美国的自由贸易区战略与区域制度霸权

美苏冷战期间,美国一度通过国际制度建设取得了三分之二世界的霸主地位。然而冷战结束后,国际格局与国家实力的交化使美国无力继续追求全球性的制度霸权,而是转向区域制度霸权战略,通过以自由贸易区为主的地区合作制度追求其在各地区的主导地位与战略利益。其中,能否构造适宜的地区关系格局是大国主导自贸区与区域制度霸权战略能否达成的决定性因素,具体表现为三项任务:力量结构调整、单向支付与软实力建设。只有围绕本国优势兼顾这三项任务,大国才有可能在地区霸权的竞争中取得胜利。通过对NAFTA、FTAA与TPP三个案例的分析可以发现,美国追求地区霸权的战略尝试之所以成效各异,原因就在于其对三项任务的完成情况不同,进而影响到其地区影响力以及相较于对手的地区竞争力。

The Article 9 Association,Leftist Elites,and the Movement to Save Article 9 of Japan’s Postwar Constitution

Leftist political parties and labor unions that had stood at the forefront of the collective effort to protect Article 9 until the early 1990s have stepped back to some extent as they have shrunk and fragmented. Instead, advocacy groups whose influence is often enhanced by ‘leftist elites’ have now seemed to come more to the fore, thereby raising certain questions: What roles do the leftist elites play in those groups? How are such groups organized? Who exactly are the leftist elites? This article intends to address questions regarding the leftist elites, as well as the organization and development of these advocacy groups, in particular the Article 9 Association.
