从人质危机看日本的中东外交:能源安全与反恐政策的两难

A Glimpse of Japan's Middle East diplomacy Via the Hostage Crisis:A Dilemma in Energy Security and Counter-Terrorism Policy

2015年新年伊始,取得议会选举胜利后再次出任内阁首相的安倍,雄心勃勃地试图在内政外交、政治经济各方面都大显身手,以最终建立长期政权,因而将"俯瞰地球仪外交"扩展到了中东,但却遭逢巨大的外交危机。2名日本人质被"伊斯兰国"(IS)1抓获,安倍内阁应对无方,致使人质遇害,暴露了日本的中东外交无法走出能源安全和反恐政策难以兼顾的两难困境。随着俄罗斯军事介入叙利亚,美俄在中东的地缘战略竞争加剧。日本政府将如何应对不能不引人注目,中东很可能成为日本首先实施新安保法制、派出自卫队介入海外武装冲突的地区。

At the beginning of 2015, Japan suffered a major crisis in the Middle East diplomacy. Two Japanese were abducted and killed by the ISIS. Mr. Abe＇s crisis measures indicate its Middle East diplomacy will face a major transformation, but still can＇t walk out of plight between energy security and counter-terrorism policy. As Russia waded into the anti-terrorist campaign in the Middle East, whether the Japanese government will send self-defense forces in the name of maintaining energy security and counter-terrorism is an issue worth attention.
