As the global economy has developed, we have seen severe competition and polarisation in income distribution. With this drastic change in the economic system, creativity with a high market value has come to be considered the main source of competiveness. In addition to the improvement of competitiveness, however, we are required to work toward fairness in society. This series covers research on creative economies that are based on humanity and spirituality to enhance the competitiveness, sustainability, peace, and fairness of international society. We define a creative economy as a socio-economic system that promotes those creative activities with a high market value and leads to the improvement of society’s overall well-being. Through this series, we intend to propose various policy recommendations that contribute to the prosperity of international society and improve the well-being of mankind by clarifying the concrete actions that are needed.
