ANTI-AMERICANISM IN SOUTH KOREA, 1945-1992: A STRUGGLE FOR POSITIVE NATIONAL IDENTITY By Duk-Hwan Kim ABSTRACT The study of anti-Americanism began in earnest only in 1985. Since that time, functionalists have dominated the field with definitions that stress outward manifestations and varieties of anti-Americanism rather than causes. This study advocates a reorientation toward the emotional, social psychological foundations of anti-Americanism to understand how and why it arises and to determine what unites different varieties of the phenomenon. Accordingly, the discussion draws heavily upon recent perspectives in social psychology, psychology, and anthropology, with special emphasis on the applications of Henri Tajfel's social identity theory and Helen Lewis's shame theory. A new definition is offered which distinguishes between anti-Americanism and anti- American sentiments. Common to both, it is argued, is a shame-based anger that is aimed less at the United States and more at negative national self-images. The goal of anti- American movements is to reduce the considerable ambivalence 11 Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. inherent in anti-American sentiment by stressing American hypocrisy and immorality. Once this is achieved, these movements attempt to redefine the national identity in positive terms, without reference to U.S. standards of comparison. In addition to presenting a new interpretation of anti- Americanism, this study identifies the distinctive features of Korea's social and historical experience that contributed to the subsequent growth of anti-Americanism and anti- American sentiments — including a dependency-oriented patronage system that governed both domestic politics and Korea's relations with the outside world. The study then traces the ideological and organizational development of anti-Americanism as it fused with radical opposition to repressive government. In assessing the impact of this movement on college campuses, it is argued that anti- Americanism, along with Marxist rejection of American political and economic principles, gained the sympathy of most students. Measuring the prevalence of the more diffuse anti-American sentiments off-campus awaits refinements in survey questions. The study does attempt to demonstrate, in the meantime, that anti-American resentments are common within the general population. A summary of the sources of mistrust in Korean-U.S. relations leads to the conclusion that trust-building measures may mitigate bilateral tensions. Ultimately, however, the reduction of anti- iii Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. American sentiments depends on the ability of Koreans to find pride in their growing national accomplishments and to redefine their identities in terms of present abilities rather than past shortcomings. IV Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. PREFACE It is a rare Korean student of political science who fails to consider, at some point in his or her career, the state of South Korean-U.S. relations. Devout nationalists, Koreans are exceptionally attentive to matters affecting their country's development and its standing in the world community. And no other country has greater influence over South Korea's future than does the United States— as military ally, trading partner, a- . world leader. With my interest in international relations, it is especially understandable that I should have chosen as my dissertation topic some issue of importance to both South Korea and the United States. Anti-Americanism in South Korea seemed an appropriate choice since it had been conspicuously neglected by scholars in both countries, despite its troubling implications for both Washington and Seoul. What was less foreseeable to me was how much my studies would lead to a broader consideration of anti- Americanism. At first I hoped to understand why so much tension exists in a bilateral relationship cemented by a forty-year old military alliance and a history of close cooperation in matters of foreign policy and trade. But as I V Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. consulted comparative studies of anti-Americanism for insights, it occurred to me that the key to understanding the Korean-U.S. dilemma lay in perceiving the broader question of what anti-Americanism is, at bottom, how it spreads, and how it may be contained. The answers I found in general works on anti-Americanism were not satisfying. Most of the recent studies recognized that anti-Americanism is more than a momentary fit of pique at some wrongful or misguided U.S. policy or action, more than distaste for some offensive aspect of American culture. In many cases, anti- Americanism was described as a smoldering resentment that was not sparked by a failure to resolve discrete and narrow differences of interest with the United States. But what I wanted to know, and could not find in these studies, was a precise identification of what animates this smoldering resentment. This unsatisfied curiosity led to readings outside the field of political science and into psychology, social psychology, and anthropology. If I have shown insufficient understanding of the propositions encountered in these fields, I nevertheless hope that this attempt to apply their findings will spawn more productive efforts to understand anti-Americanism in all its forms. This dissertation is thus more a case study of anti- Americanism than it is the study of the specific social and political movement with which it became identified in South Korea. It does not offer as exhaustive treatment of vi Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner. Further reproduction prohibited without permission. opposition politics in South Korea. Rather, it seeks to identify and account for the similarities and differences between the anti-Americanism of radical activists and the milder, less consistent, anti-American sentiments of the general population. I hope at some later time to research more fully the anti-American sentiments of political conservatives in South Korea, as well as those of less politically-oriented groups such as the millenarian followers of Cheunasandc. My primary aim is to suggest a new approach to the study of anti-Americanism and, relatedly, nationalism. While most previous studies have focused outward at the manifestations

  • Electoral Politics in South Korea
    South Korea: Aurel Croissant Electoral Politics in South Korea Aurel Croissant Introduction In December 1997, South Korean democracy faced the fifteenth presidential elections since the Republic of Korea became independent in August 1948. For the first time in almost 50 years, elections led to a take-over of power by the opposition. Simultaneously, the election marked the tenth anniversary of Korean democracy, which successfully passed its first ‘turnover test’ (Huntington, 1991) when elected President Kim Dae-jung was inaugurated on 25 February 1998. For South Korea, which had had six constitutions in only five decades and in which no president had left office peacefully before democratization took place in 1987, the last 15 years have marked a period of unprecedented democratic continuity and political stability. Because of this, some observers already call South Korea ‘the most powerful democracy in East Asia after Japan’ (Diamond and Shin, 2000: 1). The victory of the opposition over the party in power and, above all, the turnover of the presidency in 1998 seem to indicate that Korean democracy is on the road to full consolidation (Diamond and Shin, 2000: 3). This chapter will focus on the role elections and the electoral system have played in the political development of South Korea since independence, and especially after democratization in 1987-88. Five questions structure the analysis: 1. How has the electoral system developed in South Korea since independence in 1948? 2. What functions have elections and electoral systems had in South Korea during the last five decades? 3. What have been the patterns of electoral politics and electoral reform in South Korea? 4.

Dissertation Advisor: Daniel Ziblatt Joan Eun Cho The Dictator’s Modernity Dilemma: Theory and Evidence from South Korea Abstract Under what conditions are political institutions more or less effective at neutralizing opposition forces? To date, political scientists have generated conflicting evidence about the effects of economic development and political institutions on democratization. I argue that the co-opting effect of institutions depends on the strength of opposition groups, which in turn hinges on socioeconomic changes that develop nonlinearly over time. This disserta- tion identifies the threshold at which the cumulative changes of modernization translate into mass mobilization against the incumbent authoritarian regime, and demonstrates that the timing of democratization is conditional on generational turnover in key groups in civil so- ciety.

    BAB I PENDAHULUAN I. 1. Latar Belakang Masalah Hallyu atau yang dikenal juga dengan Korean Wave merupakan sebuah terminologi yang digunakan untuk menggambarkan fenomena dunia hiburan Korea Selatan yang menarik perhatian berbagai negara yang ada di dunia dalam periode tahun 2002 hingga 2012 saat ini. Fenomena yang masih terus berkembang ini membuat negara tersebut dikenal sebagai Hollywood dari timur atau berberapa orang menyebutnya dengan istilah Hallyu-wood yang membawa jutaan penggemar khususnya di Asia (CNN.com, 2010). Kepopuleran ini juga tidak dapat lepas dari kebudayaan yang juga menarik perhatian para penikmatnya yang mana dikenal dengan istilah K-pop. Korean Wave diawali oleh kepopuleran drama-drama Korea pada tahun 2002. Film drama Winter Sonata yang dibintangi oleh Bae Yong Joon merupakan salah satu contoh film drama yang mempopulerkan negara Korea pada saat itu. Selain itu, seperti dilansir pada KNU Times (2012), pada tahun 2003, film yang bernama Dae Jang Geum yang dibintangi oleh Lee Young Ae juga merupakan salah satu film drama terkenal yang ditonton oleh 57% warga Korea dan menghasilkan $40 juta dari mancanegara pada saat film tersebut ditayangkan. Besarnya uang yang dihasilkan oleh drama ini tidak dapat lepas dari keberhasilan drama tersebut untuk meraih rating yang tinggi dari negara-negara yang menayangkannya. Beberapa contohnya dapat terlihat pada negara Hong Kong 1 yang mana film tersebut mencapai rating di atas 40% pada saat episode terakhir ditayangkan dan juga pada negara Iran yang tercatat bahwa drama ini pernah mencapai rating sebesar 90% (VANK, 2013). Tidak hanya dimulai dari kepopuleran drama-drama Korea, lagu-lagu Korea yang sering kali dikenal dengan K-pop music juga merupakan salah satu hal yang mengawali Korean wave.

  • Hallyu at a Crossroads: the Clash of Korea's Soft Power Success and China's Hard Power Threat in Light of Terminal High
    Asian International Studies Review Vol. 18 No.1 (June 2017): 153-169 153 Received March 15, 2017 Revised May 10, 2017 Accepted May 20, 2017 Hallyu at a Crossroads: The Clash of Korea’s Soft Power Success and China’s Hard Power Threat in Light of Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) System Deployment HANNAH JUN* The past two decades have witnessed the remarkable success of Hallyu, or the Korean Wave, with Korea welcoming a large influx of foreign visitors and benefiting from massive consumption of products ranging from Korean television and film, K-pop and lifestyle products. A more recent announcement by CJ E&M points to an even more aggressive plan for regional ubiquity, as encapsulated by Hallyu 4.0. Simultaneously, we have already felt some of the effect of policy changes in China – a core Hallyu market – as a response to Korea’s plan to deploy a Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system. In this sense, we see the stirrings of a clash between Korean soft power and Chinese hard power, and are uncertain who will emerge on top. This paper examines the broad success of Hallyu from key theoretical perspectives, while addressing linkages between Korean corporations and cultural power/influence that have led to an announcement such as Hallyu 4.0. This paper also highlights the recent tensions between Korea and China, specifically with respect to THAAD deployment, and outlines potential implications for businesses and policymakers through preliminary scenarios.

  • The Dark Side of Democracy : Explaining Ethnic Cleansing
    P1: ICD 052183130XAgg.xml CY448B/Mann-II 052183130 X August 2, 2004 11:12 This page intentionally left blank ii P1: ICD 052183130XAgg.xml CY448B/Mann-II 052183130 X August 2, 2004 11:12 The Dark Side of Democracy This book presents a new theory of ethnic cleansing based on the most ter- rible cases – colonial genocides, Armenia, the Nazi Holocaust, Cambodia, Yugoslavia, and Rwanda – and cases of lesser violence – early modern Europe, contemporary India, and Indonesia. Murderous cleansing is modern – it is “the dark side of democracy.” It results where the demos (democracy) is confused with the ethnos (the ethnic group). Danger arises where two rival ethnonational movements each claims “its own” state over the same territory. Conflict esca- lates where either the weaker side fights rather than submit because of aid from outside or the stronger side believes it can deploy sudden, overwhelming force. But the state must also be factionalized and radicalized by external pressures like wars. Premeditation is rare, since perpetrators feel “forced” into escalation when their milder plans are frustrated. Escalation is not simply the work of “evil elites” or “primitive peoples.” It results from complex interactions among leaders, militants, and “core constituencies” of ethnonationalism. Understand- ing this complex process helps us devise policies to avoid ethnic cleansing in the future. Michael Mann is a professor of sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles.

  • State of the Unions PAPER BRIEFING How to Restore Free Association and Expression, Combat Extremism and Make Student Unions Effective
    State of the Unions BRIEFING PAPER How to restore free association and expression, combat extremism and make student unions effective By Maximilian Young and Lucky Dube EXECUTIVE SUMMARY • Student unions are student-led groups that are supposed to represent students on campus to university administrations, provide useful services, and support clubs and associations. • Student unions cost taxpayers and students £165 million per annum, an average of £75 per student per annum or £225 over a three year degree course. This is evenly split between taxpayers and students. They employ 600 full-time stu- dent sabbatical officers. • Student unions are perceived as ineffective by students, lack democratic legiti- macy, and undermine freedom of association and expression. • This has little to do with money available: student unions that receive higher block grants from universities tend to be poorer performing in the National Stu- dent Survey. • Only one-in-ten students actively participate in student union elections. Nev- ertheless, students are forced to be members of student unions, undermining freedom of association. • Many student unions are using taxpayer and student money to pursue a narrow political agenda that is irrelevant to representing students. These campaigns tend to follow a specific, “social justice,” political agenda focused on tackling alleged “structural oppression” against minority groups. • In pursuit of this agenda, student unions have sought to control student activ- ity, such as stopping students from wearing sombreros, putting on fancy dress, buying Bacardi rum, clapping, whooping and cheering, and eating meat. • Student unions have also sought to limit free speech, by limiting or blocking the selling of certain publications, failing to prevent or encouraged violence at meetings, seeking to approve speeches in advance, blocking the formation of free speech societies, imposing meeting rules, barring certain groups from freshers’ fairs, and requiring excessive red tape for speakers of which they dis- approve.
