受到一种公众友好的论点的刺激，这种论点突出了地方身份和全球公民身份的融合，而另一种论点则更加关注全球范围的其他，本研究提请注意日本全球和地方身份之间似乎加剧的竞争，并认为，通过狂热但往往不成功的英语学习，全国范围内对全球化的兴趣不仅导致了越来越多的呼吁，英语教育和多元文化也使我们日本人有了统一的身份认同。因此，在日本的教育和工业环境中，一种日本性的感觉仍然保持着，或者说得到了加强，在这些环境中，英语扮演着至关重要的角色。本研究希望作为一种尝试，批判性地询问全球化赞同国家，日本，从宏观的角度，通过提供关键的见解全球英语，全球化和国家认同之间的互动。
Stimulated by one public-friendly argument that foregrounds the integration of local identity and global citizenry and a second that is more mindful of the global-scale Othering, the present study draws attention to the seemingly intensified rivalry between global and local identities in Japan and argues that the nationwide interest in globalisation through the fervent yet often unsuccessful learning of English has contributed not only to the increasing call for English education and multiculturalism but also to a unified identity as we-Japanese. Thus, a sense of Japaneseness remains sustained, or rather fortified, within Japanese educational and industrial settings, in which English has acquired a crucial role. The present study hopes to serve as one attempt to critically interrogate a globalisation-endorsing state, Japan, from the broad macro perspective, by providing critical insights into the interaction among Global Englishes, globalisation and national identity.
