Introductory Comments
Tradition and Innovation― In retrospect of our 70th anniversary activities and events ―Yoshiharu KUWANA
Acting Member of the Board(Professor Emeritus, J. F. Oberlin University)
As we have informed you, in 2020
The Union of National Economic
Associations in Japan marked the 70th
anniversary of its founding. We are an
academic society with ‘tradition andhistory’ accumulated by our numerous
senior members by their deep wisdom
and tireless efforts. I would like to takethis opportunity to look back upon theunderway to hold the annual
commemorative lecture. However, inthe winter of 2019, a new type ofcoronavirus broke out in China andspread instantly around the world,
becoming a pandemic.
A state of emergency was declaredin our country as well, forcing thecancellation of large events andproject launched to celebrate oursociety’s 70th anniversary, which wehave been working on up to the present.
In the past, The Union has planned
and implemented commemorative
projects on its milestone occasions suchas its 30th and 50th anniversaries. Thistime, too, while continuing the Union's

meetings, the shift of university classes
online, and remote work at theworkplace, all of which became the newnormal. At first, we did not naturally
expect the situation to be prolonged, andwe were searching for the best time tohold the commemorative lecture;
however, the COVID-19 situation"tradition" of adhering to academism, aproject team was established by the
Board of Directors in the springtime of2019 to seek solutions and proposals forvarious issues arising from changes inthe economic and social environment inthis new era, and preparations were

showed no signs of ending, and we wereforced to abandon the traditionalcommemorative lecture and consider a
new commemorative project. We
decided to plan a new commemorative
project that would be appropriate for thecurrent digital age, and that would use

digital technology to disseminate the

To date, we have 9 societies

activities of our association to a wider
public. This led to web publication andthe creation of our YouTube channel,
two projects that could be called
revolutionary for our association.
Both Web Publishing and YouTube
started in April 2021 as an invitation tomember societies to make voluntary

contributing to our web publication and
15 content videos on our YouTube
channel. We would like to once again
thank the societies that have contributedand provided the contents. These two
projects will continue even after thecommemorative period ends. We lookforward to receiving contributions andcontributions and provide contents forthese venues. The web publication isbased on the unified theme of "Toward
the Creation of a Sustainable Economic
Society in the 21st Century”, and the
You Tube channel will be used to freely
create and distribute video contents on
topics such as introductions for therespective academic societies, annual

video contents from even moreacademic societies in the future.
Since the outbreak of the newcoronavirus, Japan has been criticizedfrom various sectors for falling behindadvanced Western countries indigitalization, but now DX (Digital
Transformation) is rapidly progressing.
We hope that these two projects will be
