| Abstract | Civil-military cooperation in Peace Support Operations (PSO) is still a relatively new concept for Japan. The Japan Self-Defence Forces (JSDF)'s cooperation with civilian organisations, particularly non-governmental organisations (NGOs), has just started in a few limited instances in Iraq, Haiti, and South Sudan. The existing civil-military cooperation policy in Japan has impelled the JSDF in its South Sudan mission to design and implement projects that are of their specific and independent (i.e. outside the UN-mandate) civil assistance activities for local communities and to find civilian collaborators, particularly Japanese NGOs. This unique practice may well entail conflicts of interest with other stakeholders, including the local beneficiaries, the UN and NGOs in South Sudan. Tokyo's policy for civil-military cooperation in PSO therefore needs to be redirected. |
