The triangular relationship between foreign and security policy, mass media and public opinion has increasingly drawn attention of scholars; Yet few research has been conducted in this regard. This study thus discusses Japanese foreign and security policy making process in the wake of the Gulf Crisis/War in 1990/91, in particular the miscarriage of the United Nations Peace Cooperation Bill. The study examines three issues: what did Japanese mass media consider newsworthy in the wake of the Gulf Crisis? In contrast, what did overseas media report on the matter? How did Japanese media influence public opinion as well as foreign and security policy making? Finally, it aims to identify the interrelationships between foreign and security policy making process, mass media in Japan and overseas and public opinion.
