What is it about?
This article tries to show that Japan and the United States has created a non-war community that is the so-called "a security community." The most important feature of a security community is the existence of collective identity. This article challenges to show its existence by using the case of the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991.

Why is it important?
The vast majority of the study of security community has used Euro-American regions. The only exception was Amitav Acharya's ASEAN. This article contributes to expand the inter-regional studies on security community, i.e. transpacific relationship.
Perspectives
