A Study of Cold War Regimes in Western Europe and East Asia

这个研究项目的总体目的是澄清西欧和东亚在区域秩序形成方面的差异的性质。主要研究结果如下：在欧洲，在我们称之为欧盟-北约体制的支持下，安全-经济综合体已经牢固地形成。在这里，安全和经济逻辑相互加强的舒适共存为西欧提供了一个稳定的区域平台。相比之下，在东亚，一个松散地建立在与美国的一系列双边联盟基础上的安全网络，与日益加深的经济相互依存的领土地图并不一致，一个经济上一体化但政治上疏远的中国（例如远藤的作品）就是一个例证。在后冷战时期，人们清楚地认识到现有的安全框架是过时的冷战遗产，但它们仍然存在，甚至焕发出新的活力，从而制约了区域秩序的形成。基于这些发现，我们的研究项目逐渐将重点转移到有助于克服这些冷战起源但仍然存在的限制因素，特别是在东亚。一个方向是探索经济一体化的深度，它在功能上超越并破坏了这种安全框架，从而模糊了区域秩序中的“朋友和敌人”对立（Sasaki & Shimizu）。另一个是检验中国在不构成军事威胁的情况下成为“正常”国家的程度（中村）。另一个是在东亚丰富的历史中寻找当前区域秩序形成的替代方案（Matsuura & Kawashima）。在资助期间（1998-2001年），项目团队组织了许多与所选主题直接相关的联合讲习班和研讨会。一些作品已经作为单独的研讨会论文、期刊文章和书籍章节出现，我们打算在未来两年内将它们转化为一本连贯的书。

The overall purpose of this research project was to clarify the nature of differences between Western Europe and East Asia in regional order formation. The principal findings are as follows.In Europe, the security-economics complex has been firmly formed under the auspices of what we called the EU-NATO Regime. Here, a cosy cohabitation of mutually reinforcing logic of security and economy provided Western Europe with a stable regional platform. In East Asia, by contrast, a security network loosely founded on a series of bilateral alliances with the US does not coincide with the territorial map of deepening economic interdependence, a gap exemplified by an economically integrated but political alienated China (e.g., Endo's work).In the post-Cold War period, the existing security frameworks were clearly recognised as obsolete cold-war legacies, yet have remained and even revitalized so as to constrain the regional order formation.Based on these findings, our research project has gradually shifted focus to the factors that would help overcome these cold war originated but still present constraints, particularly in East Asia. One direction is to explore the depth of economic integration, which functionally transcend and undermine such security frameworks, thus blurring the 'friends and foes' opposition in regional order (Sasaki ＆ Shimizu). Another is to examine the extent to which China has become a 'normal' country without posing military threats (Nakamura). And yet another is to search for the alternatives to the current regional order formation, in the rich history of East Asia (Matsuura ＆ Kawashima).Throughout the grant period (1998-2001), the project team organized numerous joint workshops and seminars directly related to the chosen theme. A number of works already appeared as separate seminar papers, journal articles and book chapters, and we intend to transform them into a coherent book within the next two years.
