AbstractThe establishment of the ASEAN-Japan Forum on Synthetic Rubber in 1973 is said to be the beginning of the partnership between ASEAN and Japan. Half a century has passed since then, and the politics, economics, and societies of Japan and ASEAN countries have dramatically changed. Furthermore, the international and regional circumstances surrounding them are also significantly transforming. They are facing new challenges, such as the escalation of great power rivalry between the United States and China, the rise of protectionism and economic statecraft, the retreat of democracy, the middle-income trap, widening economic and social disparity, aging societies, growing environmental problems, and so on. How can these challenges be overcome through the new partnership between ASEAN and Japan? What should be specifically considered and implemented? With these issues in mind, four specialists exchanged their views at a roundtable discussion held at the International House of Japan on May 2, 2023.

AbstractIn March 2023, Prime Minister Kishida Fumio announced “Japan’s New Plan for a ‘Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP).’” Prior to this, in December 2022, the Kishida Cabinet revised the National Security Strategy and adopted the National Defense Strategy. The new National Security Strategy officially positioned the FOIP as a fundamental component of Japan’s security strategy. Furthermore, the Kishida Cabinet has presented the New Plan as the first comprehensive outline of the specific policies that Japan will pursue under the initiative. The New Plan contains “four pillars of cooperation” with a total of 51 policies. Despite the expanded scope of security policies, the Kishida Cabinet emphasizes the diplomatic nature of the initiative, highlighting various agendas for cooperation in the region. This article illustrates how Prime Minister Kishida silently maintains and refines the strategic nature of the initiative with the New Plan in response to the growing presence and influence of China in the Indo-Pacific region. Notes1 The Abe, Suga, and Kishida administrations have collectively referred to Japan’s strategy for the Indo-Pacific region as the “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” strategy, the “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” initiative, and the “Free and Open Indo-Pacific,” as well as simply the “FOIP.” In this article, the series of strategies will be referred to as the “Free and Open Indo-Pacific” initiative. However, when the Prime Minister uses a specific term such as “strategy” in his speeches or summit meetings, the article uses that term.2 Teruaki Aizawa, “Gaimusho HP kara Yomitoku ‘Jiyu de Hirakareta Indo-Taiheiyo Senryaku (FOIP)’ no Rinen to Jissen [The Philosophy and Practice of the ‘Free and Open Indo-Pacific Strategy (FOIP)’ decoded from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Website],” the Ocean Policy Research Institute, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation, July 30, 2018, https://www.spf.org/oceans/global-data/20181116181023949.pdf (English); Teruaki Aizawa, “Sonogo no ‘Jiyu de Hirakareta Indo-Taiheiyo Senryaku (FOIP)’ no Hensen to Tenkai [Subsequent Changes and Developments of the Free and Open Indo-Pacific Strategy (FOIP)],” the Ocean Policy Research Institute, the Sasakawa Peace Foundation, June 15, 2019, https://www.spf.org/oceans/analysis_ja02/post_20190621-copy.html; Saori Katada, “Indo-Taiheiyo Koso to Dochiiki no Keizai Renkei [The Indo-Pacific Initiative and Economic Partnerships in the Region],” Kokusai Mondai [International Affairs], vol. 687 (December 2019), 25-36, https://www2.jiia.or.jp/kokusaimondai_archive/2010/2019-12_004.pdf?noprint; Kei Koga, “Japan’s ‘Indo-Pacific’ question: countering China or shaping a new regional order” International Affairs vol.96, no. 1 (January 2020): 49-73, Kei Koga, “Japan’s ‘Free and Open Indo-Pacific’ Strategy: Tokyo’s Tactical Hedging and the Implications for ASEAN,’ Contemporary Southeast Asia, vol. 41, no. 2 (August 2019):286-313; Narushige Michishita, “Japan’s Grand Strategy for a Free and Open Indo
2023年3月，日本首相岸田文雄宣布了“自由开放的印度-太平洋新计划”(FOIP)。在此之前，岸田文雄内阁于2022年12月修改了《国家安全战略》，并通过了《国防战略》。新的国家安全战略正式将FOIP定位为日本安全战略的基本组成部分。此外，岸田文雄内阁提出了新计划，作为日本将在该倡议下推行的具体政策的第一个全面大纲。新规划包含“四大合作支柱”，共51项政策。尽管扩大了安全政策的范围，但岸田文雄内阁强调了该倡议的外交性质，强调了该地区合作的各种议程。这篇文章阐述了岸田文雄首相如何默默维护和完善“新计划”倡议的战略性质，以应对中国在印度-太平洋地区日益增长的存在和影响。注1安倍、菅义伟、岸田文雄三届政府将日本的印太战略统称为“自由开放的印太战略”、“自由开放的印太倡议”、“自由开放的印太战略”或简称为“FOIP”。本文将这一系列战略统称为“自由开放的印太倡议”。但是，当总理在演讲或首脑会议中使用“战略”等特定术语时，文章就使用该术语Teruaki Aizawa，“Gaimusho HP kara Yomitoku ' Jiyu de Hirakareta Indo-Taiheiyo Senryaku (FOIP) ' no Rinen to Jissen[从外交部网站解码的'自由开放的印度太平洋战略(FOIP) '的哲学与实践]”，笹川和平基金会海洋政策研究所，2018年7月30日，https://www.spf.org/oceans/global-data/20181116181023949.pdf(英文);Teruaki Aizawa，“Sonogo no ' Jiyu de Hirakareta Indo-Taiheiyo Senryaku (FOIP) ' no Hensen to Tenkai[自由开放的印度太平洋战略(FOIP)的后续变化和发展]”，笹川和平基金会海洋政策研究所，2019年6月15日，https://www.spf.org/oceans/analysis_ja02/post_20190621-copy.html;片田saori，“印度-太平洋倡议与地区经济伙伴关系”，《国际事务》，第687卷(2019年12月)，25-36,https://www2.jiia.or.jp/kokusaimondai_archive/2010/2019-12_004.pdf?noprint;古贺庆:《日本的“印太”问题:对抗中国还是塑造地区新秩序》，《国际事务》第96期。1(2020年1月):49-73，古贺庆，“日本的‘自由开放的印太’战略:东京的战术对冲及其对东盟的影响”，《当代东南亚》，第41卷，第1期。2(2019年8月):286-313;德成道下，“日本对自由开放的印度-太平洋的大战略”，《牛津日本政治手册》，编辑。Robert J.

AbstractThis article argues that Southeast Asian countries are not afraid but rather welcome Japan’s recent expansion of security-related cooperation. Based on public opinion surveys and elite interviews, the author claims that the Japanese government should, without fear of criticism and without hesitation, send clearer messages to Asian partners to explain the changes and prospects for Japan’s security cooperation with them to the public at large. They would definitely welcome Japan’s explanation, accept the change, and consider constructive ways to engage with Japan.

AbstractWhile Japan and the ASEAN states can celebrate the Golden Jubilees of the ASEAN-Japan Friendship and Cooperation and the Fukuda Doctrine, there is no room for complacency. Both sides must assiduously cultivate a closer and comprehensive relationship in the decades ahead for mutual support and benefits. A cordial and cooperative relationship will boost the capability of Japan and the ASEAN states to have greater agency to act autonomously in a new epoch threatening to suck them into the vortex of a New Cold War bipolarity between the competing US and Chinese superpowers.
