Februari 2022. Di sisi lain, masalah yang timbul di daerah sekitar markas AS (terutama kepulauan Okinawa) seperti tindakan kriminal para personil militer AS dan polusi yang ditimbulkan membuat keberadaan militer Amerika Serikat menimbulkan permasalahan bagi Jepang. Apalagi pemerintah Jepang juga harus membayar ‘Anggaran Simpati’ untuk memelihara pasukan AS di wilayahnya. Hal itu merupakan beban bagi pemerintah Jepang.
