Abstract
It is more 1 than 100 years since the end of World War I, and in a world in which conflicts occur and nationalism rises frequently, we need to investigate and re-learn fromthe past 100 years through our sharpened, objective and fair intellectual spirits.
The author’s first concern about the power shift was that China overtook Japan’s GPD in 2010, and that the territorial dispute spread around Japan’s territory and Taiwan, coupled with the signs of a power shift.
On the one hand, it was the period of 2012–2022 when the attempts of regional cooperation and integration expanded, especially in Economic field.
However, amid intensifying competition, attempts at regional cooperation were unsuccessful. On the other hand, since 2014–2022, tensions between the United States and China or the United States and Russia, had increased, leading to the current conflicts and tensions. In the midst of such tension, we all, scholars of more than eleven countries, UN, UK, USA, China, Italy, India, Japan, Korea, Romania, Russia, Spain, Thailand, tried to attempt to investigate and analyze under the network with the Science Council of Japan, and discuss about what will be the New World Order should be. We can learn from European Resilience and the Normative power. This is our fruits of our investigation and analysis.
