  • The Difficult Japan-South Korea Relations As Clash of Realities Taku Tamaki

    The Difficult Japan-South Korea Relations As Clash of Realities Taku Tamaki

    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Loughborough University Institutional Repository It Takes Two to Tango: The Difficult Japan-South Korea Relations as Clash of Realities Taku Tamaki Abstract: Why do Japan-South Korea relations remain difficult despite several efforts to overcome the past? Elite narratives in Japan and South Korea reify the bilateral relationship as a difficulty due to troublesome and insincere neighbour. For the Japanese policy elites, the difficulty is due to troublesome South Koreans unwilling to embrace future-oriented relationship; whereas for the South Korean policy elites, the insincere Japanese unwilling to address past wrong-doing is the source of the problem. The result is a self-fulfilling prophecy of an intractable mutual misapprehension, suggesting that the difficult relationship is here to stay. I analyze pronouncements by both the Japanese- and South Korean policy elites appearing in official documents and media reports for clues into the manner in which the bilateral relationship is reified into a difficulty purportedly due to the recalcitrance of the neighbour. The narratives consistently show that both the Japanese- and South Korean policy elites consider the onus of improvement lies with the troublesome/insincere neighbour. In short, the bilateral relationship is a clash of realities, with the logical conclusion being that the difficult relationship will persist for the foreseeable future. Difficulty underpins the bilateral relationship between Japan and South Korea. The difficulty is normally considered a given, being treated as a starting point for discussions. However, if difficulty is so pervasive, then we need an account exploring the underlying conditions that perpetuate difficulty.
  • Measuring the Level of Political System Literacy

    Measuring the Level of Political System Literacy

    MEASURING THE LEVEL OF POLITICAL SYSTEM LITERACY THROUGH THE ELECTION PLEDGES OF SOUTH KOREAN ELECTORAL CANDIDATES Yeon-soo Shim Institute of Humanities and Social Sciences, Honam University, Gwangju, South Korea, 62399 Email: [email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT I analyze unfamiliar aspects of the political system in the South Korean local elections held on June 13, 2018. In particular, an analysis of the election promises made by the mayoral candidates of Gwangju Metropolitan City and superintendent candidates of the Gwangju Metropolitan Office of Education suggest that they lack political system literacy, a concept that is defined in general and as a means of cultivating democracy in South Korea. The election promises presented to voters are analyzed in terms of political system literacy in relation to current issues in city governance and to problems in public education. One conclusion from this analysis is that better efforts must be made to educate the future leaders of the South Korean political system from an early age to improve their political system literacy. Keywords: system literacy, political system literacy, election promises, South Korean politics, Gwangju Metropolitan City Ⅰ. INTRODUCTION For the past two decades the Republic of Korea has employed a democratic political system in a president-centered division of power among the branches and geographical divisions of government, with periodic elections at most levels. Under the current constitution, the revision of which has become a constant topic of debate in Korea, the election for a five-year unrepeatable presidential term usually does not coincide with the four-year election cycles for local officials (province governors, metropolitan mayors, etc.) and members of the unicameral national legislature, with the local and legislative elections alternating in years ending with even numbers.

    The Pyeongchang Olympics and Solving the Korean Crisis with Goodwill Posted on 02 Mar·Ch 2018 Tags

    Received by NSD/FAR.t\ Registration Unit 09/26/2018 3:32:49 PM The PyeongChang Olympics and Solving the Korean Crisis with Goodwill Posted On 02 Mar·ch 2018 Tags. diplomacy By Casey Robinson In January, the South Korean government extended its hand to the Kim regime by offering high,level talks to d.iscuss North Korea's possible participation at the Winter Olympics, to which the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un responded positively and ordered a reopening of the Panmunjom hotline. The international community was generally optimistic towards this development. Even President Trump, who has shown a willingness to use force to protect American interests, commented that inter-Korean talks are a good thing and even suggested his willingness to speak with Kim Jong-un himself. Many acts of goodwill came from these high-level talks. North and South Korea agreed to participate as a unified team at the Winter Olympics under one flag with inter-Korean team practices in the North. In additfon, the United States rnay have also displayed a sign of goodwill by decreasing funding for human rights and freedom of information programs in North Korea. Decreasing its budget towards these issues may show the North Korean government thatthe United States is potentially no longer be interested in undermining the Kim regime. However, the Moon administration's attempt at rapprochement with North Korea may only be good for the short0 term, until the closing of the Winter Olympics. Without the incentive of sports diplomacy, all three governments may likely return to provocations as there is no sense of confidence in their respective adversary.
  • The Evolution of Place Marketing

    The Evolution of Place Marketing

    THE EVOLUTION OF PLACE MARKETING : Focusing on Korean Place Marketing and Its Changing Political Context Submitted by MYUNG-SEOP LEE to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Geography July 2012 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material had previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ……………………………………………………………….. Abstract Over the last three decades, within the context of globalisation and intensified inter- urban competition, we have observed the growing use of market-centred strategy such as ‘marketing or branding places’. Despite the worsening of the economic situation since the 2008 global financial crisis, the overall trend of expansion of place marketing based on marketing science keeps going further in many cities in South Korea. Why does this phenomenon happen? How can we interpret it at this time? What does this mean for the cities and their residents? In order to answer these questions, this thesis attempts to understand the process of place marketing projects, and analyse how they were politically formed and what their actual effects were for residents. In addition, it develops a critical understanding of the evolution of urban place marketing projects from the political perspective in Gwangju, South Korea: the Gwangju Biennale, the Asian Culture Complex, the Dome Baseball Stadium, the Urban Folly, and the Gwangju Universiade 2015.
