Beyond National Egoism

Today, we are directly facing many serious problems such as the crises of global scale environmental destruction, poverty and famine in developing countries, and wars and conflicts. Bringing to life the pacifist ideals of the Constitution of Japan, a new collaborative framework striving for the improvement of the global environment and society is presented. This book proposes to establish a national ideal for Japan and other countries of the world to become a non-egoistic nation , or specifically, a Nation for International Peace and the Environment .
