区域功能性合作与日本的文化外交——以吴哥古迹保护修复为中心

Regional Functional Cooperation and Japan's Cultural Diplomacy:A Case Study of the Preservation of Angkor

对于吴哥古迹的保护修复是日本在东亚开展功能性合作的重要案例。从区域公共产品的理论视角而言,这一案例体现出明显的"加权汇总"的供给方式。在其具体实践中又具有三个特点:通过知识传授和技术交流加强柬埔寨的自主能力;技术、经验、制度和设备等国内"比较优势"的区域性外化;多元主体的协同互补。因此,吴哥古迹保护修复成为战后日本文化外交和区域合作政策相结合的成功典型,对于日本改善国际形象、增强区域影响力、提升日柬双边关系起到了积极的作用。

The preservation of Angkor is an important case in Japan＇s functional cooperation in East Asia. Fromthe theoretical perspective of regional public goods, this case is a vivid example of the ＂weighted sum＂ in terms ofaggregation technology, which shows three characteristics in practice： to strengthen Cambodia＇s self-capability throughknowledge transfer and technical exchanges; to regionally externalize Japan＇s domestic ＂comparative advantage＂ intechnology, know-how, institutions and apparatus, and to pursue a ＂synergistic effect＂ among multiple actors. Therefore,the conservation of Angkor becomes a successful model of combining Japan＇s postwar cultural diplomacy with itsregional cooperation strategy, which has been playing a positive role for Japan to improve its international image,enhance regional influence, and promote its bilateral relations with Cambodia.
