In Edo era, Buddhism gained dominance over Shinto and Christianity due to the control of religion by Tokugawa Shougunate. However, as economy and culture developed, Confucianism and Kokugaku would later rise to challenge the dominance of Buddhism. Part of these challenges manifest as antiBuddhism thoughts, in which the Kokugakubased branch is represented by Hirata Atsutane. Hirata Atsutane gained the Buddhism historical knowledge for his antiBuddhism theories from the Daijo Hibussetsu (“Mahayana is not the teaching of the Buddha”) Theory in Tominaga Nakamotos Shutsujyoukougo. He then developed his own Kokugakubased anti-Buddhism theories from a Fukko Shinto viewpoint via the addition of Shinto values in his Buddhism criticism book, Shutsujyoushougo.

In the early Meiji period, the government carried out the campaign of citizenscultivation, which was jointly undertaken by Shinto and Buddhism, so that it could control its people spiritually. During this period, disputes over the “Three Criteria” of disseminating “ doctrines ” arose between the two sides. These disputes led to not only the failure of the campaign, but also the dissociation of the religious characteristics, making Shinto “nonreligious”, which means the theory of “Shinto cannot be classified as traditional religions ” was formed. Furthermore, this theory also heralded the direction of Shinto and opened the way for the establishment of the Kokkashinto with “nonreligious” characteristics.

In recent years, cases of overseas Japanese being kidnapped and killed by extremist terrorist organizations have occurred frequently, and overseas Japanese and Japanese companies investing overseas are facing a severe security test. To this end , the Japanese government has to seriously deal with the harassment of terrorism and increase the intensity of international counterterrorism cooperation. At present, Japan focuses on multilateral, regional and bilateral aspects of international antiterrorism cooperation. Japan vigorously carries out international antiterrorism cooperation, with its deep-seated purposes, mainly including finding legitimate reasons for amending the Constitution at home and sending troops overseas; taking the opportunity to expand Japans marine geopolitical influence; ensuring Japans energ security; and providing security guarantees for the successful hosting of the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2020. Japans international antiterrorism cooperation inevitably has its limitations due to its serious “closeness to the United States”. Japan does not have its own counterterrorism strategy, and will face more and more serious counterterrorism problems and challenges in the future.

As the American hegemony declines, globalization and regional integration have gained momentum, and international regimes of different levels have undertaken the main responsibility of supplying the global public goods. Regional public goods, as a supplement to global public goods in the region, plays an Important role. It either competes with global public goods or complements it. In terms of Northeast Asia marine environment governance, the two regimes have some differences in principles and norms. In this sense, the supply of public goods tends to follow a pathway in which the two levels of governance complement each other. In this mutually complementary multi-level way of supply, under the principles of correspondence and subsidiarity, the two different regimes interact in a positive way, which could be regarded as an effective method to tackle the inefficiency of public goods supply.
