Dear Marco:
(1) Albeit very belated, many, many thanks for your msgs (ATTACHMENT I).
I also thank you for your following very interesting and inspiring paper;
Professor
Marco Antonio Rodrigues Dias
Globalization and Dialogue of Civilizations: The Role of China
<http://preview.tinyurl.com/359de3>
I have read it with great interest.
(2) I thank you very much for your mentioning our workshop <http://www.uta.fi/%7etitava/EGEDL/>
in Page 16;
In the
presentation of the workshop on "Emerging Electronic Global Distance
Learning" held at the University of Tampere, in Finland, from 9 to 13
August 1999, the organizers of that event declared that "the digital
revolution and economic globalisation are taking us into a new era. We
are moving towards the global knowledge society where information, skills and
competence become the driving forces of social and economic development. The problems associated with
this transformation cannot any longer be solved by traditional means. Effective
learning requires upgraded multimedia educational materials which can only be
used with the broadband Internet."

Khanna
ÒWaving Goodbye to HegemonyÓ
The New York Times, January 27, 2008
<http://preview.tinyurl.com/3dswdm>
(4) In your paper of the Item (1) above, you say;
ÒIn
Asian values, if I understood the debates correctly, the main force of the
universe is based on solidarity, respect for the family and hierarchy, zeal for
work, etc, and not individualism and competition.Ó
On the other hand, KhannaÕs article of the Item (3) above says;
ÒKarl
Marx and Max Weber both chastised Far Eastern cultures for being despotic,
agrarian and feudal, lacking the ingredients for organizational success.Ó
In the following diagram, the Eastern culture may be depicted with the vertical
pyramid and the Western with the inverse-pyramid;

Thanks to rapid advancements of Information and Communication Technologies
(ICTs) and transportation, more people are mingling each other across
boundaries, accelerating the creation of borderless global society. We
then need to create a new global culture for the new knowledge society, basing
on the ÒUnity-in-Difference.Ó

Dear Kaisa:
(5) I strongly suggest that you read through the above two articles for your
following project;
(02/01/08)
Finnish Noblesse Oblige Project for Paradigm Shift and Change the World
http://preview.tinyurl.com/2kx63c
How is the progress of your construction of a fund raising material for this
project? Pls feel free to send me your next version draft so that we can
work on it together.
Dear Marco:
(6) Your paper mentions about the creation of the International Institute on
the Alliance of Civilizations (UNU-IAC), a new Research and Training Center of
the United Nations based in Spain.
I wonder if they may be interested in our following projects;
(a) Quantitative
Policy Analysis of Global Socio-Economic-Energy-Environment Development
(GSEEED) Project
http://preview.tinyurl.com/337nrn
This is an initiation project of;
(b)
Takeshi Utsumi, GLOSAS/USA
"Globally Collaborative Environmental Peace Gaming"
http://tinyurl.com/k2c7a
In the near future, these projects would lead to;
"Globally
Collaborative Innovation Network with Global University System," Paper for Learning
Technology, IEEE
Computer Society, Vol. 8, Issue 3, July, 2006

(7) About a quarter century ago, Prof. Michio Nagai was the President of Tokyo
Institute of Technology, which is my alma mater. He then became the
Minister of Education to have brought the United Nations University to Tokyo.
He was one of my mentors.
Dr. Nagai and Prof. Onishi then introduce me to Mr. Edward Ploman, Vice Rector
on Global Learning Division of the United Nations University. When I
visited him in his office, he indicated his strong willingness to support our
projects. However, alas, a few month after that, he got a cancer and
hospitalized in Paris, and passed away.
I would greatly appreciate it if you can kindly check if the UNU-IAC may be
interested in our projects.
Best, Tak
