Abstract

Human security is presented in the United Nations Development Programme’s 1994 Human Development Report as a new security concept, different from more conventional ones focusing on the security of the state, and instead focusing on the security of the individual, of humans. At the turn of the century and for about a decade, academic literature has regularly described Japan as promoting human security in different ways. However, little has been published on this during the last decade. The aim of this article is two-fold. First, it takes a long-term perspective to trace the evolution of this concept in Japanese diplomacy over the last three decades, in order to assess its significance over time and as of today. Second, it takes a close look at the actual Japanese narrative in order to understand how this concept can be beneficial for Japan’s diplomacy. This article argues that, first, human security has been and still is a central concept in Japan’s diplomatic discourse and, second, Japan’s promotion of human security leads to a positive Japanese diplomatic identity and an increased self-confidence, which Japan wants because of its desire of recognition. This claim is demonstrated by a quantitative and qualitative analysis of central texts of Japanese diplomacy, narrating human security, over the last three decades. For Japan, emphasizing its own efforts and complying with the international norm of human security has a positive effect on its international identity and recognition.

日本关于人类安全的叙述:国际规范、外交身份和承认

摘要

联合国开发计划署 1994 年人类发展报告中将人类安全作为一种新的安全概念提出,不同于更传统的侧重于国家安全的概念,而是侧重于个人和人类的安全。在世纪之交和大约十年来,学术文献经常将日本描述为以不同方式促进人类安全。然而,在过去的十年里,很少有这方面的文章发表。本文的目的有两个。首先,需要从长远的角度来追溯这一概念在过去 30 年中日本外交中的演变,以评估其在时间和今天的意义。第二,它仔细研究了日本的实际叙述,以了解这个概念如何有利于日本的外交。本文认为,首先,人的安全一直是并且仍然是日本外交话语中的核心概念;其次,日本对人的安全的促进导致了积极的日本外交认同和增强的自信心,这是日本想要的,因为认可的愿望。这一主张通过对过去三年来日本外交中心文本的定量和定性分析得到证明,即人类安全的叙述。对日本而言,强调自身的努力,遵守人类安全的国际准则,对其国际认同和认可具有积极作用。人的安全一直是并且仍然是日本外交话语中的核心概念,其次,日本对人的安全的促进导致了积极的日本外交身份和增强的自信心,这是日本想要的,因为它渴望得到承认。这一主张通过对过去三年来日本外交中心文本的定量和定性分析得到证明,即人类安全的叙述。对日本而言,强调自身的努力,遵守人类安全的国际准则,对其国际认同和认可具有积极作用。人的安全一直是并且仍然是日本外交话语中的核心概念,其次,日本对人的安全的促进导致了积极的日本外交身份和增强的自信心,这是日本想要的,因为它渴望得到承认。这一主张通过对过去三年来日本外交中心文本的定量和定性分析得到证明,即人类安全的叙述。对日本而言,强调自身的努力,遵守人类安全的国际准则,对其国际认同和认可具有积极作用。这一主张通过对过去三年来日本外交中心文本的定量和定性分析得到证明,即人类安全的叙述。对日本而言,强调自身的努力,遵守人类安全的国际准则,对其国际认同和认可具有积极作用。这一主张通过对过去三年来日本外交中心文本的定量和定性分析得到证明,即人类安全的叙述。对日本而言,强调自身的努力,遵守人类安全的国际准则,对其国际认同和认可具有积极作用。
