冷战后日本国家角色的转变过程分析——基于角色理论的探讨

An Analysis of Japan's National Role Transformation after the Cold War:Based on the Role Theory

冷战后日本的国家角色经历了由"民生大国"向"正常国家"的转变。在这一过程中,主导东亚政治格局的两个重要双边互动结构——美日和中日,限定了日本所应扮演国家角色的内容,同时也制约了日本的对外行为。面对双重互动结构所形成的中美两国的对日不同角色期望,日本政府分别以角色交替和角色转换的手法来化解自身所承担角色的内在冲突,缓解了东亚地区局势的内在紧张。安倍第二次执政以来,日本政府明显背离了中国对它的角色期望,开始以一个现状改变者的面目出现。这种改变打破了东亚国家间原有的共同期望,加剧了彼此间的不信任感。安倍外交依旧处于"角色试扮演"的阶段,东亚国际政治格局并未像他所设想的那样完成角色的重新分配。日本最终只能回到安倍执政之前所确定的国家角色中去。

After the cold war, Japan＇ s national role has experienced a shift from a ＂civilian power＂ to a ＂normal state＂ . In this process, two important bilateral structures of interaction dominating East Asian politics, U. S-Japan relations and Sino -Japanese relations, determine the role Japan should play and the formation of its behavior. Faced with different role expectations from China and U. S. in the context of the two structure of interaction, the Japanese government has attempted to resolve the internal conflicts in taking its role through role alternation and role transformation, in order to maintain the regional stability in East Asia, Under the second Abe administration since 2012, the Japanese government obviously has deviated from China＇s role expectation and attempted to change the current situation, which has done damage to the common expectation of East Asian countries and contributed to a rise of distrust between each other. The ＂Abe diplomacy＂ is still at an initial stage of role taking and fails to change the international political pattern in East Asia as it has planned. Eventually, Japan has to be back to take the role as it did before the time of the second Abe administration.
