| Research Abstract |
This research examines four dilemmas which Japanese foreign policy toward Asia have faced for about 20 years after the WWII ; economic internationalism vs. regionalism, economic growth vs. Asian aid, nationalism and communism in Asia, and Asianism vs. Anglo-American oriented. For our completion of research work, we not only drew to light a significant number of sources deposited in the Foreign Ministry of Japan and the US National Archives that had not previously been considered in depth but also put our findings into each context of four dilemmas. In general, our research findings suggest that the idea of economic cooperation with South east Asian countries as means to solve or overcome four dilemmas, which was designed by Japanese foreign ministry as an 'open-regionalism', continues to be great importance for Japanese role of stabilizing Asia with the aim of supporting the economic growth and of moderating of 'radical' nationalism in Asian countries. Although some of his conclusions may be contestable in some respects, the overall results of our research will appear to be of great importance to diplomatic historians.
