2014年,在美国延续“亚太再平衡”政策,以及日本致力推动“正常国家化”与“军事大国化”的背景下,日美同盟内部密切协调,战略合作与矛盾摩擦并存。日美以应对中国为“问题意识”,致力于“改造与强化”同盟关系,重点在安全领域加强战略合作,日本作为美国的“地区战略支点”的作用与能力得到增强。在地区事务方面,日美也试图联合介入,扩大同盟网络,进行协作。但在日本的独立性和战略主体意识显著增长的背景下,日本在地区事务处理方面的若干思维和行动,与美国的利益产生了明显的摩擦与矛盾,为美国的同盟管理带来了“难题”,为同盟中长期的发展增加了不确定性。
<<In 2014,in the context of U.S. strategy of rebalancing in Asia-Pacific region and Japanese drive for the “national normalization” and “the rise as a military power”,there has been frequent interaction and close coordination between Japan and U.S.,with the mixture of strategic cooperation and contradiction. On one hand,Japan and U.S. work jointly to “reconstruct and strengthen the building of Japan-U.S alliance” and intervene in the regional affairs,with the issue of coping with China as the “problem consciousness” and the security cooperation as the key of general strategic coordination. One the other hand,with the growing sense of independence and assertiveness in the framework of the alliance,Japan takes a series of action concerning diplomacy with neighboring countries,participation with international affairs and policy toward China,which has contradicted with U.S. national interest and strategy,giving problems to Japan-U.S. alliance management and bring up uncertainty to the long-term development of the alliance.
