Record of North Korea's Major Conventional Provocations Since
May 25, 2010 Record of North Korea’s Major Conventional Provocations since 1960s Complied by the Office of the Korea Chair, CSIS Please note that the conventional provocations we listed herein only include major armed conflicts, military/espionage incursions, border infractions, acts of terrorism including sabotage bombings and political assassinations since the 1960s that resulted in casualties in order to analyze the significance of the attack on the Cheonan and loss of military personnel. This list excludes any North Korean verbal threats and instigation, kidnapping as well as the country’s missile launches and nuclear tests. January 21, 1968 Blue House Raid A North Korean armed guerrilla unit crossed the Demilitarized Zone into South Korea and, in disguise of South Korean military and civilians, attempted to infiltrate the Blue House to assassinate South Korean President Park Chung-hee. The assassination attempt was foiled, and in the process of pursuing commandos escaping back to North Korea, a significant number of South Korean police and soldiers were killed and wounded, allegedly as many as 68 and 66, respectively. Six American casualties were also reported. ROK Response: All 31 North Korean infiltrators were hunted down and killed except Kim Shin-Jo. After the raid, South Korea swiftly moved to strengthen the national defense by establishing the ROK Reserve Forces and defense industry and installing iron fencing along the military demarcation line. January 23, 1968 USS Pueblo Seizure The U.S. navy intelligence ship Pueblo on its mission near the coast of North Korea was captured in international waters by North Korea. Out of 83 crewmen, one died and 82 men were held prisoners for 11 months.

Rinehart Analyst in Asian Affairs Brock R. Williams Analyst in International Trade and Finance October 8, 2015 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41481 U.S.-South Korea Relations Summary Overview South Korea (known officially as the Republic of Korea, or ROK) is one of the United States’ most important strategic and economic partners in Asia, and since 2009 relations between the two countries arguably have been at their most robust state in decades. Members of Congress tend to be interested in South Korea-related issues for a number of reasons. First, the United States and South Korea have been treaty allies since the early 1950s. The United States is committed to helping South Korea defend itself, particularly against any aggression from North Korea. Approximately 28,500 U.S. troops are based in the ROK and South Korea is included under the U.S. “nuclear umbrella.” Second, Washington and Seoul cooperate in addressing the challenges posed by North Korea. Third, the two countries’ economies are closely entwined and are joined by the Korea-U.S. Free Trade Agreement (KORUS FTA). South Korea is the United States’ sixth- largest trading partner and the United States is South Korea’s second-largest trading partner. South Korea has taken the first steps toward possible entry into the U.S.-led Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) free trade agreement negotiations. Strategic Cooperation and the U.S.-ROK Alliance Dealing with North Korea is the dominant strategic concern of the U.S.-South Korean relationship.

Mad Cow Militancy: Neoliberal Hegemony and Social Resistance in South Korea
Political Geography xxx (2010) 1e11 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Political Geography journal homepage: www.elsevier.com/locate/polgeo Mad cow militancy: Neoliberal hegemony and social resistance in South Korea Seung-Ook Lee a,*, Sook-Jin Kim b, Joel Wainwright a a Department of Geography, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210-1361, USA b Department of Geography, Konkuk University, Seoul 143-701, South Korea abstract Keywords: Massive protests shook South Korea through the summer of 2008. This political eruption which exhibited South Korea many novel and unexpected elements cannot be explained by pointing to basic political conditions in Candlelight protests South Korea (strong labor unions, democratization, and so forth). Neither does the putative reason for Neoliberalism them e to protest the new President’s decision to reopen South Korea’s beef market to the U.S. e Hegemony Geography of social movements adequately explain the social dynamics at play. In this paper, we examine the political geography of the ‘candlelight protests’ (as they came to be known), focusing in particular on their novel aspects: the subjectivities of the protesters, ﬁerce ideological struggles, and differentiated geography. We argue that the deepening of neoliberal restructuring by the new conservative regime formed the underlying causes of these intense conﬂicts. In other words, the new protests should be seen as a response to the reinforced contradictions engendered by neoliberalization and a new alignment of social groups against the pre- vailing hegemonic conditions in South Korea. In this view, the huge demonstrations revealed vulnera- bilities in conservative hegemony but failed to produce a different hegemony.

South Korea's Blue House Scandal

South Korea’s Blue House Scandal https://www.e-ir.info/2017/02/21/south-koreas-blue-house-scandal/ MI-YEON HUR, FEB 21 2017 Since October 2016, every weekend, Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul has been flooded with hundreds of thousands of people demanding the ouster of current South Korean President Park Geun-hye. Park faces allegations that she helped her close confidante, Choi Soon-sil, extract money from South Korean conglomerates to use for personal gain, while Choi Soon-sil was arrested on charges of fraud and abuse of power. Pundits outside South Korea tend to focus on the unusual and sensational aspects of the issue, such as Choi’s shamanism, how much control Choi enjoyed over Park, or when and how Park would step down. However, these aspects hardly give a clear understanding of the Blue House[1] scandal and the series of ongoing public demonstrations in South Korea. The core issue amid the chronic scandals engulfing South Korea is the country’s distorted economy and immature democracy. The title of “11th largest economy in the world” is the wrapping paper that covers the political discrepancies and socio-economic disparities that South Korean society is currently experiencing. Outsiders must understand that what South Korean citizens are demanding is not only the removal of an incapable and apathetic ruler but also meaningful changes to the rigged economic and political structure.

Japanese Views of South Korea: Enough Is Enough Brad Glosserman 188 | Joint U.S.-Korea Academic Studies
Japanese Views of South Korea: Enough is Enough Brad Glosserman 188 | Joint U.S.-Korea Academic Studies While the sources of contention are deep and enduring, relations between Japan and South Korea have been especially troubled in the last few years. The two countries are grappling with deeply entrenched, emotional legacies that have been inflamed by recent controversies, rendering history both immediate and real. This chapter explores Japan’s perception of and reaction to those events. While it aims to provide an objective assessment of Japanese thinking, it does not purport to be even-handed or balanced. It is an analysis of the Japanese view of the relationship with South Korea. To be brief and blunt, Japanese are frustrated with and angered by South Koreans. Frustrated because they have been unable to build a future with them that rests on a foundation of shared concerns and values; domestic politics continues to override strategic interests. Angry because Korean complaints deny the many changes that have occurred in Japan since the end of World War II. Japanese do not deny that atrocities took place, but they are offended when they are laid at the feet of current generations. A growing number of Japanese believe that Koreans prefer to occupy the moral high ground over building a mutually beneficial long-term partnership. This belief increasingly colors the way that Korean actions and statements are interpreted. A Long and Tangled History One of the paramount difficulties in understanding Japan-ROK relations is to ascertain at what point in time to start the analysis. The two governments are engaged in what can be described as either a pas de deux (by aesthetes) or (for the scientifically inclined) a geopolitical manifestation of Newton’s Third Law, according to which every action generates an equal and opposite reaction.
