日本与其邻国之间的紧张关系对日本在中国和美国之间的战略“双重对冲”的可行性构成了重大问题。日本的回应是接受美国对该地区的新承诺，同时在军事、经济和政治领域与日本传统战略利益领域以南的国家建立全面的战略伙伴关系。加强与东南亚国家、印度和澳大利亚的关系对日本来说可能是至关重要的，因为这将使日本能够在不背离其长期培养的海上安全政策的情况下管理其安全事务，并将使日本能够继续奉行新重商主义经济政策，同时支持其他地区参与者的社会经济发展，这对未来的多极平衡至关重要。日本的外交活动与中国形成了有益的“战略对比”，这可能会确保日本在该地区得到接受。日本的战略重心转移在国内也是可持续的，因此值得学术界关注。
Tensions between Japan and its neighbors pose a significant problem for the viability of Japan’s strategic ‘dual hedge’ between China and the United States. Japan’s response has been to embrace renewed US commitment to the region while initiating comprehensive strategic partnerships in military, economic, and political spheres with nations ‘south’ of its traditional domain of strategic interest. Strengthened relationships with Southeast Asian nations, India, and Australia may turn out to be crucial for Japan as it will enable Japan to manage its security affairs without having to depart from its long-cultivated maritime security policy, and will enable Japan to continue to pursue a neo-mercantilist economic policy while also supporting the socioeconomic development of other regional players essential for future multipolar balance. Japan’s diplomatic activities provide a useful ‘strategic contrast’ with China that will likely ensure Japan is accepted in the region. Japan’s strategic pivot is also domestically sustainable and, therefore, deserves scholarly attention.
