摘要

我们研究了议会民主国家的领导人如何试图通过大众媒体引发“国旗周围的集会”效应。我们收集了2009年至2018年日本和以色列自由派和保守派报纸发表的关于朝鲜和伊朗的新闻文章,并采用半监督定量文本分析技术,从对威胁的重视程度进行了分析。我们发现,日本和以色列保守派报纸在重大政治事件(日本《国家安全法》的颁布和以色列2014年大选)之前都过度强调核威胁。我们认为,缺乏机会或能力的国家的领导人往往试图通过大众媒体操纵感知到的威胁,称这种行为是在转移注意力。我们通过以下因素来解释日本和以色列案件之间的相似性。首先,前几年成功的经济改革所带来的政治收益正在减少;第二,立法机构中的反对或选举中的竞争日益加剧;第三,各国缺乏单方面解决安全问题的能力;最后,与美国的外交和军事关系。

Discursive diversion: Manipulation of nuclear threats by the conservative leaders in Japan and Israel
We study how leaders of parliamentary democracies attempt to trigger the “rally-around-the-flag” effect through the mass media. We have collected news articles on North Korea and Iran published by liberal and conservative newspapers in Japan and Israel from 2009 to 2018 and analysed them in terms of their emphasis on threats, employing semi-supervised quantitative text analysis techniques. We find that both Japanese and Israeli conservative newspapers overemphasised nuclear threats before important political events (enactment of Japan's National Security Laws and Israel's 2014 General Election). We argue that leaders of countries that lack opportunities or capabilities often attempt to manipulate perceived threats through the mass media, calling such actions discursive diversion. We explain the similarity between the Japanese and Israeli cases by the following factors. Firstly, the diminishing political gains from the successful economic reforms in the earlier years; Secondly, the increasing opposition in the legislature or competition in the elections; Thirdly, the lack of the countries’ ability to solve the security issues unilaterally; Finally, the diplomatic and military relationship with the United States.
