becalm, calm, restful, unrest,rescue, perspective,



From anti-austerity movements to middle class revolts, in rich countries and in poor, social unrest has been on the rise around the world.

the sclerotic perspective

  Abe seems to recognize that Japan has been squandering its greatest foreign-policy asset — its democracy. Building a foreign policy around promoting democracy — and the rights essential to it — will require overcoming the sclerotic perspective of the foreign ministry mandarins. The response to Japan’s North Korea initiative shows that much of the world will welcome Tokyo assuming such a leadership role. John Kerry should encourage that.看來安倍意識到日本沒有利用好它最強的外交財富——民主。以促進民主進程及其包含的基本權利為核心,構建外交政策,首先需要克服的是外務省官僚的僵 化思維。日本此次就朝鮮問題發起倡議所得到的反響表明,很多國家是樂見東京擔負起這方面的領導職責的。約翰·克里應該對此加以鼓勵。
