日本的国家定位与历史反思

Japan's National Orientation and Self-Reflection on the History Issue

日本民主党政权在2011年完成的"以获取政治安全利益、分享经济红利为主题,实施多元化布局并以中美日三边对话为核心机制"的外交安全战略方向,主要受传统安全上大国关系特别是美国亚太战略的影响。这一方向的确立,标志着日本政界主流及民主党内部多数派在外交安全战略上达成为了共识,其纵深处是对日本国家发展的愿景。受制于其在对世界形势特别是对中国的认知上"近视"的精细和"远视"的误判,这一战略并不能使日本实现"正常国家"的定位。日本民族自身的精神哲学、战后美国的东亚政策是阻碍日本进行历史反思的内外部因素,未尽的历史反思给东亚和平留下了不确定因素,日本的"正常国家"定位也因此难以为东亚国家所接受。

Japan's diplomatic and security strategy,mapped out by the ruling Democratic Party of Japan(DPJ) and featured as pursuing political and security interests,sharing world's economic dividends,implementing a multi-layer strategic pattern and building a core mechanism based on the China-US-Japan trilateral dialogue,has been mainly influenced by traditional power-to-power relations,especially by the US' Asia-Pacific strategy.The establishment of such a diplomatic and security strategy symbolizes that Japan's mainstream political circles and DJP's majority have reached consensuses on Japan's diplomatic and security strategy and the prospect of its national development.However,such a strategy will not help Japan realize its 'ordinary state' orientation because of Tokyo's short-sightedness and misjudgment on world's situations,especially on China-related issues.The spiritual psychology of the Japanese nation and the US' East Asian polices in the post-World War II era serve as external factors obstructing Japan's self-reflection on historical issues.Japan's pending historical self-reflection has left uncertainties to East Asian peace and its 'ordinary state' orientation is also difficult to be accepted by other East Asian nations.
