초록

This paper is to figure out the changes and continuities in the Japanese perception on East Asia from the period after the Meiji Restoration to the East Asian Community initiative of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ). During the prewar era, excepting for a few civilian thoughts, the major decision-making community of Japan perceived East Asia as an object for encroachment, dominance, and even alignment, depending on Japan's own situation in the imperial competition with the Western countries. In the post-war era also, East Asia was identified as Southeast Asia and it was the main object of Japanese national strategy for economic recovery and prosperity. East Asian Community initiative of DPJ may not be much different from the previous perceptions in the sense that the initiative was a response to the rise of China, the relative decline of the United State and the long-term depression of Japan. However, it is reflecting the Japanese effort to identify itself as a member of East Asia. Only when we place the DPJ's polities on East Asian regionalism in the broader canvas of history, we can have a better understanding on Japanese foreign policy initiative.
