ABSTRACT
This short essay offers ways for emancipation from outstanding problems facing the world through a new global perspective. It proposes four approaches: Universalizing the issues, resolving them through supranationalism, emancipating with good governance, and expanding global alliances. The real emphasis is to embrace a universal vision – neither Western nor Asian, and to urge nations to work together to make the world more sustainable and human-centric. The essay bears in mind that the faith in international institutions needs to engage several decades of critiques and accept that countries like Japan and South Korea and the vast Indian middle class are entirely different from the rest of Asia. But while it is difficult to treat all societies as unity, it is a humble effort of this essay to call for diverse nations to engage with one another as they are encountering new threats that require consensus and joint endeavor.
