The Empirical Study on the U.S. Softpower Strategies in Cold War Era

约瑟夫·奈在其2002年出版的《软实力》一书中强调了“软实力”的重要性。本文主要研究冷战时期（包括占领时期）美国对日本的软实力战略。研究发现：美国占领军对日本媒体体制和制度的改革为美国软实力战略的实施创造了有利条件;艾森豪威尔政府在推动“原子能和平利用”运动中充分利用了这一条件，并最终将“和平利用原子能”的理念引入日本。

Joseph Nye stressed the importance of "Soft Power", non-military measures in his Soft Power published in 2002. However, he never taken examples of the Soft Power Strategies that the U.S. had been used against Japan.This study is concerned with the Soft Power Strategies that the U.S. used against Japan during the Cold War Era (including the Occupation Era). The findings of the study are as follows; the reformation of Japanese Media systems and institutions by the U.S. Occupation Army set up favorable conditions for the U.S. Soft Power Strategies; the Eisenhower administration made most of the conditions in promoting "Atoms for Peace" campaign that lead to the introduction of "The Peaceful Use of Atomic Energy" into Japan.
