日本的国际教育援助及其软实力构建

Japanese International Education Aid and the Construction of Soft Power

国际教育援助是日本软实力战略的重要实施手段。“二战”后至20世纪90年代前，日本的国际教育援助旨在加强与亚洲受害国的教育文化交流，改变“侵略国”、“经济动物”等负面的国家形象；90年代之后，日本的国际教育援助服务于政治大国战略。在非洲，日本通过举办非洲发展国际会议，输出了新的援助理念，国际教育援助为其联合国外交做出了贡献。在亚洲，日本为扩大其政治影响力，选择了蒙古、越南、泰国等“战略性国家”进行援助。教育援助因其直接与受援国人民的福祉相关，在为日本与这些“战略性国家”建立良好关系，提高日本软实力方面发挥了重要作用。

International education aid can be an important means of implementation of Japan's strategy of soft power. From post world war Ⅱto 1990，Japan's international education aid aimed at strengthening educational and cultural exchanges with the victimized Asian countries so as to change the negative national image of 'aggressor state' and 'economic animal'. After the 1990s，Japan's international education aid serves its strategy of great political power. Through the organization of the International Conference on African Development，Japan outputs its new aid philosophy. International education aid makes a significant contribution to its UN diplomacy. To enhance its political influence，Japan allocates its foreign aid to Mongolia，Vietnam and Thailand that are considered as strategic states. Education aid which is directly connected with the well-being of the people in the recipient countries， plays a positive role in establishing good relationship with the strategic states and the construction of Japan's soft power.
