侵华战争时期日本的东亚“合作”论及其本质

19世纪中叶,日本在美国的压力下被迫放弃锁国政策,向欧美列强敞开了国门,不得不面对空前的民族危机。在对待开国后与西方国家的关系问题上,日本出现了以亚洲“连带”为特征的“兴亚”论,并逐渐演化为扩张日本国权的亚洲主义。这种扩张性的亚洲主义在20世纪三四十年代侵华战争时期衍生出“东亚联盟”“东亚协同体”“大东亚共荣圈”等新的东亚“合作”论。它们从地理、人种、文化和风俗等角度,阐述中日“合作”的意义,要“协同”一致,以实现“共存共荣”。侵华战争时期,东亚“合作”论从民间走向官方、从思想观念化为政府的对外政策,助力日本“建设东亚新秩序”政策,为野蛮的侵略战争披上了“文明”的外衣,是日本实行文化侵略的重要内容。

Integration Level for the Association of Southeast Asian Nations （ASEAN） Economic Community

The time has come for the constitution of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations （ASEAN） economic community and many facts have been analyzed regarding this topic. This paper presents the results of the statistical analysis applied to several economic parameters which firstly show how their integration pattern adjusts with a considerable good fitting to the optimum currency area model and to its extended version by Behrens; and secondly how the 10 members of this group are moving at relatively same speed in spite of their differences, that are also inferred for ranging.

石原莞尔的“东亚联盟论”及其实质探析

在日本发动的全面侵华战争中,石原莞尔的"东亚联盟论"通过与日本政府对华诱降政策相配合,一定程度上影响着当时日本侵华策略的调整。"东亚联盟论"虽带有渐进、策略性,但作为一种隐蔽的侵略思想,比战争狂热分子的直接武力侵华方式更具险恶性。

The Effect of Training Package Development for Secondary School Students in Thailand Toward ASEAN Community

The purposes of this research were： （1） to create a training package to prepare secondary school students in northeastern of Thailand toward ASEAN （Association of Southeast Asian Nations） Community; （2） to compare the knowledge of secondary school students toward ASEAN before and after use training package; and （3） the expectations of the students in the northeast of their own preparation for the ASEAN community. Experimental research was used in this research. The subject was including 2,000 students who were randomly divided into groups of seven provinces. The statistics used in data analysis were percentage, average, standard deviation, and T-test. The research results showed that： （1） a training package to prepare secondary school students in northeastern of Thailand toward ASEAN Community, the effectiveness index （E.I.） was .57, according to the established criteria; （2） a comparison of pretest and post-test results found the use of cognitive training may vary, statistically significant at the .05 level; （3） an expectation of the secondary school students in the preparation of role into ASEAN Community found that the students who participated in a concept reflect that the knowledge and attitudes to prepare themselves for the ASEAN community.

AEIC: Present and Future Program

The establishment of the ASEAN Earthquake Information Center (AEIC) was endorsed by the 40th Meeting of the Committee on Science and Technology held in October 2000, at the request of the ASEAN Sub-Committee on Meteorology and Geophysics (SCMG) to obtain the ASEAN Standing Committee’s (ASC) approval to officially use the name “ASEAN Earthquake Information Center (AEIC)”. As part of AEIC activities, the SCMG implemented a project on the ASEAN Seismic Network for Rapid Exchange of Strong Earthquake Data (ASNET RESED). The project was implemented by the ASCMG with funding support from the Government of Japan through the Japan ASEAN Co-operation Promotion Program (JACPP). The aim of the project is to facilitate the rapid exchange of data and information on earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 5.5 on the Richter scale, and to link all of the ASEAN National Seismological Centers through the Internet to disseminate earthquake information. For the future program, we propose a seismic data exchange between the National Seismological Centers in ASEAN countries as well as world seismological centers using the facilities in the AEIC. The plan is basically to develop and update the software and hardware in the NSC and AEIC for data communication. To refresh our knowledge in seismology and data communication, we arrange the training sessions for both topics.

Decreasing of Grid-Tied PV Power Output due to Thick Haze Phenomena in Malaysia

Recently, thick haze and poisonous smoke have cloaked the surrounding air in Malaysia due to the uncontrollable and unethical burning of nearby country. This devastating episode of open burning started in the year 1997 in Indonesia which deeply affected most of the ASEAN （association of southeast asian nations） countries especially their neighbour Malaysia and Singapore. The PV （photovoltaic） technology as an alternative means of energy generation experiences such significant energy decrease based on this condition which is due to the shading of sunlight. The 6 h claims of good sunlight has become not more than 2 h and gets worst when the API （air pollution index） struck 200 levels which is at very unhealthy condition. This study embraces some findings from 1 kWp PV generator field data installed in Malaysia reflecting the daily energy decrease operated during this unhealthy weather condition. It is found that, such significant energy decrease with the value of 0.43 W power output per increment of one point API. This value shows such concrete proof of additional factors to be considered in PV modelling in line to support PV technology adaptation in the ASEAN region.

In Need of Sincerity

The Japanese foreign minister’s statements are unlikely to improve bilateral ties While visiting Bangkok shortly after his"goodwill"trip to Beijing,Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida called on the 10members of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations(ASEAN)to be united in response to China’s"assertiveness"in the South China Sea,according to a Kyodo News report.

A More Integrated Southeast Asia

The ASEAN Community sets sail amid both expectations and challengesWith the arrival of 2016,the world will see the Association of Southeast Asian Nations（ASEAN）put its community vision into action—creating a stronger community with economic,security and cultural cooperation at its core.

The Sino-US Relations and Alliance Structures in Northeast Asia

This paper addresses the issue of security alliances in Northeast Asia--their origins and current status. It observes some fundamental changes of such alliances in the region with the change of time, and concludes that the present alliances are still hedging against uncertainty. In particular, it elaborates the legitimacy of alliance due to collective defense, rather than cooperative aggressiveness that erodes the credibility of alliance and leads to distrust of nations. The paper raises the Taiwan Question and DPRK issue as key examples to analyze how China and the US have entered a strategically distrustful relationship and how these two issues have been intertwined. It also discusses how to de-link them and build a more stable and secure relationship between China and the US through forward-looking cooperation.
