The cover immediately attracts the eye and you can’t help but read the various article summaries that surround the model.

I worry when reading the cover that some of the articles will be misleading to a naïve audience who may take the information provided as factual instead…

Finally, let me briefly discuss about the theoretical implication of the cosmopolitan publics that I have employed to analyze the Japanese experience of the global Sixties movement. As discussed, the concept was to capture cultural and communicational aspect of the social movements that cuts across the national border. If resituating this concept within the literature of global and transnational sociology, first of all, it was intended to focus on the aspects that have been neglected in the…
