芦田外交研究现状述评

A Review of Current Situation of Ashida Diplomacy Study

长期以来,日本及国际学界往往把日美同盟与吉田外交等同起来,而作为日本对美结盟先行者之芦田均及其外交却并未为人重视。迄今为止,尚无一部全面、完整、深入的芦田外交研究专著问世,芦田推行被占领下之情报战、谍报战、心理战、宣传战、舆论战,更是鲜为人知,湮没不彰。芦田开启日本现代外交进程,基本促成二战后初期美国远东政策大逆转、远东重心由中国一变而为日本,同时与昭和天皇主导下执意推行宫廷外交相抗衡、相斗争,芦田外交遂成为日本外交史上一专有名词,对于进一步探析日本新外交、日美同盟起源、国际冷战史,研判当前东亚及全球国际局势发展,尤不失其重要学术研究价值与较大现实警示意义。

For a long time,Japan-US Alliance has been often equated with Yoshida Diplomacy in Japanese and international academic circles.However,as the forerunner of Japan’s alliance with America,Ashida Hitoshi and Ashida Diplomacy have not been paid enough attention to.Up to now,there is no comprehensive,complete and in-depth monograph on the research of Ashida Diplomacy.The implementation of intelligence war,spy war,psychological war,propaganda war and public opinion war under occupation in Ashida is even less known and oblivious.Ashida started the process of Japan’s modern diplomacy,which basically led to the great reversal of American far east policy and the change of American focus in far east from China to Japan after World WarⅡ.Ashida Diplomacy had been a proper noun in Japanese diplomatic history,and was of great academic research value and realistic warning significance for further exploring Japan’s New Diplomacy,the origin of Japan-US Alliance,the history of the international Cold War,and the current development of the international situation in East Asia and the world.
