本稿は、葛谷彩・芝崎厚士編『「国際政治学」は終わったのか――日本からの応答』(ナカニシヤ出版、2018年11月)を俎上に載せ、同書が刊行されたことの意義と残された課題について検討するものである。まずは研究史を踏まえて本書の位置づけを確認し(第2節)、所収された論考に見られた論点を整理する(第3節)。そこから同書で扱われたこと/扱われなかったことを明らかにして、副題に掲げられた「日本からの応答」という切り口について批判的に考察を進めていく(第4節)。この考察を通して、本書では踏み込んで論及されなかった「日本における応答(歴史研究や地域研究における自己省察)」という論点を新たに提示したい。

"International contribution", diffused in the wake of Gulf War, is a peculiar idea in Japan. Western International Relations Theory (IRT) talks about "international coordination" and/or "international cooperation", but never deals with "international contribution". I'm going to focus on the idea of "international contribution", which enables me to discuss Japanese perception of international relations and encourages me to reconsider so-called IRT.How does the idea of "international contribution" rise up to the surface? The historical overview of this question is presented in the first section. Through the rapid economic growth, the prime ministers of Japan such as Eisaku Sato, Yasuhiro Nakasone and Noboru Takeshita came to feel the enhanced international status as one of big powers, which was unaccompanied by Japan's actual performance. This gap between the expectation from "international society" and the reality in "international society" provided the setting for the idea of "international contribution". The emergence of this idea was nothing more than contingent use initially. Notwithstanding this genesis, "international contribution" precisely captured something like the flavor of the time and got into circulation.Then, how was "international contribution" mentioned? The structural outline, which is visible in the use of "international contribution", is inductively extracted in the second section. The perception that Japan had taken "free ride" on "public goods" arousing international criticism keenly made Japanese realize the necessity of "international contribution". Furthermore, "international society" is hypostatized in the background of "international contribution", dredged through the comparison with "international coordination" and "international cooperation". These understanding denote that at least for most of the Japanese the realm of international relations is not "anarchy".Besides, how was "international contribution" as practice put into? Alongside of this question, transition of subject positions, especially pertaining to the Self Defense Force (SDF) and the Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), is reviewed in the third section. Although dispatching SDF which evokes the shade of military forces had long been regarded as taboo in the postwar period, the SDF brought about recognition as an actor of "international contribution" together with growing necessity of "international contribution". NGO, on the other hand, came to accumulate fund and human material due to escalating interest in "international contribution". Then the governmental awareness of NGO has gradually changed and the government has got to utilize NGOs.Various aspects of "international contribution" are sketched through the analysis of these chapters. Based on these aspects, I wonder if "international contribution" is a certain type of IRT. It functioned historically as a "lens" which gave us some "answers" at that time. If that's the case, we ought to consider what the "academic" theory is and what it should be.

“International contribution”, diffused in the wake of Gulf War, is a peculiar idea in Japan. Western International Relations Theory (IRT) talks about “international coordination” and/or “international cooperation”, but never deals with “international contribution”. I’m going to focus on the idea of “international contribution”, which enables me to discuss Japanese perception of international relations and encourages me to reconsider so-called IRT. How does the idea of “international contribution” rise up to the surface? The historical overview of this question is presented in the first section. Through the rapid economic growth, the prime ministers of Japan such as Eisaku Sato, Yasuhiro Nakasone and Noboru Takeshita came to feel the enhanced international status as one of big powers, which was unaccompanied by Japan’s actual performance. This gap between the expectation from “international society” and the reality in “international society” provided the setting for the idea of “international contribution”. The emergence of this idea was nothing more than contingent use initially. Notwithstanding this genesis, “international contribution” precisely captured something like the flavor of the time and got into circulation. Then, how was “international contribution” mentioned? The structural outline, which is visible in the use of “international contribution”, is inductively extracted in the second section. The perception that Japan had taken “free ride” on “public goods” arousing international criticism keenly made Japanese realize the necessity of “international contribution”. Furthermore, “international society” is hypostatized in the background of “international contribution”, dredged through the comparison with “international coordination” and “international cooperation”.

In 2015, the Development Cooperation Charter, which clearly stated “ensuring Japan's national interests” as part of the “objectives of development cooperation,” was decided by Japan's Cabinet. This charter triggered debates on what the purpose of development cooperation policy should be and why “ensuring Japan's national interests” was specified. What these studies revealed was a synchronic link-age with the policies undertaken by the Abe administration at the time, which meant that the social norms of altruism, that development cooperation policies should be implemented for the welfare of others, had already faded. When and how did the social norms of altruism weaken with regard to Japan's development cooperation policy? In this paper, I examine the period from the 1970s to the early 2000s, in order to clarify the process of normative transition from altruism to self-interest through historical discourse analysis. Altruism here is defined as a social norm constructed by discourses that emphasize the humanitarian aspects of aid, positioning development cooperation policies as a means to fulfill international “responsibilities” and “contributions.” Self-interest, on the other hand, is defined as a social norm constructed by discourses that encourages “Japan's visible assistance” based on “national interests ”and“ strategy.” This analysis mainly revealed that (1) as early as the 1980s, the slump in plant exports triggered the Japan Business Federation to ask the Japanese government for“Japan's visible assistance ”based on “national interests” and “strategies,” (2) around the mid-1990s, fiscal retrenchment and the securitization of Northeast Asia led to the spread of self-interest social norm in Japanese society. These results reveal that the foregrounding of self-interest was a process of re-enforcing the linkage between development cooperation policies and domestic economic conditions, which in turn suggests the contemporary question of whether there is any alternative form of linkage between development cooperation policies and domestic conditions.

筑波大学中央図書館のラーニング・コモンズ「ラーニング・スクエア」では,2015年10~12月,オープンなスペースである「グループ学習スペース」において,大学院生対象の授業科目「ザ・プレゼンテーション」を10回にわたり実施した。講師と受講者を対象に調査したところ,ラーニング・スクエアは,開放的で立ち寄りやすいという点が評価されている一方で,周囲の目や音が気になるため授業への集中が妨げられるという側面もあり,活発な議論や発表の場として活用するには課題が存在することが明らかとなった。
