Abstract

Abstract:After decades of international cooperative strategies based on soft power through Official Development Assistance (ODA), the environmental, socioeconomic, and political change in the circumpolar North has led Japan to develop and link its Arctic policy with its Oceanic policy. To respond to the rising influence of China in the geopolitical and geoeconomic scene, Japan's maritime policy is based on international peace and stability, freedom of navigation, and the support of the international legal framework. Beyond its regional sphere of interest and influence, the inclusion of the Arctic region in Japan's Oceanic policy is also strongly connected to the influence of think tanks, lobbies, and institutions in Japan's policies, that for decades have encouraged Tokyo to take proactive measures. This policy also illustrates the ambition to present a comprehensive panoramic strategy embracing not only seas and oceans directly surrounding Japan, but worldwide.

日本海洋政策基本规划中的北极：迈向全面自由开放的海洋愿景

摘要：经过几十年以官方发展援助（ODA）软实力为基础的国际合作战略，环极北方的环境、社会经济和政治变化促使日本制定了北极政策，并将其与海洋政策联系起来。为了应对中国在地缘政治和地缘经济领域日益上升的影响力，日本的海洋政策基于国际和平与稳定、航行自由和国际法律框架的支持。除了其区域利益和影响力之外，将北极地区纳入日本海洋政策也与日本政策中智库、游说团体和机构的影响力密切相关，几十年来，这些智库、游说团和机构一直鼓励东京采取积极措施。这项政策还表明了提出一项全面的全景战略的雄心，该战略不仅涵盖日本周边的海洋，而且涵盖全世界。
