Description
Summary:Japan's interactions--personal, corporate, and national--with the outside world are expanding almost geometrically and the Japanese have a frenzied sense of urgency about how they and their society can promote a stable and effective role for their country. Discussions of this phenomenon by Japanese often revolve around the term Kokusai-ka. Foreigners use this term "internationalization" almost casually; Japanese do not. Although the Japanese may use it in some vague amorphous context and may be unable to define clearly what they mean, Kokutai-ka is seen as critically important to Japan's survival.
