  This international symposium, Beyond Global Capitalism, attempts to identify theories and strategies for overcoming the worldwide problems that have been caused by global capitalism since the 1970s or 1980s. To this end, we invite outstanding scholars and analysts from all over the world to Kyoto, the former capital of Japan, to share their important analyses, theories, and political suggestions during discussions aimed at moving beyond global capitalism. More than 1200 years old, the history of Kyoto far exceeds that of global capitalism. We are certain that the discussions among the outstanding scholars and analysts who gather in Kyoto will contribute to the development of theoretical and practical frameworks for a global economy that moves beyond global capitalism and contributes to the development of a stable, rich, and resilient economy and society that enhances the well-being of people all over the world during the 21st century.
