摘要：History now runs quite fast. A definition of a new world order seems often outdated already a few months later. Transformation of the global politico-economic framework is proceeding so rapidly and in such an unexpected way as we approach the conclusion of this century. Through the transformation, however, four correlated dimensions of a new world order are clearly emerging; the end of the cold war, the restructuring of capitalism, US hegemony after the Gulf War, and attempts at international regional reunification like the EC. It is ironic to see that the US, a victorious single superpower, cannot serve as a model to be followed in a new world order. Instead of the decaying US model, Japan is often regarded as an ideal new model in many aspects. What position then will Japan take in a new world order? As the EC is being consolidated into a Fortress Europe, despite many internal disputes within the region, several conceptions of regional economic unification or cooperation have been floated in the Pan-Pacific area.
