Актуальность темы обусловлена современными трендами во внешней политике Японии, когда ее дипломатия в регионе становится более проактивной, что обусловлено энергоресурсной значимостью Ближнего Востока, что, как следствие, порождает конкуренцию среди стран за геополитическое влияние; Токио одновременно позиционирует себя как проводник «западных ценностей» в регионе, следуя в фарватере Вашингтона в ближневосточном регионе, и как страна Востока. При этом особенности процесса принятия решений внутри самой Японии делают ее политику «неповоротливой», лишая ее динамики в крайне конфликтогенном регионе, где ситуация стремительно меняется.</p><p>В данной статье представлено теоретическое обоснование внешнеполитического курса Японии, выбора ее приоритетов и определена роль Ближнего Востока в данной стратегии.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The purpose of this study is to determine Japan’s guidelines in the international arena and the role of the Middle East in Japan’s foreign policy in the postwar period. The relevance of the topic is conditioned by the current trends in Japan’s foreign policy, when its diplomacy in the region becomes more proactive due to the energy and resource importance of the Middle East, which, as a consequence, generates competition among the countries for geopolitical influence. On the one hand, Tokyo positions itself as a promoter of “Western values” in the region, following Washington’s path in the Middle East region, and, on the other, as a country of the East. At the same time, the peculiarities of the decision-making process inside Japan itself make its policy “sluggish”, depriving it of dynamics in a highly conflict-prone region, where the situation is rapidly changing.</p><p>The article presents a theoretical foundation of Japan’s foreign policy course, substantiates the choice of its priorities and defines the role of the Middle East in this strategy.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>внешняя политика Японии</kwd><kwd>японо-ближневосточные отношения</kwd><kwd>японо-американский альянс безопасности</kwd><kwd>энергетическая безопасность</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Japan’s foreign policy</kwd><kwd>Japan-Middle East relations</kwd><kwd>Japan-U.S. security alliance</kwd><kwd>energy security</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Истомин 2014 – Истомин И.А.
