Japanese Foreign policy with a Dilemma among economic growth and Asian aid

本研究考察了二战后近20年来日本对亚洲外交政策所面临的四大困境；经济国际主义vs地区主义，经济增长vs亚洲援助，亚洲的民族主义和共产主义，亚洲主义vs英美导向。为了完成我们的研究工作，我们不仅发现了大量存放在日本外务省和美国国家档案馆的资料，这些资料以前没有被深入研究过，而且还将我们的发现置于四个困境的每个背景下。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，与东南亚国家的经济合作作为解决或克服日本外务省设计的“开放区域主义”的四个困境的手段，对于日本稳定亚洲的作用仍然非常重要，其目的是支持经济增长和缓和亚洲国家的“激进”民族主义。虽然他的一些结论在某些方面可能是有争议的，但我们研究的总体结果对外交历史学家来说似乎是非常重要的。

This research examines four dilemmas which Japanese foreign policy toward Asia have faced for about 20 years after the WWII ; economic internationalism vs. regionalism, economic growth vs. Asian aid, nationalism and communism in Asia, and Asianism vs. Anglo-American oriented. For our completion of research work, we not only drew to light a significant number of sources deposited in the Foreign Ministry of Japan and the US National Archives that had not previously been considered in depth but also put our findings into each context of four dilemmas. In general, our research findings suggest that the idea of economic cooperation with South east Asian countries as means to solve or overcome four dilemmas, which was designed by Japanese foreign ministry as an 'open-regionalism', continues to be great importance for Japanese role of stabilizing Asia with the aim of supporting the economic growth and of moderating of 'radical' nationalism in Asian countries. Although some of his conclusions may be contestable in some respects, the overall results of our research will appear to be of great importance to diplomatic historians.
