"亲美入亚”与冷战后的日本亚太战略选择

日本传统的亚洲观始终处于"脱亚”或"归亚”双重的困惑之中.随着冷战的终结,它开始向现实的"亲美入亚”战略转换.现实主义的势力均衡论是日美安全保障重新定义的依据;自由的制度论是建立日美经济同盟,实现日美自由贸易协定的框架;亚洲外交中心构图体现了日本充当亚洲盟主的企图."亲美入亚”战略转换,来自日本国内的支持力是保守、革新两党价值目标的趋同.经济主义是这一趋同形成的原因.

"Pro-American and Returning to Asia": Japan's Asian-Pacific Strategic Choice in the Post-Cold-War Era

Japan's Asian outlook was always caught up in a dilemma between a deviation from and a returning to Asia. With the end of the cold war, it is now switched toward a "pro-American and returning to Asia" strategy. A pragmatic strategic equilibrium theory underlies the new definition of the U-Japan defense alliance. The liberal system theory provides a framework for the establishment of the US-Japan economic alliance and free-trade relations. Japan's Asia-centered diplomatic policy betrays its intention to be the leader of this part of the world. This policy is supported by both of Japan's conservative and reform parties, which share the same value orientations aimed at the nation's economic gains.
