    Claremont Colleges Scholarship @ Claremont CMC Senior Theses CMC Student Scholarship 2015 An Idealist's Journey: George Clayton Foulk and U.S.-Korea Relations, 1883-1887 Joohyun Kim Claremont McKenna College Recommended Citation Kim, Joohyun, "An Idealist's Journey: George Clayton Foulk and U.S.-Korea Relations, 1883-1887" (2015). CMC Senior Theses. Paper 1119. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1119 This Open Access Senior Thesis is brought to you by Scholarship@Claremont. It has been accepted for inclusion in this collection by an authorized administrator. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Claremont McKenna College An Idealist's Journey: George Clayton Foulk and U.S.-Korea Relations, 1883-1887 submitted to Professor Arthur L. Rosenbaum and Dean Nicholas Warner by Joohyun Kim for Senior Thesis Spring 2015 April 27, 2015 Abstract This senior thesis studies the character and influence of a young American naval officer and diplomat. George Clayton Foulk, the 1st Naval Attaché to the United States Legation and the 2nd U.S. Minister to Korea, brought his intellectual ability and passion to this East Asian country. He hoped for Korea to become an independent, modernized state. Due to the strong Chinese opposition and lack of assistance from the U.S. government, Foulk failed to realize his dream and left Korea in disgrace. However, his service instilled a positive image of America in the minds of many Koreans. By closely examining his letters and journals, this thesis brings an image of a cosmopolitan who expressed genuine understanding of and sympathy for Korea. More importantly, this thesis introduces his vision that America must become an exceptional country which spreads its values across the world through peaceful means.

  • Leisure Port Development in the Incheon Area: Concepts and Benchmarks
    JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LOGISTICS AND TRADE 5 Volume 2, Number I, 2004, pp. 5-45 Leisure Port Development in the Incheon Area: Concepts and Benchmarks Marc L. Miller' and Sung-Gwi Kim" ABSTRACT In concert with an ambitious national agenda that emphasizes free trade and globalization, lncheon Metropolitan City is taking the first steps toward reinventing itself to become a twenty-first century "Pentaport" with integrated Seaport, Airport, Technoport, Business Port, and Leisure Port components. The lncheon Pentaport transformation-projected to be complete by 2020-will entail significant industrial, sociological, and institutional modification. Leisure Port objectives can be achieved through responsible planning attuned to the ideal of sustainable development and by empirical studies of lncheon tourism and leisure dynamics. International benchmarks of leisure port success are found in Sydney, Australia; Vancouver, Canada; and San Diego, USA, among seven other cosmopolitan cities. Growth estimations for coastal ferry passengers; beach use; recreational vessels and yachts in the lncheon region are encouraging. lncheon Leisure Port development of ten amenity destinations will require equal and multidisciplinary attention to questions of tourism design and tourism impacts. Important issues will concern environmental quality, clean shipping practices, the proper balance of modem and traditional amenities and attractions, trade-offs of cultural homogeneity and cultural diversity, and creative destination branding and marketing, among others. Keywords: lncheon, Leisure, Leisure Port, Pentaport, Tourism, Sustainable Development. "A world-economy always has an urban center of gravity, a city, as the logistic heart of its activity." -- Fernand Braudel (1984: 27) Butterflies come to pretty flowers. -- Korean proverb • Professor, School of Marine Affairs, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington, USA.

  • Imperialism (1800-1914) the Industrialized Nations Embarked Upon a Competition for Overseas Empires That Had Profound Implications for the Entire World
    Bringing Korea in to the Classroom: Lesson Plan Name: Dan Harris Lesson Title: The Consequences of Western Imperial Policy in Asia: A Comparison of the Treaty of Kangwha (1876) to the Treaty of Kanagawa (1854) Time Range: 1-2 class periods (approximately 60 minutes) Ohio Standards: Imperialism (1800-1914) The industrialized nations embarked upon a competition for overseas empires that had profound implications for the entire world. This “new imperialism” focused on the underdeveloped world and led to the domination and exploitation of Asia, Africa and Latin America Ohio Benchmarks: 11. Imperialism involved land acquisition, extraction of raw materials, the spread of Western values, and maintenance of political control. 12. The consequences of imperialism were viewed differently by the colonizers and the colonized Grade Level Indicators: History 9 Introduction/Lesson Summary: Emerging on the tail end of the Age of Industrialization (19th Century), the Age of Imperialism (1800-1914) saw the globalization of Western policies, culture, and economics. This was seen as progress by the Western nations and was heralded as the key to “modernizing” the global marketplace. As more nations took part in this global scramble for markets of goods and resources, lesser-developed nations began taking up similar practices as a means of coping (if not competing) with the Imperial powers. According to Asia for Educators: Imperialism: Western and Japanese By the mid-nineteenth century Korea was one of the last Asian holdouts against Western imperialism, which had conquered much of southern Asia and was making inroads on China. Vietnam, which like Korea was a close tributary state to China, had been conquered by the French in the 1860s.

  • Soh-Joseon-Kingdom.Pdf
    Asia-Pacific Economic and Business History Conference, Berkeley, 2011 (Feb. 18-20): Preliminary Draft Institutional Differences and the Great Divergence:* Comparison of Joseon Kingdom with the Great Britain Soh, ByungHee Professor of Economics Kookmin University, Seoul, Korea e-mail: [email protected] Abstract If modern Koreans in the 20th century could achieve a remarkable economic growth through industrialization, why couldn’t their ancestors in Joseon Kingdom in early modern period achieve an industrial revolution at that time? This is the fundamental question of this paper. There existed several social and institutional constraints in Joseon Kingdom (1392-1897 A.D.) in the 17th through 19th centuries that made her industrial development impossible. The strictly defined social classes and the ideology of the ruling class deprived Joseon Kingdom of the entrepreneurial spirit and the incentives to invent new technology necessary for industrial development. Markets and foreign trades were limited and money was not used in transaction until late 17th century. Technicians and engineers were held in low social esteem and there was no patent to protect an inventor’s right. The education of Confucian ethical codes was intended to inculcate loyalty to the ruling class Yangban and the King. The only way to get out of the hard commoner’s life was to pass the national civil service examination to become a scholar-bureaucrat. Joseon Kingdom was a tributary country to Qing Dynasty and as such it had to be careful about technological and industrial development not to arouse suspicion from Qing. Joseon was not an incentivized society while the Great Britain was an incentivized society that was conducive to Industrial Revolution.

    Exiled Envoys: Korean Students in New York City, 1907-1937 Jean H. Park Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2021 © 2021 Jean H. Park All Rights Reserved Abstract Exiled Envoys: Korean Students in New York City, 1907-1937 Jean H. Park This dissertation follows the activism of Korean students in New York City and the trajectory of their American education as it applied to Korea’s colonization under the Empire of Japan. As a focused historical account of the educational experiences of Korean students in New York from 1907 to 1937, this dissertation uses archival evidence from their associations, correspondence, publications, and the institutions they studied at to construct a transnational narrative that positions the Korean students operating within and outside the confines of their colonial experience. The following dissertation answers how the Korean students applied their American education and experiences to the Korean independence movement, and emphasizes the interplay of colonization, religion, and American universities in contouring the students’ activism and hopes for a liberated Korea.
