新世纪日美同盟框架下日本对阿富汗外交政策述评

A Review of Japan’s Policy towards Afghanistan within the Framework of Japan-U.S.Alliance in the New Century

九一一事件后,为了支持美国领导的“全球反恐战争”,日本积极介入阿富汗事务。在此过程中,日本政治精英对国家角色定位的差异成为影响日本对阿富汗外交政策变化的关键变量。基于不同执政党和领导人对国家角色的定位,日本对阿富汗外交政策先后经历了对阿军事和经济的积极介入、大规模经济援助以及缩减经济援助力度三个阶段。尽管日本积极参与阿富汗事务的姿态赢得了盟友美国的好评,但其援助政策效果有限,并不能真正促进阿富汗的“国家重建”,同时自卫队海外派兵的常态化引发邻国担忧。

After the outbreak of 9-11 incident,Japan actively intervened in Afghanistan to support the US-led“global war on terror”.In that process,the difference of views relating its national role among Japanese political elite groups have become a key variable affecting the change of Japan’s foreign policy towards Afghanistan.Based on the national role orientation of different ruling parties and leaders,Japan’s foreign policy towards Afghanistan has experienced three stages,namely active military and economic intervention,large-scale economic aid and reduction of economic aid.Although Japan’s active participation in Afghanistan has won praise from the U.S.,its aid policy has limited effect and cannot really promote the national reconstruction of Afghanistan.Meanwhile,the regular dispatch of Japan’s troop(SDF)overseas has also caused concern among its neighboring countries.
