    The Tumen Triangle Documentation Project

    THE TUMEN TRIANGLE DOCUMENTATION PROJECT SOURCING THE CHINESE-NORTH KOREAN BORDER Edited by CHRISTOPHER GREEN Issue Two February 2014 ABOUT SINO-NK Founded in December 2011 by a group of young academics committed to the study of Northeast Asia, Sino-NK focuses on the borderland world that lies somewhere between Pyongyang and Beijing. Using multiple languages and an array of disciplinary methodologies, Sino-NK provides a steady stream of China-DPRK (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea/North Korea) documentation and analysis covering the culture, history, economies and foreign relations of these complex states. Work published on Sino-NK has been cited in such standard journalistic outlets as The Economist, International Herald Tribune, and Wall Street Journal, and our analysts have been featured in a range of other publications. Ultimately, Sino-NK seeks to function as a bridge between the ubiquitous North Korea media discourse and a more specialized world, that of the academic and think tank debates that swirl around the DPRK and its immense neighbor.

    South Korea Section 3

    DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision. As part of the efforts, the ROK military complemented the Defense Reform Basic Plan and has UHYDPSHGLWVZHDSRQSURFXUHPHQWDQGDFTXLVLWLRQV\VWHP,QDGGLWLRQLWKDVUHYDPSHGWKHHGXFDWLRQDOV\VWHPIRURI¿FHUVZKLOH strengthening the current training system by extending the basic training period and by taking other measures. The military has also endeavored to invigorate the defense industry as an exporter so the defense economy may develop as a new growth engine for the entire Korean economy. To reduce any possible inconveniences that Koreans may experience, the military has reformed its defense rules and regulations to ease the standards necessary to designate a Military Installation Protection Zone.

  • Korean Romanization

    Korean Romanization

    Checked for validity and accuracy – October 2017 ROMANIZATION OF KOREAN FOR THE DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF KOREA McCune-Reischauer System (with minor modifications) BGN/PCGN 1945 Agreement This system for romanizing Korean was devised by G.M. McCune and E.O. Reischauer, and was originally published in the Transactions of the Korea Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, Volume XXIX, 1939. It has been used by the BGN since 1943, and was later adopted for use by the PCGN. Until 2011 it was used by BGN and PCGN for the romanization of Korean geographical names in Korea as a whole. In 2011 BGN and PCGN approved the use of the Republic of Korea’s national system (created by the ROK’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2000) for the romanization of Korean in the Republic of Korea only. As of 2011, therefore, this McCune-Reischauer system is used by BGN and PCGN only for the romanization of geographical names in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. A main characteristic of this system is the attempt to represent approximate Korean pronunciation, while systematically converting the han’gŭl characters to corresponding Roman-script letters. Since Korean pronunciation is often inconsistently represented in han’gŭl, the McCune-Reischauer conversion tables are rather elaborate, and reverse conversion (from Roman-script back to han’gŭl) presents varied difficulties. Since the McCune-Reischauer system was first introduced, there have been a number of orthographical developments in Korean, giving rise to han’gŭl letter combinations not addressed by the original system. These additional graphic environments have been assessed, and are addressed here.

    South Korea's Engagement in Central Asia

    South Korea’s Engagement in Central Asia from the End of the Cold War to the “New Asia Initiative” Matteo Fumagalli Central European University The Journal of Northeast Asian History Volume 9 Number 2 (Winter 2012), 69-97 Copyright © 2012 by the Northeast Asian History Foundation. All Rights Reserved. No portion of the contents may be reproduced in any form without written permission of the Northeast Asian History Foundation. South Korea’s Engagement in Central Asia from the End of the Cold War to the “New Asia Initiative” This paper examines South Korea’s engagement in Central Asia as a case study of the country’s broader efforts to establish itself as a more assertive regional and global economic and political player. Embedding the analysis in the account of the evolving nature of Korean-Central Asian relations over the past two decades, the paper locates Korea’s policy towards the region within its attempts to tackle energy vulnerability. Without the “political baggage” that accompanies the presence of other major players, Korea’s economically-driven country-specific strategy is yielding significant results. Keywords: Central Asia, Korea’s foreign policy, diaspora, identity, trade, energy, investment South Korea’s Engagement in Central Asia from the End of the Cold War to the “New Asia Initiative” Matteo Fumagalli Central European University Introduction In the early 1990s South Korea quickly dislodged the ties that North Korea had with the Soviet successor states, which were a legacy of earlier Soviet-North Korean relations. Those ties, of course, included relations with the Central Asian republics of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
