Abstract

In December 1956, Japan gained membership of the United Nations, marking a significant milestone in Japan's return to international society. In approximately five years since the San Francisco Peace Treaty took effect in April 1952, this had been a difficult diplomatic issue for the Australian government. This article examines how the Australian government dealt with this issue by focusing upon the intersection of Australia's policy towards Japan and Japan's status as a member of the emergent Afro-Asian bloc. This article argues that Japan's engagement with the rest of the bloc was a rising factor in Canberra's consideration of Japan's place in the world, thereby helping revisit the orthodox historiography of Australia–Japan relations during the early Cold War era which often overemphasises rapid growth of bilateral trade.

澳大利亚和日本重返国际社会:谈判盟友与亚非集团,1952-56
1956年12月,日本加入联合国,标志着日本重返国际社会的一个重要里程碑。自1952年4月《旧金山和约》生效以来的大约五年里,这对澳大利亚政府来说一直是一个棘手的外交问题。本文通过关注澳大利亚对日政策与日本作为新兴非洲-亚洲集团成员国的地位的交叉点,探讨了澳大利亚政府是如何处理这一问题的。这篇文章认为,在堪培拉考虑日本在世界上的地位时,日本与欧盟其他国家的接触是一个不断上升的因素,从而有助于重新审视冷战初期澳大利亚-日本关系的正统史学,这种关系往往过于强调双边贸易的快速增长。
