安倍自2012 年12 月第二次執政後，要讓日本成為世界大國的目標十分明確。 首先以經濟政策穩定國內政權，同時巧妙地以新現實主義作為基礎，充分利用「制 衡」與「同盟」兩種戰略，一方面因地緣政治而深受中國、北韓、俄羅斯等國強 大壓力威脅，反而利用這樣的威脅對國內民眾灌輸強國意識，合理提高防衛預算、 改革防衛裝備移轉機制、增兵西南諸島並強化整體軍備實力等實質。 另一方面利用美國畏懼中國取代而成為亞太霸權的心理，以及日美同盟長久 以來奠定的良好聯合作戰架構，讓美軍充分涉入亞洲戰略區域情勢中，這樣的兩 手政策，就是安倍首相朝向「正常國家化」而努力推動修憲的最明顯手法。本研 究就亞太週邊環境對日本造成的威脅，試圖導出安倍防衛政策的背景因素與結構 性變化的關鍵原因，並理解政策的邏輯與內涵，以判斷日本於亞太區域環境中的 行為模式。 / Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has clearly made his intent for Japan to become a big power since his second term starting from December 2012. To attain this goal, he first enforced financial policy in response to domestic economic chaos, meanwhile adopted “Balancing＂ and “Alliance＂strategies in accordance with“neo-realism＂ based onits strategic theory.In one hand, Abe uses the geopolitical threat formed by China, North Korea and Russia to rationalize his policies of raising national defense budget, reforming armament transfer principles, increasing force deployed on Japan＇s southwest islands and strengthen overall defensive capability. On the other hand, he carefully uses the U.S. fear China may replace it as the Asia-Pacific hegemony, and that U.S. needs firm coalition with Japan, keeping U.S. much involved with the power-pursuing game in Asia. This research intends to discover the key factors that results in Abe’s current defense policy and its structural change, while to understand the logic and processes of policy-making process, in order to identify how and what Japan will conduct in the Asia-Pacific area.
