本文目的在於,針對日韓兩國間儘管仍有種種未解決的問題,然而為何雙邊關係卻自2022年快速改善的原因,進行闡明。為了論述該提問,本文將著眼於肯尼思‧沃爾茲提出的國際政治學三個分析層次。同時,在前述三個分析層次(個人、國家、國際體系)之外,加上社會與地區體系兩個要素,藉以分析最近的日韓關係。本研究以自2022年起日韓關係的改善為背景,主要從①政治領導者、②公民社會、③兩國政府、④印度-太平洋、⑤自由國際秩序等五個分析層次加以闡明,並論述兩國關係正迎接嶄新的局面。並且,由於受到美中對立、烏克蘭戰爭、中東情勢、北韓問題等宏觀環境的意外事件影響,日韓關係發生結構性變化,展現出兩國往後仍將持續合作的意圖。 This study aims to clarify the reasons for rapid improvement in Japan- South Korea relations since 2022, despite the fact that bilateral ties had deteriorated due to various issues. This article focuses on the three levels of analysis of international politics proposed by Waltz. Simultaneously, this study analyzes recent Japan-South Korea relations by adding the two elements of society and regional systems to the three levels of analysis (individual, state, and international system). This study examines the background of the improvement in Japan-South Korea relations since 2022 from the perspective of five analytical levels: (1) political leaders; (2) civil society; (3) the governments of the two countries; (4) the Indo-Pacific; and (5) the liberal international order. Moreover, it argues that the bilateral relationship is entering a new phase. Furthermore, we offer the prospect that Japan-South Korea relations are undergoing structural changes in response to major events such as the US-China rivalry, Ukraine War, crises in the Middle East, and North Korean problems, and the bilateral ties will continue to strengthen in the future. |
