除了物质力量，国家和人民也表现出了对地位的兴趣，声称并证明了他们表面上在某种公认的等级制度上(或接近顶端)的正当地位。由于地位信号在全球政治中如此普遍，甚至无处不在，很难说地位对日本特别重要。但这似乎对日本尤其重要，因为在关于日本作为潜在全球领导者的地位的社会辩论中，有一些特定的主题和主题惊人地始终如一，更不用说广泛可利用和无休止的了。这一章追溯了关于地位的争论，并认为叙事对于理解地位声明是如何运作的以及它们为什么重要是必不可少的。然后，它设定了三个高度紧张的情节--所有这些都涉及关于日本国际地位的争论--背景是人们普遍认为的关于日本的战后叙事。
Beyond material power, states and people have shown themselves to be also interested in status, claiming and demonstrating their ostensibly rightful place atop (or near the top of) some kind of acknowledged hierarchy. Because status signaling is so pervasive, even ubiquitous, in global politics, it would be difficult to say that status matters especially to Japan. But it does seem to matter particularly to Japan, in the sense that there are particular motifs and themes that have been astonishingly consistent, not to mention widely exploitable and open-ended, in Japanese social debates about the country’s place as a potential global leader. This chapter traces debates about status, and argues that narrative is essential to understanding how status claims work and why they matter. It then sets three highly charged episodes—all of them involving arguments about Japan’s international position—against the backdrop of a widely shared postwar narrative about Japan.
