Due to this preliminary nature, references will generally be given not in a specific way, but rather in a summarized way. I am grateful to many people who kindly read earlier versions of my manuscript including the Japanese version: Professor Nicholas Onuf, Professor Jrg Fisch, Professor Benedict Kingsbury, Professor Yogesh Tyagi, Professor Watanabe Hiroshi, Professor Magami Toshiki, Professor Moteki Toshio, Professor Suzuki Tadasu, Professor Nitta Ichiro, Professor Morozumi Yoshiaki, Professor Matsubara Kentaro, Ms Besty Roeben, Mr Gregory Ellis, Mr Saito Tamitomo, Ms Huh Sookyeon and Mr Richard Small. Given the enormity of the task, I am fully aware of the limits of my knowledge and ability to theorize. I will welcome comments from the reader and take them into account for my future book. In this article, I seek to express the order of the name given according to the proper way respective of culture. For example, Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Vietnamese names generally appear with family name preceding given name.
