日本外交政策的传统观点认为，日本一直不愿意阐明其外交政策目标，其外交政策的“愿景”不明确。前首相宫泽喜一曾说，日本的外交政策“排除了一切价值判断”。这是外交政策的幌子。我们唯一能做的价值判断是确定什么符合日本的利益。由于不可能有真实的价值判断，我们什么也不能说.当我们被击中头部时，我们所能做的就是向后拉。我们观察世界局势，跟随潮流。[1]但在本文中，我提出了一个完全不同的观点，即日本在世界上的角色的一个相当清晰的“愿景”现在正在被阐明，基于我所说的“积极的国际主义”，日本国际关系中最突出的问题是如何将这些国际主义的理论转化为具体的外交政策行动。本文首先回顾了战后日本外交政策中“国际主义”的演变，并试图总结出目前正在兴起的“积极国际主义”的基本组成部分。本文考察了最近的两个外交决策案例，以了解这些想法和术语在实际政策执行中是如何被翻译和/或误译的。
The conventional view of Japanese foreign policy has it that Japan has been reluctant to articulate its foreign policy goals and that its foreign policy'vision'is unclear. Former Prime Minister Miyazawa Kiichi once said that Japan's foreign policy'precludes all value judgements. It is a pretence of a foreign policy. The only value judgements we can make are determining what is in Japan's interest. Since there are no real value judgements possible we cannot say anything.... All we can do when we are hit on the head is pull back. We watch the world situation and follow the trends'. 1 But in this paper, I argue a quite different line—that a fairly clear'vision'of Japan's role in the world is now being articulated, based on what I would call'active internationalism', and that the most salient issue in Japan's international relations now is how to translate these internationalist rhetorics into concrete foreign policy actions. This article first reviews the evolution of'internationalism'in Japan's foreign policy in the postwar period and attempts to summarise basic components of a now emerging'active internationalism'. The article examines two recent cases of foreign policy decisions in order to see how these ideas and rhetorics are translated and/or mistranslated in actual policy implementation.
