  • Korea's Royal Families: Presidential Politics And
    KOREA’S ROYAL FAMILIES: PRESIDENTIAL POLITICS AND THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF CHAEBŎL REFORM A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI'I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN ASIAN STUDIES MAY 2014 By Rob York Thesis Committee: Young-a Park, chairperson Jun Yoo Sang-Hyop Lee Keywords: Korea, Asian Studies, corporate governance, politics © 2014, Robert J. York 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The completion of this thesis would not have been possible without the support of many individuals, namely my academic advisor, Young-a Park and committee members Jun Yoo and Sang-Hyop Lee. Each supplied a wealth of knowledge and gave generously of their time during this process, and I’m grateful to the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa for gathering many knowledgeable Korea specialists onto one campus. Finally, I want to thank my wife and family for their support during the completion of this degree. 3 ABSTRACT For decades South Korean politicians, pundits, and citizens have criticized the chaebŏl, the massive, family-owned conglomerates who take up a disproportionate share of the nation’s wealth and who use their influence to avoid penalties for law-breaking. However, political considerations, as well as the chaebŏl’s role in Korea’s post-war economic miracle, have caused reform efforts to fizzle once presidential candidates make their way into office. This thesis analyzes scholarly assessments of Korea’s presidents, their policies on economy and finance, and the political considerations each faced in dealing with the large business groups. It challenges the claims of these business groups, and their supporters, of the chaebŏl’s indispensability by comparing Korea to Taiwan, which enjoyed similar successes by fostering smaller businesses.

  • The Koreans: Who They Are, What They Want, Where Their Future Lies
    Review: The Koreans: Who They Are, What They Want, Where Their Future Lies Mark P. Barry October 12, 2015 The Koreans: Who They Are, What They Want, Where Their Future Lies, rev. ed., by Michael Breen, New York: Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s Griffin, 2004. Adapted from the Journal of Unification Studies, vol. VI, 2004-2005, pp. 165-68. This book review is posted on the occasions of the 70th anniversary of North Korea’s Worker’s Party, held on October 10, and South Korean President Park Geun-hye’s October 16 summit in Washington with President Obama, both of which may have implications for the future of the peninsula.◊ Although originally targeted for foreign business readers, Michael Breen’s The Koreans has emerged as a modern-day classic on the Korean character and culture. It is often recommended by Korean studies scholars, alongside such earlier general works as the late Donald S. Macdonald’s Koreans: Contemporary Politics and Society (now in its third edition, revised by Donald Clark). In its 1999 Korean translation from the original 1998 UK edition, The Koreans rocketed to the top ten list of Korea’s bestsellers, revealing Koreans’ own enthusiasm to understand themselves from an outsider’s perspective. The U.S. hardcover edition also appeared in 1999, and the 2004 paperback edition reviewed here is slightly revised with a new chapter on events since 2000. Breen, a British journalist, originally went to South Korea as The Washington Times’ Seoul correspondent. He ended up living there, during which time he also served for three years as president of the Seoul Foreign Correspondents Club, and wrote for The Guardian and The Times of London.

  • Religion and Science in Three New Religious Movements
    Storming the Gates of the Temple of Science: Religion and Science in Three New Religious Movements Benjamin E. Zeller A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Philosophy in the Department of Religious Studies. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Prof. Yaakov Ariel Prof. Laurie Maffly-Kipp Prof. Thomas A. Tweed Prof. Seymour Mauskopf Prof. Grant Wacker © 2007 Benjamin E. Zeller ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Benjamin E. Zeller: Storming the Gates of the Temple of Science: Religion and Science in Three New Religious Movements (Under the direction of Prof. Yaakov Ariel) This dissertation considers how three new religious movements—the Hare Krishnas, Unification Church, and Heaven’s Gate—treated the concept of science and the relation of science to religion and the wider society. Each of the three religions offered a distinct position on the nature of science and how religion and science ought to interact. All of the three new religions understood their views of science as crucial to their wider theological views and social stances. And, in each of these new religious movements, the nature and meaning of science served a central role in the group’s self-understanding and conceptualization. Because the roles and boundaries of science so concerned each of the groups, their founders, leaders, and ordinary members offered both implicit and explicit re-envisionings of science. These views developed out of each group’s historical circumstances and theological positions, but also evolved in concert with concurrent social developments and cultural influences.

  • As a Peace-Loving Global Citizen”: a Review of the Autobiography of the Rev
    “AS A PEACE-LOVING GLOBAL CITIZEN”: A REVIEW OF THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF THE REV. SUN MYUNG MOON by George D. Chryssides (University of Birmingham, U.K.) A paper presented at the CESNUR 2011 International Conference in Danshui, Taiwan. Please do not quote or reproduce without the consent of the author. Identities and autobiographies What makes me the person I am? To think of the self in philosophical terms of minds and bodies does not touch on the distinctiveness of being myself. The real “me”, as distinct from other people, lies in the narratives that I construct for myself. The social psychologist Jerome Bruner describes such narratives of identity as “that swarm of participations that distributes Self across its occasions of use” (Bruner, 1990:122). A biography or an autobiography seeks to give a meaning or identity to someone’s life, and in doing so selects successive parts of a narrative to construct the subject’s identity position. In his article “Narrative and Memory” David Hiles (2007) distinguishes between “bounded” and “unbounded” motifs in a narrative. The former he calls the fabula — the content of the story — and the latter the sjuzet, which is the form, or, as he puts it, the window through which I enable the reader or the listener to see the events within my narrative. Thus, an autobiographer must decide what best sums up his or her true self. Am I the impenitent sinner, the incurable optimist, the mad professor, the innocent victim, the alienated, or maybe some combination of these? These are all “windows” through which the autobiographer might try to reveal his or her life: they are the author’s constructions, and they are “unbounded” — the possibilities are numerous.

  • Park Geun-Hye's Election As President of South Korea: Implications For
    Park Geun-hye’s Election as President of South Korea: Implications for Northeast Asia 129 Park Geun-hye’s Election as President of South Korea: Implications for Northeast Asia Ming Lee Professor, Department of Diplomacy, National Chengchi University Abstract Park Geun-hye, the first female South Korean president, has brought immense implications to South Korean internal politics as well as external relations. Park’s future foreign policy especially will have a great impact on Northeast Asian international relations judging from her mandate as the responsible politician with years of intensive self-training and keen visions into world affairs. The current Korean Peninsula and its adjacent areas are particularly unstable due to the complicated interaction of competitive nations, which are superpowers (like the United States and Russia), regional powers (like China and Japan), and middle powers, along with unstable and provocative North Korea. In which way and to what extent Park Geun-hye will safeguard her country and interact with others, along with how Park will help to shift the international politics in Northeast Asia, will be one of the pivotal issues for the next five years. Keywords: Park Geun-hye, South Korea, North Korea, Korean Penin- sula, North-South Korean Relations 130 Prospect Journal No.9 I. Introduction December 19, 2012 was marked as a glorious day for Ms. Park Geun-hye, as she was elected the new president of the Republic of Korea (ROK, or South Korea), and she would be the hostess of the Chungwadae (Blue House, where the South Korean Presidents live) for the next five years.

THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF CORPORATE LAW AND GOVERNANCE: AMERICAN AND KOREAN RULES UNDER DIFFERENT ENDOGENOUS CONDITIONS AND FORMS OF CAPITALISM Robert J. Rhee* Advanced economies operate under different forms of capitalism and social order. Corporate law is fixed only insofar as a country's political economy and social organization are static. This article explains why an advanced economy may choose inefficient rules. Korean rules are the product of past industrial development policies and current social-political-economic conditions; endogenous conditions align corporate law with nationalisticsentiments and the public interest. The cost of this policy is diminution of firm value. The benefit is the erection of a plausible distinction between rule- and fact-based control of key corporate groups.

    About the Author Michael Breen is a consultant and writer, who first went to Korea as a correspondent in 1982. He covered North and South Korea at different times for The Washington Times, The Guardian and The Times. He was the president of the Seoul Foreign Correspondents' Club for three years during South Korea's period of democratization, and has traveled widely in North Korea. He is married with three children, and lives in Sussex England. Sun Myung Moon, The Early Years, 1920-53 By Michael Breen Contents Acknowledgments 8 Preface 9 Note on Korean names and spelling 12 1.

In particular, I would like to thank Mark Setton, a scholar of Confucianism and Korean philosophy who lifted the original Concept out of the realm of debate and encouraged me to make it real. Without his conviction, the project would have never started. Likewise, Daniel Davies, a theologian and expert in Korean Christian history, whose enthusiastic interest in the research never wavered. Without his encouragement, the interviews would never have been written up and the book never printed. Among the hundreds of sources, several were especially generous with many hours of their time and put up with nit-picking questioning and telephone calls at odd hours.
