Marc Notes: This volume addresses three main themes: spirituality and ethics;international and transnational relations;and education and culture. The contributors seek solutions to the question of how people can start seeing issues from a global point of view, rather than from narrow national perspectives. In keeping with the global nature and scope of the world's problems, they come from diverse countries, including Japan, Morocco, South Africa, Germany, Italy, Belgium, and the US.
