日本自民党“文教族”与中日第一次教科书事件

“Culture and Education Group”of Liberal Democratic Party of Japan and the First Textbook Event Between China and Japan

1980年代以后,日本自由民主党逐渐培养出了一批熟悉特定政策领域的“族议员”,在决策过程中发挥了重要作用。1982年中日第一次教科书事件爆发后,自民党“文教族”由于保守右翼的政治立场和对所谓“教育主权”的坚持,立场极端强硬;自民党领导层和外交相关议员则认为在教科书问题上应当采取更加灵活的态度。党内双方通过非正式接触和正式会议,最终兼顾双方意见,出台了两年后重新审定教科书、重视与邻国友好的方案,获得了中方谅解。在中日第一次教科书事件的决策过程中,可以看到“族议员”已经占据了中心位置,只有获得其肯定,相关决策才可能推行。

After 1980s,the liberal democratic party of Japan gradually cultivated a batch of“congressmen”who were familiar with specific policy field and they played significant role in the decision-making process.In 1982,the“culture and education group”of the liberal democratic party had an extreme and hard position because of the political stance of conservative right wing and the insisting on the so called“education sovereignty”after the first textbook event between China and Japan broke out in 1982;the leadership of the liberal democratic party and the democratic relevant congressmen thought that a more flexible attitude should be adopted on the problem of textbook.Both sides in the party balanced the opinions of both sides finally through non-official contact and official meetings and launched a friendly scheme to review the textbook and pay attention to the friendly relationship with neighbouring country and were forgiven by the Chinese side.During the decision-making process of the first textbook event between China and Japan,we could see that the congressmen had occupied the central place.Only when the affirmative answer is obtained can relevant decisions can be carried out.
