Structural Changes in East Asian -International Relations in the Post-Cold War Era and the Making of the East Asian Order Interactions of Power, History Frictions and Nationalism-

(1)假设在东亚建立跨国公共空间作为促进历史问题相互理解的框架是必要的，我们得出了关于有利于该地区历史和解的地区认同形成的物质和规范基础的重要发现。(2)我们努力证明，在努力缩小各国人民历史认识上的差距的同时，致力于建立一个对双方都有利的东亚秩序，将对促进历史和解具有更大的建设性。(3)通过对一些非东亚国家的个案研究，我们发现这些发现对东亚地区进一步的历史和解具有借鉴意义。我们还发现，东亚的历史问题不仅对东亚地区，而且对美日关系也有潜在的毒害。

(1) Assuming that building transnational public space in East Asia is necessary as a framework for promoting mutual understanding of the history problem, we have come up with significant findings concerning the material and normative basis for regional identity formation conducive to historical reconciliation in the region.(2) We have tried to demonstrate that working toward an East Asian order benefiting both parties is going to be more constructive in promoting historical reconciliation, while making strenuous efforts to narrow the gap of historical perception among the peoples concerned.(3) Through case studies of some non-East Asian countries, we have discovered the findings useful for further historical reconciliation in East Asia. We have also found that the history problem in East Asia is not only potentially poisonous for this region but also for US-Japan relations as well.
