  • 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.

  • The Role of Pavilion in Aesthetics of Korean Garden-Park Complexes
    Te role of pavilion in aesthetics of Korean garden-park complexes REVISTA SAN GREGORIO, 2019, NO.34, SPECIAL ISSUE NOVEMBER (213-219), ISSN: 1390-7247; EISSN: 2528-7907 THE ROLE OF PAVILION IN AESTHETICS OF KOREAN GARDEN-PARK COMPLEXES EL PAPEL DEL PABELLÓN EN LA ESTÉTICA DE LOS COMPLEJOS COREANOS DE JARDINES Y PARQUES Authors Rustem Ravilevich Muhametzyanov, Kazan Federal University. Russia E-mail: [email protected] Liailia Aidarovna Gainullina, Kazan Federal University. Russia Natalia Andreevna Bolotova, Kazan Federal University. Russia Fecha de recibido: 13 de noviembre de 2019 Fecha de aceptado para publicación: 30 de noviembre de 2019 Fecha de publicación: 10 de diciembre de 2019 Abstract Traditional national culture is the result of human wisdom that has gone through centuries of challenges and searches. It can be seen in the architecture and garden-park complexes especially. Traditional garden-park culture of each country is a culmination of an understanding of the unity of the natural environment, religion and nationality. Therefore, this culture is unique and has its own origin. In this article, the role of architectural elements in the Korean garden-park complexes was analyzed. Traditional garden-park architecture has a special value, as it is a unique recording of time and space; it has the complex not partial nature of culture and is a "ship", which consists of various elements of traditional culture. Moreover, it shows people's thoughts about beauty and influences on people's minds and bodies. That is why researching of aesthetics of Korean garden-park complexes is the way to understand Korean national culture.
