  • Joseonhakgyo, Learning Under North Korean Leadership: Transitioning from 1970 to Present*
    https://doi.org/10.33728/ijkus.2020.29.1.007 International Journal of Korean Unification Studies Vol. 29, No. 1, 2020, 161-188. Joseonhakgyo, Learning under North Korean Leadership: Transitioning from 1970 to Present* Min Hye Cho** This paper analyzes English as a Foreign Language (EFL) textbooks used during North Korea’s three leaderships: 1970s, 1990s and present. The textbooks have been used at Korean ethnic schools, Joseonhakgyo (朝鮮学校), which are managed by the Chongryon (總聯) organization in Japan. The organization is affiliated with North Korea despite its South Korean origins. Given North Korea’s changing influence over Chongryon’s education system, this study investigates how Chongryon Koreans’ view on themselves has undergone a transition. The textbooks’ content that have been used in junior high school classrooms (students aged between thirteen and fifteen years) are analyzed. Selected texts from these textbooks are analyzed critically to delineate the changing views of Chongryon Koreans. The findings demonstrate that Chongryon Koreans have changed their perspective from focusing on their ties to North Korea (1970s) to focusing on surviving as a minority group (1990s) to finally recognising that they reside permanently in Japan (present). Keywords: EFL textbooks, Korean ethnic school, minority education, North Koreans in Japan, North Korean leadership ** Acknowledgments: The author would like to acknowledge the generous and thoughtful support of the staff at Hagusobang (Chongryon publishing company), including Mr Nam In Ryang, Ms Kyong Suk Kim and Ms Mi Ja Moon; Ms Malryo Jang, an English teacher at Joseonhakgyo; and Mr Seong Bok Kang at Joseon University in Tokyo. They have consistently provided primary resource materials, such as Chongryon EFL textbooks, which made this research project possible.

  • Asia's Energy Challenge
    Asia’s Energy Challenge Energy Asia’s This book examines key issues and policy options in the development of Asia’s energy security. Rapid growth has transformed Asia’s presence in the world economy: Past growth has dramatically improved Asia’s living standards, lifting millions out of poverty. Future growth will do the same. But, crucially, can Asia secure the energy it needs to fuel this dramatic economic expansion? This book stresses that the threefold challenge of energy supply security, environmental sustainability, and affordable access requires a multipronged approach. The book also explains that the region must actively contain its rising demand, aggressively explore new energy supply sources and technology, and progressively promote the regional integration of energy markets and infrastructure. The book also highlights that, unless there is a paradigm shift in the current energy use, Asia will struggle to deliver the inclusive growth needed to lift millions of its citizens out of poverty. The book also considers the range of policy reforms and technological developments that can ensure a future of ample, affordable, clean energy for Asia.

  • Reactionary Nationalism and Democratic Development in Myanmar and Japan Apichai W
    Policy Forum Reactionary Nationalism and Democratic Development in Myanmar and Japan Apichai W. Shipper1* Nationalism has reemerged as a major issue in Asia, where thousands of ethnic groups live inside national boundaries artificially constructed by Western colonizers. While other Asian societies are witnessing various forms of nationalism, Myanmar and Japan are experiencing reactionary nationalism, which is making negative headlines around the world. I define “reactionary nationalism” as a demonstration of love for the nation among a group of ordinary people in reaction to a perceived, falsely constructed, or real threat to its national security or existence from an ethnic minority or foreigner group. It arises from a dissatisfaction with modernization that is accompanied by increasing economic and social inequality. Reactionary nationalists seek to punish specific ethnic minorities or foreigner groups that act in ways perceived as destroying their collective political community or as undermining their common identity or national unity. They view the targeted ethnic group with prejudice for receiving special privileges or assistance from the government or the international aid community. While demonstrating their love for the country, they often incite hatred against a particular minority or foreigner group. Reactionary nationalists in both the heterogeneous society of Myanmar and the homogeneous society of Japan have formed hate groups comprised of Buddhist nationalists and internet ultra-rightists (netto uyoku), respectively. I argue that these particular nationalist groups hinder democratic development in their countries, because democracies require respect for individual political rights and for differences in culture (beliefs and identities) between individuals and groups. Reactionary nationalist groups espouse undemocratic ideals and ethnic violence against minority groups.

  • General Assembly Distr.: General 12 April 2006
    United Nations A/60/749 General Assembly Distr.: General 12 April 2006 Original: English Sixtieth session Agenda items 69 and 71 Elimination of racism and racial discrimination Human rights questions Letter dated 12 April 2006 from the Permanent Representative of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea to the United Nations addressed to the Secretary-General I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the Japanese authorities are stepping up provocative actions against the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on a new scale. The right-wing reactionary forces in Japan are calling for sanctions and fanning up hostile sentiments against the DPRK over the “abduction issue” which was already resolved, while kicking up sweeping repression on the General Association of Korean Residents in Japan (Chongryon). At the instigation of the intelligence agencies of the U.S. and Japan and other right-wing conservative forces, anti-DPRK units and individuals under the cloak of “non-governmental organizations” abducted citizens of the DPRK in the name of humanity. In this regard, the Ministry of People’s Security of the DPRK has issued warrants for the arrest of those Japanese individuals concerned. Recent undisguised anti-DPRK manoeuvres of Japan constitute a flagrant violation of all international human rights instruments, in particular General Assembly resolution 60/251, which created the Human Rights Council. I enclose herewith the statement of the spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the answer by the spokesman of the Ministry of People’s Security for your information (see annexes I and II). I should be grateful if you would have the present letter and its annexes circulated as a document of the General Assembly, under agenda items 69 and 71 of the sixtieth session of the General Assembly.

  • Post-Fukushima Prospects for Nuclear-Power Development In
    POST-FUKUSHIMA PROSPECTS FOR NUCLEAR-POWER DEVELOPMENT IN THE UNITED STATES, GERMANY, AND JAPAN James Daniel Beaton* BA International Relations University of British Columbia, Okanagan campus * The author may be contacted at [email protected]. The author wishes to thank Dr. Carl Cavanagh Hodge for his constant support, guidance, and insight. This research was completed in August 2012 and was made possible through an award provided by the University of British Columbia. 1 ABSTRACT The Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident that followed the March 11, 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami o! the coast of Japan has had far-reaching consequences. In order to properly assess and predict the impact of this event on industry, political opinion, and government policy, it is important to examine the political aftermath of the Three Mile Island and Chernobyl accidents of March 28, 1979 and April 26, 1986 respectively. By considering these three incidents with regard to actions taken in response by the United States, Germany, and Japan, this paper grounds a dynamic issue in both temporal and geographical comparative perspective. It concludes with a closer look at the economic bene"ts and costs of nuclear power, and an evaluation of a few of the tenets of contemporary environmental policy as they relate to nuclear power. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS I#Introduction . .4 II#The United States : Nuclear Powerhouse . 5 III#Germany : The Green State . 24 IV#Japan : Fallout in the Paci"c . 36 V#The Irony and Economics of the Green Movement . 54 VI#Conclusions : Looking Forward . .62 Appendix A#Figures . 66 Appendix B#Notes to Figures .

DO NOT DELETE 12/20/2011 3:08 PM Beyond Fukushima: Disasters, Nuclear Energy, and Energy Law Lincoln L. Davies I. INTRODUCTION Fukushima changed everything. That, at least, was a popular view espoused after the disaster of March 11, 2011—in the press, by the talking heads in the international media, and across the blogosphere.1 A nuclear meltdown in such a densely populated, well- developed nation could scarcely do anything less than utterly transform how nuclear energy would be seen, used, and not used for years to come. That was the immediate reaction. As we inch away in time from the epicenter of the nuclear crisis at Fukushima Daiichi, however, the picture has become less stark than it often was painted in the days and weeks after the earthquake sounded, the tsunami struck, and a series of misjudgments, miscalculations, and chain reactions led to a partial meltdown of the Fukushima No.

  • Juche in the United States: the Black Panther Party's Relations with North
    Volume 13 | Issue 13 | Number 3 | Article ID 4303 | Mar 30, 2015 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Juche in the United States: The Black Panther Party’s Relations with North Korea, 1969-1971 アメリカにおけるチュチェ （主体性）思想 ブラック・パンサー党と北朝鮮、1969-1971 Benjamin Young Third World revolution, and a mutual antagonism toward American intervention around the world. Although the U.S. government forbade its citizens from travelling to North Korea, BPP leader Eldridge Cleaver along with other Panthers bypassed travel restrictions and visited North Korea to join anti-imperialist journalist conferences in 1969 and 1970. In North Korea, officially known as the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the Panthers found a new ideology and a government that was critical of the U.S. government. The Panthers established an alliance with North Korean leaders who they recognized as an independent force within the world communist movement. They believed that the "Black colony" inside the United States could learn from the DPRK's self-reliant stance in political, economic, and cultural matters. This study adds to recent scholarship on the global influence of the BPP and opens a new field of inquiry, as the BPP-North Korean relationship has not been analyzed in-depth.

  • Overconfidence Shattered: North Korean Unification Policy, 1971-1975
    NORTH KOREA INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTATION PROJECT WORKING PAPER #2 Overconfidence Shattered: North Korean Unification Policy, 1971-1975 By Bernd Schaefer December 2010 THE NORTH KOREA INTERNATIONAL DOCUMENTATION PROJECT WORKING PAPER SERIES Christian F. Ostermann and James F. Person, Series Editors This paper is one of a series of Working Papers published by the North Korea International Documentation Project of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C. Established in 2006 by a grant from the Korea Foundation, and in cooperation with the University of North Korean Studies (Seoul), the North Korea International Documentation Project (NKIDP) addresses the scholarly and policymaking communities’ critical need for reliable information on the North Korean political system and foreign relations by widely disseminating newly declassified documents on the DPRK from the previously inaccessible archives of Pyongyang’s former communist allies. With no history of diplomatic relations with Pyongyang and severely limited access to the country’s elite, it is difficult to for Western policymakers, journalists, and academics to understand the forces and intentions behind North Korea’s actions. The diplomatic record of North Korea’s allies provides valuable context for understanding DPRK policy. Among the activities undertaken by the project to promote this aim are a section in the periodic Cold War International History Project BULLETIN to disseminate new findings, views, and activities pertaining to North Korea in the Cold War; a fellowship program for Korean scholars working on North Korea; international scholarly meetings, conferences, and seminars; and publications. The NKIDP Working Paper Series is designed to provide a speedy publications outlet for historians associated with the project who have gained access to newly- available archives and sources and would like to share their results.
