Against a global competition based on military, political or economic force, Tsunesaburo Makiguchi – a forward-thinking geographer, educational theorist and religious reformer, founder, in 1930, of the Soka Gakkai - defined a new form of competition, what he termed the humanitarian competition.
Makiguchi saw this shift not as merely representing a change in the venue or form of competition, but a qualitative transformation, from a winner-takes-all style of competition, to one conducted within a consciously acknowledged framework of cooperation, what today might be called a “win-win” mode of competition.
This concept of Humanitarian Competition, introduced by Makiguchi about one century ago, has been deepened and developed nowadays by Daisaku Ikeda, the current President of Soka Gakkai, with its Peace Proposal to the United Nations (2009)

Loyalty to national governments and to more local identities is not seen in contrast but, on the opposite, as necessary correlation, of a wider loyalty to the planet, both are the two sides of the same love of humanity as a whole. Preservation of cultural diversity is seen possible only as far as there is a global effort to generate synergies amongst the different local identities that contrast uniformity that is now being imposed as a result of politically ungoverned economic globalization.
This new emerging vision of “world citizenship” encompasses the principles of social and economic justice, both within and between nations; non-adversarial decision making at all levels of society; equality of the sexes; racial, ethnic, national and religious harmony; and the willingness to sacrifice for the common good.

The Eu
gad partners, following a participatory approach, interviewed project stakeholders in order to receive their suggestions on how best to achieve the project objective, and their responses have been a primary source of information for the preparation of project outputs: web site, manuals, documentaries.
It is now possible in the Library to go to the Issues List and read the opinions and observations of different stakeholders concerning these issues and to see how they contributed to the creation of the Manuals. It is possible to access the full text (or video) of the interviews by following the links in the page on “issues” and/or from the “Manuals“.
Not all the Partners have completed the upload and link of their interviews to the Issues and to the manuals, some are still doing it. If they require support on “how to do it” they can ask Wilma Massucco
