South Korea and the Sino-US Institutional Rivalry: the Case of the AIIB
South Korea and the Sino-US Institutional Rivalry: The case of the AIIB -Sino-US Institutional Rivalry and Korea’s Strategic Ambiguity- Minjeong Lee(Chung-Ang University) Abstract This paper explains how South Korea has responded to a dramatic change in security landscape in East Asia that the power competition between two great powers brought about. The U.S. provoked by rapidly rising China, has consistently pursued a policy of “rebalancing” in Asia. Faced with the U.S. provocation, China also has made determined effort to secure a sphere of influence in Asia. Against the backdrop of the power competition between the two great powers, East Asian countries have been required to take a side between the powers. The paper examines the choices that secondary East Asian states may make in order to maximize their national interests subject to the pressure from the two great powers with an emphasis on South Korea. Drawing on the concept strategic ambiguity, the paper claims that South Korea, one of the secondary states, has intentionally become very ambiguous regarding U.S. and China’s call for taking a side. Knowing that allying with either of the two powers will make it worse off by inviting the powers’ retaliatory measures, Korea has been “strategically” unclear and vague about the requests from the two powers. Focusing on Korea’s delay in the participation of AIIB, the paper finds that secondary powers like South Korea often find it “optimal” to be intentionally vague in its policy toward the great powers. Key Words: South Korea; China; the U.S.; the AIIB; Strategic Ambiguity 1 Ⅰ. -

THE HOPE AND CRISIS OF PRAGMATIC TRANSITION: POLITICS, LAW, ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOUTH KOREA A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School Of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Amy Beth Levine May 2011 © 2011 Amy Beth Levine THE HOPE AND CRISIS OF PRAGMATIC TRANSITION: POLITICS, LAW, ANTHROPOLOGY AND SOUTH KOREA Amy Beth Levine, Ph.D. Cornell University 2011 This dissertation demonstrates how the urgent condition of crisis is routine for many non-governmental (NGO) and non-profit organization (NPO) workers, activists, lawyers, social movement analysts, social designers and ethnographers. The study makes a contribution to the increasing number of anthropological, legal, pedagogical, philosophical, political, and socio-legal studies concerned with pragmatism and hope by approaching crisis as ground, hope as figure, and pragmatism as transition or placeholder between them. In effect this work makes evident the agency of the past in the apprehension of the present, whose complexity is conceptualized as scale, in order to hopefully refigure ethnography’s future role as an anticipatory process rather than a pragmatic response to crisis or an always already emergent world. This dissertation is based on over two years of fieldwork inside NGOs, NPOs, and think tanks, hundreds of conversations, over a hundred interviews, and archival research in Seoul, South Korea. The transformation of the “386 generation” and Roh Moo Hyun’s presidency from 2003 to 2008 serve as both the contextual background and central figures of the study. This work replicates the historical, contemporary, and anticipated transitions of my informants by responding to the problem of agency inherent in crisis with a sense of scale and a rescaling of agency. -

INTRODUCTION Including its southernmost islands, the Republic of Korea extends southward 350 miles from the 38th parallel, yet no part of the mainland peninsula is more than 90 miles from the sea. Bordered by communist North Korea on the north, the Yellow Sea on the west anu south, the Sea of Japan to the east and outlying Japanese islands to the southeast, the Republic of Korea contains approximately 38,000 wquare miles of land, of which one-fiftn is cultivated. Ranges of moderately high mountains practically cover ine entire country except for the heavily farmed southwestern portion. In this country, somewhat smaller than the state of Virginia, live over 27,000,000 people (1964 estimate), members of one of the most racially homogenous populations in the world. Believed to be a fusion of migrating peoples from central Asia and the Yellow River basin, the Koreans speak and write a common language that is varied by only seven dialects, all ot whicn are mutually intellisible. Minority groups, except for an estimated 30,000 Chinese, are non-existent. -
Park Chung Hee's Industrialization Policy and Its Lessons for Developing Countries -.:: GEOCITIES.Ws
Return Homepage Park Chung-hee’s Industrialization Policy and its Lessons for Developing Countries A Paper for the World Congress for Korean Studies-2007 23-25, August, 2007 Nurimaru, Bexco in Busan Mortuza Khaled Professor Department of History University of Rajshahi Bangladesh The era of Park Chung-hee is an important episode of Korean history. Historians sharply criticized his regime (1961--1979) as ‘a harsh authoritarian system’,1 on the other hand during this time Korea emerged as one of the strongest industrialized countries. The government of Park Chung-hee has long been a subject of deep interest and wide debate for the general public, as well as also for the academicians. The eighteen years of Park period laid the economic foundation for the accelerated modernization of South Korea, as a result of which Korea has been transformed from a weak state in the periphery of East Asia.2 During this period Korea achieved a level of industrialization unparalleled in 1 any other developing country. Historians have evaluated such an achievement in eloquent languages and termed it as a "miracle progress" in the economic history of mankind. In a survey in 1997it was found that most Koreans approved Park Chung-hee as the “most effective President ever.” The purpose of this research is not to rationalize the authoritarian aspects of the Park administration. Instead, it intends to identify such factors of industrialization which other developing countries also can pursue for their own ends in this regard. Park Chung-hee Early Life and His Road to Military Revolution Park Chông-húi was born on 14 November, 1917 in Sangmo-ri, in the province of North Kyôngsang-pukdo of Korea.3 He was the seventh child from a family of modest means. -

I am excited to chair this committee and hear you all debate about the topic of the Korean War. Although we will not be meeting in person, I still believe we are more than capable of having thoughtful and complex discussions and debates with the resources that we have available. I would also like to remind you all that if you want your position paper to be considered for the Ben Maher Position Paper Award, you should email it to me before the conference begins. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me through email, [email protected] Sincerely, Daniel Trejo 1 Letter From Co-Chair Delegates, My name is Mark Metri, I am a junior at Boston College High school.
