Opis

Scholars from Japan and a range of other countries discuss the still-unfinished effort to achieve the reconciliation of old enmities left over from past wars in East Asia. The contributors develop concrete policy proposals for a 'grand design' peace based on the Japanese concept of 'kyosei', a word roughly translated as 'conviviality'. A positive peace through kyosei means not only the absence of violence, but also the amelioration of injustices, exploitation, oppression and unfairness left over from the past.
