Dr. Alfred Gerstl for his patient teaching, valuable guidance and useful advice. I cannot express enough thanks to University Professor Mag. Dr. Rüdiger Frank, who teaches me two relevant seminars on East Asian Economy and who arouses my interest in economic issues. Besides, University Professor Mag. Dr. Andrew Kipnis’s seminar on Urbanization in China, which systematically examines Zouping, provides me with some new ideas for the master thesis. The other faculty of the East Asian Economy and Society program greatly richen my knowledge, so I sincerely appreciate for the precious learning opportunities provided by the Program and the University of Vienna. In preparing this master thesis, I have greatly benefited from my peers, particularly the classmates in the Research and Master’s Colloquium seminar. My grateful thanks are also extended to my parents, Mrs. Lü Hua and Mr. Long Lianjie. Last, I am particularly grateful to Guo Fangzhou for discussing and proofreading this master thesis. i 1 INTRODUCTION Special economic zones (SEZs) are greatly welcomed by the governments worldwide. SEZs are believed as an effective tool for promoting local economic development (Zeng 2011, 3; Farole 2011, 7; Farole and Akinci 2011, 4; Wang 2013, 1). It was reported that, by 2015, more than 100 countries had established and operated about 4,300 SEZs, and a growing number of new zones were being under construction (Farole and Akinci 2011, 19; “Not so Special” 2015). These countries operating or intending to run SEZs include both developing countries and developed countries, and SEZs spread around almost every corner in this world. By 2013, a total number of 74 free zones had been set up within the European Union (Jong 2013, 1). And, a new wave of SEZs is sweeping Sub-Saharan Africa. A growing number of African countries have operated or planned to establish SEZs or industrial parks (Fruman and Zeng 2015). Thomas Farole, a senior economist at the World Bank, made such a conclusion, which can accurately describe the attitudes of the majority of the countries in the world towards SEZs, stating that “any country that didn’t have

  • Final Program for ASEM17/ANBRE17 Congress
    CHAIRMAN’S WELCOME The 2017 World Congress on Advances in Structural Engineering and Mechanics(ASEM17) and Advances in Nano, Robotics, and Energy(ANBRE17) are jointly organized by combing existing international conferences and adding new ones. Each conference in the congress is organized with close association with relevant journal of Techno-Press. This combined event provides a greater variety of topics to be picked up. This will create an excellent opportunity for participants to look into what is going on in the allied fields and get some ideas on what the future developments in thier own fields will be. Thus, ASEM17/ANBRE17 will be the premier international forum that brings together academics and practicing engineers to exchange the frontier research results and emerging technologies in the broad areas of research. It is with a great pleasure and honor for me to welcome you all here for the joint Congress in Ilsan, Korea. I hope the Congress will be a unique opportunity for participants not only to exchange the recent developments in the important technical areas, but also to meet the old friends and make new ones. I would like to extend my appreciation to all the participating authors for their valuable time and efforts to make contribution to this joint congress. Thanks are also due to the keynote lecturers for their important contribution to this congress, and the invited mini symposium organizers for their hard work, not forgetting the session chairs who will take on very important roles. Special thanks are due to Professor O Ok Park, the Vice President of KAIST and a former editor-in-chief of Advances in Materials Research, a Techno-Press journal, for kindly accepting our invitation to give plenary keynote lecture.

  • Building the Nation: the Success and Crisis of Korean Civil Religion
    religions Article Building the Nation: The Success and Crisis of Korean Civil Religion Andrew Eungi Kim 1 and Daniel Connolly 2,* 1 Division of International Studies, Korea University, Anam-ro, Seongbuk-gu, Seoul 02841, Korea; [email protected] 2 Division of International Studies, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Seoul 02450, Korea * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Civil religion refers to a country’s beliefs, symbols, and rituals that bolster national unity and strengthen its citizens’ sense of identity and belonging. However, the literature on civil religion is divided between those who attribute it to bottom-up cultural spontaneity and those who see it as an ideological top-down construction. Moreover, there has been a relative lack of scholarly attention to Korean civil religion. This paper addresses both issues by arguing that a strong civil religion indeed exists in the country and that it has been an important part of the “nation-building” process since the founding of the Republic of Korea in 1948. The paper highlights how a succession of authoritarian regimes (1948–1987) successfully mobilized a strong civil religion for political purposes. The resulting civil religion targeted economic growth as the national goal to overcome all social ills, focused on the country’s ethnic and cultural homogeneity to boost national confidence and pride, exalted its traditional religions, especially Confucianism, as repositories of Korean traditional culture, and rendered sacred meanings to national symbols such as the flag and national anthem. Even after democratization, Korean civil religion remains largely ideological, as the Korean government is heavily involved in framing, planning, sponsoring, and promoting the country’s civil religion.

  • Evaluating Translations of Korean Literature: Current Status, Rationale, Purposes and Opportunities
    Evaluating Translations of Korean Literature: Current Status, Rationale, Purposes and Opportunities Andreas Schirmer Zhodnotenie prekladov kórejskej literatúry: súčasný stav, odôvodnenie, zámery a príležitosti Resumé Štúdia ponúka poznatky, ktoré autor získal pri podrobnom čítaní prekladov kórejskej literatúry do nemeckého a anglického jazyka. Výsledky predstavujú príspevok ku komparatívnemu štúdiu jazykových a štylistických charakteristických znakov (štýl langue) týchto troch jazykov. Môžu poslúžiť pre potreby vzdelávania, keďže predstavujú konkrét- ne prípadové štúdie. Takisto môžu poslúžiť na zdôraznenie kultúrnych rozdielov v mys- lení a zdanlivo samozrejmých domnienkach na strane autorov ako aj prekladateľov. Výsledky tejto štúdie ponúkajú aj originálny prínos pre posúdenie poetológie významných kórejských spisovateľov. Keywords Korea, Literature · Translation · Translation Criticism · Translation Evalu- ation, Criteria 1 Evaluating how well or how poorly Korean literature is translated into Western languages is something that has not been done comprehensively until now. Access to evaluations written for those major institutions that support the translation of Korean literature into Western languages is deliberately restricted (the present writer attempted in vain to obtain permission to try such an »evaluation of evaluations«), which is regrettable.1 A plea is hereby made for This paper was written thanks to the support by an Academy of Korean Studies (KSPS) grant funded by the Korean Government (MOE): AKS-2011-BAA-2105. 1 These top secret evaluations are, all the more interestingly, written at several different stages: 272 SOS 12 · 2 (2013) increased transparency and the chance to openly discuss such evaluations. Notwithstanding the likely complications (any attempt at evaluating evaluations might, if not handled with the utmost delicacy, clash with the demand for analyst’s and translator’s anonymity—which of course has to be preserved), it would in principle be beneficial to enable the discussion of the verdict on a given translation.

  • Adapting to a 'Biomedical World'
    Adapting to a ‘Biomedical World’ The Relationship between Doctors of Korean Medicine (KM) and Biomedical Doctors in the Process of ‘Western- Korean Cooperative Medical Treatment’ (WKCT) in Hospital Settings by In Hyo Park Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Sociology at Bielefeld University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Dr. phil.) First Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Dr. Thomas Gerlinger Second Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Lutz Leisering Bielefeld, 26 January 2017 ii To Prof. Dr. Gunnar Stollberg (1 October 1945 Berlin – 25 March 2014 Berlin) iii Acknowledgement The main idea of this thesis traces back to the time when I recognized differences of attitudes between biomedical doctors and KM doctors towards physical therapists in a “co-operative” hospital in Busan, South Korea, while taking part in a practical training as an apprentice therapist during the study in the department of physical therapy 9 years ago. Since the late Prof. Dr. Gunnar Stollberg – my ex-doctoral supervisor – expressed interest in my experience and the existence of two different kinds of medical doctors in South Korea, their relationship in actual clinical settings has been the main theme for my doctoral research, followed by fieldwork in Busan in 2011 and 2012. However, I never realized that it would take such a long time to finish the thesis by the year of 2017. Meanwhile, I have struggled with writing in order that the findings of this study would not remain as a historical report about the past, but still as a current report describing the actual relationship between KM and biomedical doctors. In acknowledging a variety of help and support I received for this thesis, first, I would like to express my deepest thanks to my first doctoral supervisor Prof.

  • Historical Information on Admiral Yi Sun-Sin
    Korean Spirit and Culture Website www.kscpp.net All booklets published in the series are available on our website, as well as additional materials covering various aspects of Korean history and culture. Published so far: Admiral Yi Sun-sin King Sejong the Great Chung Hyo Ye Fifty Wonders of Korea Taste of Korea (Cookbook) Master Wonhyo The Practice of Hongik Ingan 1 Comments from Readers “I would like to commend you on an excellent commentary about a native son of Korea who gave his mind, body, and soul to the goal of achieving freedom for his people and his country. To say that I was mildly surprised about the incredible life and history of Admiral Yi Sun-sin is an understatement. This incredible warrior and humble person is to be greatly admired.” - Colonel Thomas Brenner (RET), USA “Yi’s patriotism was one that inspired him to do good, so pure and untouched by hate, and not like modern-day patriotism which seems to breed prejudice, arrogance and division. The way he yearned to serve his country to best of his ability was much like the way holy men serve God – unconditionally and without attachment to results or retreat in the face of defeat. His story is an inspiration for the times we face today. In a world where leaders' motives are suspect and full of self-interest we are left hoping for leaders like Yi Sun-sin to arise.” - April Cantor, USA “On the day before the Battle of Myongnyang, Yi Sun-sin said, ‘He who seeks death will live, and he who seeks life will die.’ His words charged the soldiers’ spirits and changed the fate of
