Outline of Final Research Achievements

There are three main goals which this study of the transformation from the thought of post-nation state transnationalism to the emergence of the thought and behavior of alter-nation state global transnationalism.

Second, this study especially focuses on the development of the idea on international cultural exchange or international/global networking, by re-estimating the significance of the thought of Norihiro Ito, who first devised the idea of 'catalyst' theory or the 'grand design' of global transnational networking in Japan.
