This dissertation is an analytical portrait of life on the new <italic> frontier</italic>. This frontier might be characterized by the ways in which individuals, groups of individuals, and sovereign states have been educating, informing and reproducing their individual visions of international, transnational, and global order. I focus on the role that foreign English teachers have played in Tokyo since the 1960s, wherein a hybrid vision of global society has been evolving and disseminating outward. I have attempted to highlight the complex attributes of a contemporary struggle, which is engaged not just between Japanese and foreigners, but between individuals of all kinds. It is a struggle between the common people and the state, between the rich and the poor, between teachers and students, producers and consumers, workers and management, between men and women, between political ideologies, between social minorities and moral majorities, and between different generations of all groups. The extremely violent episode that has characterized historic US-Japan relations, and the ensuing struggle for peaceful cooperation since the war has enlisted individuals who in previous eras may never have had the opportunity to engage in such international ideological confrontation. In our new era, this struggle may be playing out as a complex combination of acceptance and resistance to global homogenization. Out of this struggle are evolving new and innovative pedagogical practices, which differ from the systematized and regulated endeavors of nation-states. Such endeavors often advocate measures to bridge the differences that separate Japan from other nations by improving foreign language skills, promoting greater exchange of personnel, and developing a sense of world citizenship and global community. However, these endeavors also paradoxically stress the uniqueness, and hence separateness, of each other's cultures. The resulting discourse seems animated by the sense of ambivalence about both foreigners' and Japanese new cultural identity, an ambivalence that generates anxiety about each other being judged inferior, on the one hand, while supporting feelings of cultural, and ultimately racial, superiority on the other. Finally, the role that foreign teachers play as dual agents for the convergence and divergence of this new global ideology is examined.
