Outline of Research at the Start |
なぜ朝鮮戦争以降の北東アジアの国際関係は限定的にしか変化してこなかったのか。なぜ 同地域の地域間協力を阻害する分断国家・領土・米軍基地などの問題は、改善されること なく今に至るのか。多くの先行研究がこれらは構造的要因に起因し、不可避であったとの立場をとる。これに対し、本研究は戦後北東アジアにおける歴史的分岐点のマルチアーカイブ分析をして、収集した公文書資料を研究代表者や分担者の所属機関などで保管・公開し、将来の研究の活性化に寄与する。

Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
On October 15-18, 2021 a workshop on “Japan and the Korean Peninsula in the Cold War” was sponsored by Kaken A and held at the Graduate School of Asia-Pacific Studies of Waseda University. Papers were prepared and presented by scholars from South Korea, the PRC and Japan, covering a range of topics concentrated in the second half of the Cold War.
Cross-archival research made possible the connection of various initiatives not usually studied together. During the detente era, the Nixon opening to China brought on a brief period of relaxation on the Korean peninsula, as well as Japan’s outreach to China. The end of the Vietnamese war brought an end to this hiatus as Kim Il Sung prepared to turn the tide agains the “imperialists” in Asia. A few years later, Carter’s plan to withdraw US troops from South Korea also had implications and connections to Japan. Finally, the shifts of perestroika revealed a fluid conjuncture where, in Northeast Asia, the Korean peninsula was the focal point of new relations and missed opportunities. But the promise of Seoul’s Nordpolitik was never fully met, since it produced an opening to the USSR, but not to North Korea, the ultimate objective.
A sponsored panel at the International Studies Association Convention went further to include analysis of all members of the incipient Quad, including India and Australia.

Current Status of Research Progress |
Current Status of Research Progress
3: Progress in research has been slightly delayed.
Reason
Document collection and processing, paper preparation and preliminary presentations are proceeding on schedule, but international cooperation was negatively impacted in 2020, since buntansha could not travel abroad and international collaborators could not visit Japan for most of the year. The arrival of zoom facilities allowed us to overcome some of these delays.

Strategy for Future Research Activity |
This coming year our Kaken group will continue to revise papers originally presented and critiqued at the SRC Summer Symposium in 2020 in preparation for a conference on national security hosted in Japan. At that time we will also hold a one-day workshop to plan the final stages of the Kaken. An additional event planned for this year is a two-day "Workshop on Japan's Cold War in the Context of Japan's 20th Century Diplomatic History" to be held with the authors of a soon-to-be-published new diplomatic history of Japan to discuss how some of the new perspectives on the Cold War being developed by our Kaken can already be incorporated into the coverage of Japan's postwar in volumes for wider dissemination. This will also be the last year for wholesale collection of new documents, as we focus on receiving copies from international collaborators, since the ravaging pandemic in Russia, the Russia-Ukraine war and China's zero-Covid policy will probably prevent visits to Russia and China. Japanese, Korea, Taiwanese and American archival materials are still being actively sought.
