Ronald Dore's 1979 essay about Japan's "internationalization" tackled one of the defining themes of Japanese politics, society, and culture over the past decades. In his characteristically witty voice, Dore assessed the myriad ways in which a Japan that was well attuned to global cultures was also capable of reaffirming supposed chasms between Japanese society and the world outside, particularly in political and economic matters. In this article, I place Dore's compelling essay in the contexts both of his own changing views on Japan over the course of his distinguished and prolific career, as well as in the currents of a Japan that has been transformed dramatically over the past three decades by transnational flows that fall outside the prevailing use of the word kokusaika (internationalization). Dore's contributions to the field displayed not only his keen engagement with Japanese intellectual and social debates, but also moral judgments regarding the values encoded, reproduced, and sometimes betrayed by institutional environments. By extending the logics of Dore's work, this article suggests that we might think of internationalization as something not only challenging these environments, but also transformed and embedded within them.

罗纳德·多尔对日本的转变态度中的国际化

罗纳德·多尔 1979 年关于日本“国际化”的文章探讨了过去几十年日本政治、社会和文化的决定性主题之一。多尔以他特有的诙谐声音评估了一个非常适应全球文化的日本也能够重申日本社会与外部世界之间的假设鸿沟的无数方式，特别是在政治和经济问题上。在本文中，我将 Dore 的这篇引人入胜的文章置于他自己在其杰出而多产的职业生涯中不断变化的日本观点的背景下，以及在过去 30 年发生巨大变化的日本的潮流中。不属于 kokusaika（国际化）这个词的普遍使用范围的跨国流动。多尔 他对该领域的贡献不仅表明他对日本知识分子和社会辩论的热切参与，而且还表明他对制度环境编码、复制和有时背叛的价值观的道德判断。通过扩展 Dore 工作的逻辑，本文建议我们可以将国际化视为不仅挑战这些环境，而且转变并嵌入其中的东西。
