ABSTRACT
The appeal is largely to symbols of the gradually emerging world community, and therefore represents an attempt to influence attitudes rather than institutions, to build the climate of world community which must necessarily form the background of future world institutions. Mundialization involved persuading the City Councillors to pass a By-Law stating that the community wished to live in peace with other communities in the world under a World Government or a system of World Law or some other synonym. Mundialization, modified to include the flying of the UN flag, voluntary subscriptions for the UN and town twinning, could become part of a chain reaction for peace to bind the world together. Town-twinning is a people-to-people program, with projects carried out not only by the municipal governments, but by schools and citizens' organizations of all types. Japan has witnessed the most rapid and extensive growth in mundialization.
