In the wake of World War II, the defeated countries of Japan and Germany, as well as nations of Asia and Africa that had been colonies or quasi-colonies, found it necessary to a greater or lesser degree to carry out social reforms in order to extricate themselves from their conditions. In the process, prewar, wartime, and postwar memories that were deemed worthy to be preserved took root in social institutions and practices, and memories not selected failed to be cleanly passed on to the next generation, as if they had hardly occurred. After the end of World War II, both the post-war world order and the internal social organization of each nation under that order were affected to some extent by the immediate full-scale outbreak of the Cold War. World order and internal systems are closely related. This is why the Cold War not only strongly affected the internal systems and diplomacy of relatively small- and medium-sized lands, for example, countries such as Germany, which sat on the front-line of the Cold War, and the Scandinavian nations in Europe, and Japan and North and South Korea in Northeast Asia, but even to a greater extent the United States and the Soviet Union (Russia), the major powers that led the Cold War. The fact that these countries are still searching for a world order as they grapple with issues concerning national identity and the identity of citizens indicates that the relationship between world order and nations is one that is influenced by the objectives of that order. For most of these nations, this pursuit has asked such basic questions as : How is a nation formed and how do its people become citizens? At the same, it has also been a process of reformulating the goals of each nation regarding these issues. The first chapter addresses the relationship between the nation and citizens from an historical perspective of values. The second chapter takes up the issue of "memory" that exists as a shared basis for social systems. This memory can be classified into two types : memory that is communicated as information and memory that exists in social systems. In other words, these correspond to the memory of the citizens and nation, respectively. The third chapter focuses on the issue of the identity of the nation and citizens, primarily from the aspect of foreign relations. In particular, it directly addresses nationalism after it was freed from the spells of Western "benevolent patriotism for the purpose of national integration" on one hand, or that of "fanatical nationalism" on the other.
