description The present essay seeks to explore Japanese foreign policy and its trans- formations throughout time. Particular emphasis is placed on two historical moments: the emergence of Japan as an imperial power, beginning with the Meiji Restoration, and contemporary Japan. The choice of these two instances is an attempt to define an arc of development in Japanese history, in order to understand Japan’s role in Asia and how it has both determined and been determined by international dynamics. By presenting information in chrono- logical order, the essay tries to establish a connection between past and pres- ent, and asks whether a “Japanese style of influence” can be deduced from both periods. The essay finds that Japan’s place in the region has changed from a more assertive and leading one, albeit more violent, to one character- ized by the indirect balancing of power. While dealing with radically different contexts, the essay finds that Japan’s influence strategies, whether historical or contemporary, have had similar intended effects in terms of the develop- ment of other countries. In this sense, by showing a broad and brief picture of Japan’s past and present that is traversed by a single theme, the essay con- tributes to the understanding of Japan’s current position, its historical roots, and the common factors that might continue in the future.

Se hace hincapié en dos momentos históricos: la aparición de Japón como potencia imperial, que comienza con la Restauración Meiji, y el Japón contemporáneo. La elección de estas dos instancias es un intento de definir un arco de desarrollo en la historia japone- sa, con el fin de comprender el papel de Japón en Asia y cómo ha sido tanto determinado, como determinante de la dinámica internacional. Al presentar la información en orden cronológico, el ensayo intenta establecer una conexión entre el pasado y el presente, y pregunta si se puede deducir un “estilo de influencia japonés” de ambos períodos. El ensayo encuentra que el lugar de Japón en la región ha cambiado de uno más firme y líder, aunque más violento, a uno caracterizado por el equilibrio indirecto del poder. Al tratar con contextos radicalmente diferentes, el ensayo encuentra que las estrategias de influencia de Japón ya sean históricas o contemporáneas, han tenido efec- tos similares en términos del desarrollo de otros países. En este sentido, al mostrar una imagen amplia y breve del pasado y el presente de Japón que está atravesada por un solo tema, el ensayo contribuye a la comprensión de la posición actual de Japón, sus raíces históricas y los factores comunes que podrían continuar en el futuro.application/pdfspaUniversidad EAFIThttp://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/map/article/view/6152http://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/map/article/view/6152Copyright © 2019 Juan Sebastián GómezAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Mundo Asia Pacífico; Vol 8, No 15 (2019)Japan’s foreign policy: from imperial power to regional leader?Política exterior de Japón: desde poder imperial al líder regional?articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlepublishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtículohttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1JapanImperialismForeign policyAsiaHistoryDevelopmentJapónImperialismoPolítica exteriorAsiaHistoriaDesarrolloGómez, Juan SebastiánUniversidad EAFITMundo Asia Pacífico8155969THUMBNAILminaitura-map_Mesa de trabajo 1.jpgminaitura-map_Mesa de trabajo 1.jpgimage/jpeg193168https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/820a4a76-a281-43d4-8de0-2b2478bd5306/downloadbba97f39db3eff6ef515d9ceb3aa4910MD51ORIGINALdocument - 2020-05-06T133459.424.pdfdocument - 2020-05-06T133459.424.pdfTexto completo PDFapplication/pdf307250https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/a3dbec55-6cc6-43ff-81ed-289f0d59fa45/downloadece1bdc4d23ae2c23230011c13f5e268MD52articulo.htmlarticulo.htmlTexto completo HTMLtext/html367https://repository.eafit.edu.co/bitstreams/03c74179-417b-4fb7-98f1-0f45d6c235bd/download0226f2e52beb6d7e862b46771d085ad5MD5310784/16087oai:repository.eafit.edu.co:10784/160872020-09-01 18:04:05.255open.accesshttps://repository.eafit.edu.coRepositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITrepositorio@eafit.edu.co
