日本对北冰洋的战略关注及行动

Japanese Strategic Focus and Action in the Arctic

近年来,日本对北冰洋的战略关注不断升温,并积极行动参与北冰洋地区事务。日本对北冰洋的关注和参与,既有各国日益关注北冰洋问题的国际背景,也受到日本自身国策及海洋战略的驱动。日本对北冰洋战略价值的认识是多方面的,包括地缘政治与安全、资源与能源、航路与贸易、气候与环境、国际影响力等。日本主动提升北冰洋在国家战略中的地位,强化政策制定和执行机制,积极参与国际科研合作,介入油气开发和航路开拓,策动"北冰洋外交"以增强国际影响力,从而融入北冰洋开发的利益分享和规则建构过程,维护和争取国家利益。

Japan has recently strengthened its strategic foucs on the Arctic and played an active role in the Arctic affairs,which is partly due to the increasing attention of the international community to issues related to the Arctic,and partly driven by Japan's national strategy and maritime strategy.Japan's perception of the strategic value of the Arctic is multidimensional,including geopolitics and security,resource and energy,trade route,environment and international influence.With the aim of ensuring its national interest,Japan attempts to take part in the interest sharing and rule making process in the Arctic,by raising its priority in national strategy,promoting policy-making mechanism,participating in international scientific cooperation,investing in energy and trade route exploration,and implementing the“Arctic diplomacy”in order to extend its political influence.
