Free exchange: The wonks’ weapons

(コメント) プーチンの脅迫による成果は、その制裁に比べて値しないだろう。やめた方がよい、という記事が、今では読むに値しないか? もう1つの記事は、プーチンが支持基盤とした富裕層、都市中産階級、批判的な若者たちにも注目します。

むしろ、より印象的な記事は、中国の投資や融資とハイスピードの建築作業がアフリカを世界にリンクしたことを伝えます。そして、イギリス保守党の分裂症と、それがもたらした指導者、ボリス・ジョンソンのガバナンス崩壊。

経済制裁は機能しない、という研究の紹介を、今こそ深刻に読みます。

******************************

IPEの想像力 3/14/29

暖かくなった日曜日、新薬師寺の十二神将像を初めて観ました。1300年を経た国宝です。キエフにある同じような歴史遺産が、今、破壊されていると思うと、息が詰まります。

ウクライナ国境で家族が引き裂かれている、という記事を読みました。女性や子供を国外に避難させて、男たちはロシア軍の侵攻を止めるために戦おうとしています。

戦争は終わらず、犠牲者が増え続ける圧力の下で外交をつくします。小国の側に最新鋭兵器や財源を支援することは、ロシアの勝利を困難にするでしょう。しかし、戦争を止めるわけではありません。双方の犠牲者が急激に増えています。

降伏することは、ロシア軍の占領と治安部隊による粛清、政治体制の強制転換を意味する、という恐怖があります。ウクライナ軍は、たとえ犠牲者が増え続けると分かっていても、ロシア軍の侵攻に抵抗し、形勢を逆転するか、少なくとも均衡化をめざします。

プーチンは核戦争を警告し、NATOの参戦を阻みます。経済制裁の効果は、ロシア経済を隔離し、破滅させるとともに、世界市場の分割を促すと予想されます。

政府は、戦争の戦い方・戦術を選択する必要がある、と思います。ウクライナ側の犠牲者をできるだけ減らし、ロシア軍による侵攻と占領の財政・経済的コストを増やすことです。ウクライナ軍は都市部の防衛をあきらめて、都市の外に分散して多くの拠点を築くでしょう。都市に残される住民たちが人道支援を受け、ロシア側の情報操作や政治工作に抵抗することへの国際監視・支援を強化することも含めて、長期の抵抗を組織します。

戦争が膠着状態になることで、終結に向けて、双方の戦略目標と、地域や世界の主要国が支持する新しい戦後秩序に関心が集中します。

戦争目的は何か? 戦後秩序をどうするのか? 戦争は、交渉によって停止します。地震や津波ではないのです。

****

311は東日本大震災と福島原発事故の記念日です。ウクライナ戦争の報道と重なって、私は難民の帰還や財政負担のことを考えました。

放射能汚染の影響は続き、帰還を希望する住民は減っています。原発の再稼働や、土地の嵩上げ、住宅の移転、堤防を築くことで次の津波のコストを減らす、という目標の設定は、最初から間違っていた、と私は思います。

日本政府は、離散家族の雇用と住宅より、巨大な堤防で海を遮断することに、財源を消尽し、国民に負担を強いました。地域産業・コミュニティの再建と、住民による避難支援システムを整備するべきだった、と私は思います。

****

今から思えば、プーチンの主張した、ロシアの安全保障上の懸念を、欧米諸国は真剣に扱うべきでした。NATOを拡大するより、ロシアを(そしてプーチンを)包摂する安全保障の枠組みを優先していたら、ウクライナ戦争は回避できたかもしれない、と思います。

大国と国際機関は役割を果たすべきです。大国は中立地帯や非核化・非武装地帯を設け、これらを拡大すること。非核諸国の圧力で、次の戦争を回避する交渉と、核兵器を保有する軍事大国への経済制裁発動を明確にすること。

大規模な避難を支援し、早期の帰還をめざすために、交戦地帯から逃れる難民に、国際的に保障された居住区域を設け、衣食住と医療・教育、働く機会を提供します。

女性や子供たちが家族と再会できる日に、殺戮と外交交渉、経済制裁、国際支援、戦争に関わる意思決定と結果の検証が、国際社会の責任で進む光景を観るでしょう。

戦争とは何か? 戦争を冒す者に厳しく問う十二神将がよみがえります。
