    GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS IN AN ERA OF STRATEGIC UNCERTAINTY: PROSPECTS FOR US–ROK COOPERATION GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS IN AN ERA OF STRATEGIC UNCERTAINTY: PROSPECTS FOR US-ROK COOPERATION Dr. Miyeon Oh Dr. Robert Dohner Dr. Trey Herr I ATLANTIC COUNCIL Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security The Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security works to develop sustainable, nonpartisan strategies to address the most important security challenges facing the United States and the world. The Center honors General Brent Scowcroft’s legacy of service and embodies his ethos of nonpartisan commitment to the cause of security, support for US leadership in cooperation with allies and partners, and dedication to the mentorship of the next generation of leaders. The Scowcroft Center’s Asia Security Initiative promotes forward-looking strategies and constructive solutions for the most pressing issues affecting the Indo-Pacific region, particularly the rise of China, in order to enhance cooperation between the United States and its regional allies and partners. The mission of ASI is help the United States better work with Asian allies and partners in responding to the rise of China. Its mission is also to translate US policy objectives and strategic aims into nuanced messages to Asian stakeholders that incorporate Indo-Pacific voices in order to foster a community of like-minded nations committed to adapting and defending the rules-based international system. In service of these efforts, ASI leverages its mission, method, and talent to provide purposeful programming to address traditional strategic issues in the Indo-Pacific while also developing insight into emerging challenges in non-traditional areas such as global supply chains, changing trade architecture, infrastructure development, energy security, digital connectivity, and advanced technologies that are increasingly impacting the realm of national security.

In the first place, I express my deepest gratitude to Professor Eun-Jeung Lee, who has provided unrelenting guidance and support at all times, and to whom I owe courage for conceiving and completing this dissertation. I also thank Professor Sabine Kropp and Professor Hannes Mosler for their erudite comments, eager availability, true patience, and genuine encouragement. I also thank the faculty, affiliates, and colleagues of the Graduate School of East Asian Studies at the Freie Universität Berlin for their warm presence and collective dynamic, from which I have learned how to receive and give cooperation as a colleague. I have benefited endlessly from their myriad support and will treasure the experience. I thank Professor Gregory Jackson for his formative teaching and his untiring graciousness to engage with my curious questions, and Professor Verena Blechinger-Talcott for her universal feedback and support. This dissertation’s computational methods presented a steep learning curve, which was tangibly accelerated by precious computer science input from Hoon Jung, Norman Hein, JinYeong Bak, Suin Kim, Jaewon Kim, and Christian Blum in chronological order.

  • COVID-19: South Korea*
    Policy & Institutional Responses to COVID-19: South Korea* Editor’s Note: The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) COVID-19 Response Project focuses on governmental public health and economic policy responses designed to combat the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic in MENA countries. In this regard, the project has reviewed efforts by countries outside the MENA region to combat the virus as a means of informing its work more broadly. Here, the successful case of South Korea serves as a best practice comparator for the MENA countries covered in this series. The inclusion of South Korea in this series aims to help MENA policy makers improve response protocols to pandemics and other crises. Summary While South Korea has suffered from several waves of the COVID-19 pandemic, its public health system has been able to combat outbreaks effectively, limiting their spread and duration. In part, this was managed through restrictions on international travel, school closures, targeted suspensions of public gatherings, and closures of public entertainment venues. The primary focus of the South Korean approach, however, has been a system of testing, contact tracing, and quarantine supported by mobile technology and data analytics. The efficacy of its approach to COVID-19 suppression has been enabled by effective communications with the public and widespread public compliance with masking, physical distancing, and hygiene recommendations. Importantly, South Korea has managed the pandemic without having to implement any economy-wide closures or stay-at-home orders, helping families and businesses weather the economic costs associated with the pandemic. Given its geographic proximity to China, and significant trade and tourism between the two countries, South Korea was vulnerable to the early spread of the novel coronavirus.

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.

    The Judicial Remedy's Unful®lled Potential: Curing the Pain of Historical Atrocities in the South Korean-Japanese Context KEMENG FAN* INTRODUCTION With a nearly nuclear-capable North Korea and the increasingly assertive China and Russia, Northeast Asia has long been a place of crucial strategic con- cern for the United States.1 But at this moment, Japan and South KoreaÐtwo of the most critical U.S. allies in the regionÐare ®ghting against each other. Ever since Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's government made a decision on July 4, 2019, to restrict the export of three chemicals essential to South Korea's all- important electronics industry, a trade war has been raging on between the neigh- bors.2 However, in a world now growing accustomed to trade wars, this particular dispute stands out because it originates not from a commercial contention, but from a court of law's decision over a grave historical matter. In December 2018, South Korea's Supreme Court handed down a decision against New Nippon Steel, a large Japanese corporation, ordering the company to compensate four Korean plaintiffs who worked for the defendant as forced laborers during the Second World War (the ªNew Nippon Steel Caseº).3 While the plaintiffs and their families saw the high court's action as the belated work of justice, the defendant, as well as the Japanese government, protested against the * J.D., Georgetown University Law Center (expected May 2021); B.A., Boston College (2017). © 2020, Kemeng Fan. 1.

    Exploring Korean Elementary School Teachers’ Perspectives on Teaching and the Teaching Profession under the Influence of the Global Educational Reform Movement Jiyoung Kim A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2020 Reading Committee: Ken Zeichner, Chair Kara Jackson Emily Machado Program authorized to offer degree: College of Education © Copyright 2020 Jiyoung Kim 2 University of Washington Abstract Exploring Korean Elementary School Teachers’ Perspectives on Teaching and the Teaching Profession under the Influence of the Global Educational Reform Movement Jiyoung Kim Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Ken Zeichner, Boeing Professor of Teacher Education College of Education This qualitative study examined teachers’ perspectives on teaching and the teaching profession in light of recent educational reforms (2008 - 2016) in South Korea. As has been the case in many other countries, the educational reforms in Korea were heavily influenced by the Global Educational Reform Movement (GERM). The common features of GERM are increasing competition among schools; standardization in education; focus on core subjects; test-based accountability; and school choice. While many international and comparative studies have become interested in the education systems of top performing countries, like Korea, on PISA tests, little attention has been paid by international scholars to each nation’s distinct context and how that context may have had a significant impact
