In 2007 Japanese Diplomatic Blue book will construct"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"with the original diplomatic three principles together, will be called"the Japanese diplomacy new pillar"."Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"diplomatic and the traditional Japanese diplomacy idea is inherits, simultaneously is new pillar to stress that Japan takes the world power, the achievement whole world benefit country realistic idea, is also"the value oriented diplomacy","proactive diplomacy"' concrete manifestation."Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"is by"the political stability, the democratic value, the human rights and the government by law construction"freedom and"economic development question"the prosperous two aspects compose, its goal is develops the Japanese diplomatic new phase. The new diplomatic thought's goal will be"outside the Eurasia along this while the cold war had finished East and West will oppose which will end, the system have the fierce change a little to look like the arc area unceasingly, will make the freedom and the prosperous arc", looked from the country and the local distribution,"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"will start in Northern Europe, will then be Baltic Sea, Eastern Europe, Turkey, Caucasus, the Middle East, Central Asia, South Asia, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, finally will arrive at Northeast Asia's South Korea and Mongolia.Part two to create"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"the diplomatic strategic agent carries on the analysis, including diplomatic strategy agent, geographic strategy agent and national strategy agent three aspects. The diplomatic strategy aspect,One hand,"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"diplomacy carries on the postwar diplomatic transformation."Freedom and prosperous"flaunts from idea general for the Japan national strategy and the diplomatic strategy basis, thus enables the postwar diplomacy to continue and develop under the new situation. Another hand expands the Japanese diplomatic global participation extent."World' anyplace occurs anytime all not impossible to have nothing to do with Japan", this need Japan carries on the global participation and the government. Therefore, the Japanese diplomacy needs a more explicit frame,"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"creation, manifests specifically just this intention.

Though the threatening force of"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"diplomacy is very big, it is difficult to reflect new meaning, This"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"diplomacy is only more specific expression of"Western"diplomacy, can not become a long-term guiding principle of Japan's diplomacy, also can not become a basis of Japan's diplomacy."Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"diplomacy is idealistic, also is realistic. The"idealism"means making all"widespread value nation"adopt Japanese suggestion, But Japan's strength and prestige can not be achieved。The"Realism"means that the"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"specifies the complexity of the interests of Japan in order to strengthen the Japan-EU relations, enhance the cooperative relation with the United States and NATO, expand Eurasia geo-strategic through the democratic link which connect the Eurasian continent, and also establishing a solid framework for the United States and Europe as a full-scale diplomatic triangle basis. Superficially, Japan wants to permeate the"widespread value"which American and Europe share into these nations, ultimately"make the thought of democracy, and prosperous rooted in these nations".

The prosperity is not long. In 2007 the peaceful time of cabinet falls from power, the diplomatic new idea stops in light of this. But"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"has reflected Japan to the diplomatic strategic ponder, moreover Japan in the last few years already built many the platform which exchanged with these countries between, later still will display affects, could not change in turn because of the political power, only will be the method is possibly by other one way appearance.

As for China, we should to should not be Japanese Government proposes"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"and"value oriented diplomacy"these slogans, first should see regarding China's rising, Japan holds one kind of any type point of view. Second,"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"and"value oriented diplomacy", has manifested Japan moves towards the political great nation,"the ordinary country"extend. Third, how should deal with the Chinese and Japanese relations to China to propose the police showed. This essay is from the diplomatic frame content, the strategic agent, the strategic attribute and forecast three aspects allied to"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"and"value oriented diplomacy"to multi-level, multi-angle perspective of analysis and draw conclusion, although Japanese political power changed,"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"ceased temporarily, but the not neglect question was, this diplomatic statement, has let us see cold war latter for more than ten years, the Japanese great nation diplomacy change. Not only"Arc of Freedom and Prosperity"diplomacy causes the human to see Japanese had the ambition huge conception, after also causes us to review the Japanese the diplomatic achievement after cold war, macroscopically grasps Japan's Eurasia diplomacy complete picture, has provided an angle of view and the turning point.
