The principal purpose of this dessertation is to represent a model to reorganiza the international system for promoting international development. For this purpose a large literature and the results of other research works were referred to and citied. The method of study is the interdisciplinary one or that of the cross fertilization. The field of international development, as a learning, is not systematized scientifically; moreover, the subject matters of the research are not agreed upon up to now. Considering the present situation like this, this research is an attempt in the vast regions of international development to be explored. The purport mentioned thus far is discussed in Chapter I of this thesis, which consists of six chapters.
In Chapter II, factors for accelerating development are specified and fully discussed as the indices to the reorganization of the international system. Maintenance of world peace, extension of the welfare of man, security of the basic human rights, and preservation of the ecosystem-all these are elucidated as the ultimate goals of international development. Thus man can build the global village in which he lives a happy life with dignity in the unpolluted natural environment without fears of war and hunger.
In Chapter III, characters of the international system are analyzed to obtain the basic data needed for reorganization of it. For this, characters of the international society are examined, and the structural elements of the present international system, its characteristics and changing phases are discussed. The present international system based on the individual sovereign nation do not eliminate the possibility of total destruction of human race because it fails to remove conflicts and competitions between nations. Thus a special emphasis is put on the necessity of reorganization of the international system.
Models of the international system are analyzed in Chapter IV. The ideal type for reorganization of it is pursued of those previously proposed and expected in the future. In particular, the eight models which are to be expected are presented: the world government system, the regional system, the functional system, the world empire system, the statist concert system, the condominium system, the small state system, and the anarchistic system.
In Chapter V is drawn the actual conclusion of this thesis. The ideal type of the world polity is embodied as a model for reorganization of the world system. This organization based on the central guidance system is needed for promoting efficiency of international development. This system has two principal organs: the world assembly and the implementing board, as a legislative and an executive body respectively. These organs consists of agencies concerned with the factors for accelerating international development discussed Chapter II. The implementing board, in particular, has four specialized organizations: the world peace system, the world economic-welfare system, the world human development system, and the world ecologic system.
Chapter VI is assigned to the conclusion, but, in fact, the future of the present world system is considered in this chapter. The brigt and dark sides of it are examined and the schemes to remove dismal prospects are discussed. The necessity of the reorganization of the present international system is strongly emphasized as a means for that purpose, and it is concluded that the reorganization of it is within human ability.
