- Takeshi Utsumi
Takeshi Utsumi is a dedicated former
Fulbright Scholar who has, for some decades, devoted himself to experimenting with and demonstrating thetechnology that can bring neededlearning ,health care and perhaps "peace to everyone on our planet." He is the founder andvice president for "Technology and Coordination" of the Global University System, and is the co-editor of a newbook about that project, "Global Peace Through The Global University System". The book has beenpublished at theUniversity of Tampere inFinland .Because of his
belief that the spread ofeducation is essential for ultimate global peace, Utsumi decided to find people with similar thoughts and to spread these beliefs. Beginning as an individual, Utsumi built ane-mail network from the "bottom-up" of people who share the dream. These people then began to join him in experiments and demonstrations of possibilities for usinginformation technologies to bring affordable, essential learning to those parts of thedeveloping world that have been difficult to reach.Peace gaming is aneologism coined by Utsumi to describe non-military global simulations, or simulations that involve both military and civilian variables.ources
