AB - The ODA as a diplomatic policy tool in Japan is more important than the other countries. Nevertheless, the academic interests in Japanese ODA are mainly focused on the commercial character of Japanese ODA. This paper aims to explore the complex nature of Japanese ODA. Specifically, this paper tried to find out how ‘human security’ and ‘peace building’ were discussed as international norms, internalized in Japan, and used in terms of national interest. As a result of the study, it was found that Japan’s ODA is going through a process of preemptively identifying the norms of the international community and internalizing them to conform to its interests. Furthermore, it was utilized for national interests, such as the concentration of ODA in the Indo-Pacific region, transfer of equipment for the Self-Defense Forces to ensure maritime security, and expansion of overseas dispatch of the Self-Defense Forces with ODA. These cases imply that in understanding Japan’s diplomatic strategy in the future, it is necessary to understand it primarily in the international context rather than limiting it to bilateral or regional issues.
