| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to explain how the internationalists of Japan thought the international order between the great wars. The one of the representative of them was Inazo Nitobe. He thought the Pan Pacific League of Nations (PPLN) as the international order. He also thought that the mother of PPLN was the Pan Pacific Union (PPU), and the organization to play a part in smoothing relations between nations was the Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR) as a non government organization.
Nitobe and Toyohiko Kagawa thought that the Christian International should support spiritually IPR even if Nitobe didn't say so openly. The center of Christian International movement in Japan was the cooperation of Nitobe and Kagawa. This study could sketch the formation of the cooperation of Nitobe and Kagawa and their real movement focusing on Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR).
