Abstract

It is said that the 1990s will be Japan's most important transition period since the time of World War II. During the past few years, huge global changes (which occur only once every hundred years or so) have taken place. Especially noteworthy were changes in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union, symbolized by the destruction of the Berlin Wall in November 1989, the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the establishment of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) at the end of 1991. These changes resolved this century's biggest ideological battle over which system was superior and eliminated—in a single stroke—the cold war which had existed between the United States and the Soviet Union since the end of World War II.
