Japan's "big Country" And,

Based on the review of Japan's prewar"great nationalization"practice and combined the selecting process of its developing route, this paper comments objectively on Japan's present"great nationalization".As the historical background of Japan's postwar development, the introductory chapter describes Japan's developmental path's choice, then it briefly reviews Japan's prewar practice of"great nationalization". This paper shows that, after founding Japan, modern Japan explicitly sets up a developmental aim of"great nationalization", and it also carries on a developmental route of"great nationalization". Moreover, the"great nation"practice can show Japan's military aggressiveness in its implementary way, Asian directive property in its expansive goal, and its competitiveness among international great nations.As the basic and starting point of Japan's postwar national development, chapter one comments the postwar democratized reform, as well as the process of Japan's independent obtainment by getting rid of being an occupied nation. Japan takes the promulgation of peace constitution as the symbol, and the postwar democratized reform has determined the peaceful developmental way for postwar Japan. However, US's leading postwar reform has retained the emperor as Japan's symbolic status, so Japan can't abandon the emperor system thoroughly. In addition, US transformed its policy towards Japan which makes Japan become independent without making profound introspection on the war's responsibility or making thorough settlement of prewar militarism, which causes Japan's postwar national development being influenced too much by its aggressive history.During the postwar beginning period, Shigeru Yoshida, who has been in charge of Japan's political right for a long time, according to the objective domestic and foreign situation, takes realism as the foundation, and he has established a conservative way called"the mother current"which highlights"heavy economy, light armament". The conservative"side flows"power, which is full of nationalistic tendency and is represented by Ichirou Hatoyama and Nobusuke Gishi, goes upon the stage to correct Yoshida regime's ways of too pro-American and too much emphasis on economy, and it turns the emphasis from"the economic centralism"to"the political centralism". In the late 50s, postwar Japan carries on the"side flows"policy for a period, which puts emphasis on the completion of independent system and reconstruction of armament."The political centralism"of the"side flows"political power has the meaning of denying the postwar democratized achievement and reactivating prewar"militarism", therefore the postwar rising anti-war and peaceful democratic power jointly initiates"the security struggle"massively, which also pulls Japan back to"the economic centralism". After that, the conservative"mother current"political power implements the peaceful developmental policy, which rises Japan rapidly into an economic giant, and improved its own international position. Chapter Two and the first part of Chapter Three comment its developmental process.The process of economic"great nationalization"and the establishment of its economic giant status help the Japanese restore their national self-esteem after the war's defeat. At the same time, Japan's way of constant following the US and only developing its economy has gained it an inelegant nickname"economic animal". After achieving the goal of"richening nation"by keeping"mother current"route, Japan combines the two aspects together, and makes a"new conservatism"route of making Japan"the international nation", and it becomes the main route for conservative government since 80s, which asserts carrying out postwar political"general accounts"and carrying forward Japan's fine national culture."The new conservatism"route is the combination and future development of conservative"mother current"and"side flows"routes, and its essence is to advocate Japan's"great nationalization"comprehensively, especially the developmental path's choice of political"great nationalization". After the cold war, Japan's"great nationalization"develops very quickly under this route, especially military, which has sent militia to overseas under the name of"specially defend defense". The second part of Chapter Three and the first part of Chapter Four comment this process.Moreover, in the third part of Chapter Three, this paper also briefly introduces"the new conservatism"route and the developmental direction of"the great nationalization"; the second and third parts of Chapter Four mainly comment the policies of Itchiro Ozawa's"normal country"and Shinzo Abe's"beautiful country", and point out that they are the national views of"the new conservatism"and they want to push forward Japan's"the great nationalization".Chapter Five selects the related material of military"great nationalization"as the main commentary object, and introduces the incomplete factors that affect"the great nationalization"by analyzing three subjective examples: Japanese and US Security Union, the Japanese ordinary people's"peace lawsuit"by peaceful constitution, and postwar conservative government's"changing the constitution by explanation"in the military aspect to break through the ninth constitution. As the Japan's promotion and restriction of"the great nationalization", US can be looked as a coin of two sides; the Japanese government clearly plays a positive role for"the new conservatism"; but in the ordinary people's point of view, especially people in the"peaceful lawsuit", they advocate the peaceful constitution of anti-war and peace without the support from social party, which is a restriction of"great nationalization". That is to say, it is the key force to avoid Japan going on the"militarism"route.The last chapter links the choice of developmental route with its promotional process, comparing with Japan's prewar"great nation"practice, it summarizes and pays attention to the character and foreground of Japan's"great nationalization"under"the new conservatism"route, and it points out that Japan's"the great nationalization"has two directions, one is holding the mission of peace, the other is working on"new nationalism". Because of the unstable factors in the eastern Asian's international political pattern and the unsettled historical problems existing between eastern Asian and Japan, paying fully attention to Japan's"great nationalization"has a realistic meaning to the building of harmonious Asian international order.
