Opis

Before 1962 Japan belonged to the East while thereafter Japan was considered part of the West in science, industry and international law. After 1992, Japan belonged to the new West. While the world is struggling with climate change and infectious disease, Japan will emerge by 2022 as the oasis of stability.
