松下政经塾在当代日本政治中的地位与影响

The Position and Influence of the Matsushita Institute of Government and Management in Contemporary Japanese Politics

2019年日本进入"令和时代",社会政治生活呈现令人眼花缭乱的变局。曾经在21世纪初期如火如荼的松下政经塾也迎来了建立40周年纪念。在经历了大批毕业生或问鼎首相、或居重臣高位、或执掌地方政权的鼎盛期,又随着民主党下台进入相对消沉的衰落期之后,今天的松下政经塾能否通过变革重新振兴?当松下政经塾出身这个"闪光灯头衔"不再耀眼,松下政经塾的毕业生如何继续在日本政坛上实现自己的理想?带着这些疑问,我们剖析松下政经塾的现状与走势,进而回答它在当代日本政治生活中的地位与影响。

A variety of changes have taken place in Japanese politics since the country entered the "Reiwa" era at May 1st 2019.In this key time, the Matsushita Institute of Government and Management, known as the cradle for young Japanese politicians, celebrated its 40th anniversary .The Matsushita Institute enjoyed its golden age in the early 21st century when its graduates served as prime minister, cabinet members and congressmen in Japanese government. However, after the fall from power of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), the prestige of Matsushita institute cannot compare to its former peak. Could the Matsushita Institute reinvent itself through transformations under current situation. Furthermore, how could graduates from Matsushita Institute achieve their dreams and have a strong impact on Japanese politics while the Institute experiences a drop in its prestige.Urged by these questions, I have made a systemic analysis on the status quo and prospect of the Matsushita Institute and tried to summarize the status and influence of the Matsushita Institute to contemporary Japanese politics.
