Regeneration / Social Evolution

Even though the Japanese Imperialism

comes also from the western theories; there

is one aspect which differentiate it totally to the West: the pursuit of Harmony.

Permanent expansion & colonization would enable the qualitative & quantitative improvement of the race

"Because biology, as a common genetic heritage was

forging the bonds of spiritual consciousness & cultural

identity that were so crucial to the survival of the

collectivity."

The Co Prosperity Sphere concept seems to

me like a utopia.

Racial homogeneity doesn't guarantee nat'l cohesion

Japanese Imperium

General Info

"natural & spiritual communities which shared a common destiny"

"An international allocation of qualities & abilities

determined in Tokyo & that was structured economically & politically as to ensure that the relationships of superior would be perpetuated indefinitely."

To idealize a Nation and a Culture seems to lead to racism.

A lot of the negative qualities that the Japanese were describing the other Asian countries, were identical to character traits that Westerners said the Japanese possessed.

Author's opinion

Racial Considerations

Japanese destiny related to the subordination of Asia:

The report shows that the subordination of Asians in the Co-Prosperity Sphere is the very essence of the policies that had been ruling Japan in the modern times.

Racial considerations took a central place

in the long-term vision of the Co-Prosperity

sphere

Considerations of character traits of the

indigenous populations

Japanese ethnocentrism is not unique &

reflects both "western intellectual

influences" & "western pressures"

Apogee of racism and hard power willing?

As I defined the XXth Century as an era of challenge of the GB-France universal order. In this extent, can we say that this struggle for building a strong-identity nation made the XXth century as a period of racist thoughts apogee?

Even though the culture of Japan draw a very unique image of imperialism, aren't goals the same as Europeans, or American ones?

New concepts such as "cold war" or "soft power" have emerged after 1945. Could these concepts rise again, or 1945 marked their end?
