Features: Neither modernists nor postmodernists have recognized the arrival of a new era in discussions about globalization. Rather, replacing "globalization" with "global age" would be more appropriate as a term for the current historical transformation. To understand the epochal nature of this historical change, a new theoretical framework is needed. This book is an attempt to understand the issues from a new theoretical framework. The replacement of modernity by globality has led to a decentering phenomenon in various fields such as the nation, government, culture, and community. Therefore, it is necessary to reconstruct theories concerning these institutions and their interrelationships. There is a potential that can be used from readers' letters to restore its enduring importance.
