The year 2013 marks Japan’s ambitious，full-fledging attempt for strategic breakthrough and the “dream of great power”. Because of the forceful push of the Abe administration，Japan’s endeavor of “becoming a normal country” has been driven into the fast track. The design and implementation of Abe’s “dream of great power” have distinctive characteristics. It is based on the right-deviated political philosophy，aiming to expand Japan’s international horizon through the “strategic diplomacy” and trigger dramatic change of Japan’s security policy through the “positive pacifism”. Japan’s security strategy and defense policy in post-war era have undergone major transformation，marked by the introduction of Abe’s “three arrows of security”，as well as the establishment of Japan’s “National Security Counsel”（NSC） and the passing of specific secret protection law which provide institutional and legislative guarantee for Abe’s “three arrows of security”. Japan has become again “a country that can declare war” sixty-eight years after the defeat in the Second World War. In the year 2014，the Abe administration will continue to move towards the objective of Japan’s “normalization” following the right-deviated political way. It is unlikely for Japan to change the ongoing fundamental policy in terms of defying the international community in the historical issue，intensifying effort to implement new security strategy and defense policy and keeping hardline policy towards China. However，it can be foreseen that the ruling environment for the Abe administration will become worse and its “overall normalization” will be faced with more resistance. The prospect of Japan’s economy will be not optimistic. There are contradictions within Abe’s “dream of great power”，and the domestic political backlash caused by its tendency of nationalism，authoritarianism and defecting policy decisions will keep simmering and probably result in the political crisis for the Abe administration.
