  • The Pyeongchang Olympics and Solving the Korean Crisis with Goodwill Posted on 02 Mar·Ch 2018 Tags
    Received by NSD/FAR.t\ Registration Unit 09/26/2018 3:32:49 PM The PyeongChang Olympics and Solving the Korean Crisis with Goodwill Posted On 02 Mar·ch 2018 Tags. diplomacy By Casey Robinson In January, the South Korean government extended its hand to the Kim regime by offering high,level talks to d.iscuss North Korea's possible participation at the Winter Olympics, to which the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un responded positively and ordered a reopening of the Panmunjom hotline. The international community was generally optimistic towards this development. Even President Trump, who has shown a willingness to use force to protect American interests, commented that inter-Korean talks are a good thing and even suggested his willingness to speak with Kim Jong-un himself. Many acts of goodwill came from these high-level talks. North and South Korea agreed to participate as a unified team at the Winter Olympics under one flag with inter-Korean team practices in the North. In additfon, the United States rnay have also displayed a sign of goodwill by decreasing funding for human rights and freedom of information programs in North Korea. Decreasing its budget towards these issues may show the North Korean government thatthe United States is potentially no longer be interested in undermining the Kim regime. However, the Moon administration's attempt at rapprochement with North Korea may only be good for the short0 term, until the closing of the Winter Olympics. Without the incentive of sports diplomacy, all three governments may likely return to provocations as there is no sense of confidence in their respective adversary.

  • A Study on the Turth Finding Movements Concerning the Reenactment and Amendment of the Jeju 4.3 Special Law
    Vo,10 No.2 June 30, 2020 A Study on the Turth Finding Movements Concerning the Reenactment and Amendment of the Jeju 4.3 Special Law Jeong-cheol Yang*, Young-hee Ko**, Michael Saxton*** Abstract Jeju 4.3 refers to a seven year and seven month long period of events; from the 1947 Gwandeokjang Square incident on March 1st, 1947 at Buk Elementary, where a horsed police officer’s mistake lead to casualties that many citizens felt was inadequately investigated to September 21st, 1954, when the Geumjok area of Hallasan was fully opened, officially ending the lock down of Jeju Island. In Jeju, 4.3 was a taboo word. Jeju 4.3 slowly began to rise to the surface of discussion after the collapse of the Syngman Rhee regime in the April Revolution of 1960. In May 1960, the "April 3 Incident Fact-finding Committee," which was led by seven students from Jeju National University, became an organization and began the work of uncovering the truth about Jeju 4.3. In the literary world, Kim Seok-beom's "Hwasando" was published in 1976, and Hyun Ki-Young’s "Aunt Suni", which deals with the massacre in Bukchon was published in 1978, talked about the pain of Jeju 4.3. Later, the political communities tried to console the bereaved families who suffered from national violence through the enactment of the Jeju 4.3 Special Law. As of 2016, discussions on the revision of the Jeju April 3 Special Law were continuously raised and five revisions were submitted to the National Assembly, drawing keen attention from political circles.

Inset shows lines built by Japanese (Source: Rimmer, 1995; 195). 1321 Fig. 2 Expressways and national roads (Source: Rimmer, 1995: 199). 1322 Ugo, King (? - 108 BCE) King Ugo was a king of Wiman Chosen and the grandson of Wiman (194 BCE -?), the founder the state. His grandfather founded Wiman Chosen and shortly began to subjugate the neighbouring states to the north, east and south. The scale of Wiman grew to such an extent that it prohibited the small states to its south, including Chin, from direct contact with the Chinese Han dynasty. Wiman acted as an intermediary in all trade with Han and extracted a fee for every transaction. This was not well received by Han, as it also felt threatened by the Wiman expansion and the possibility of an alliance between the Korean state and Han's northern enemies. The long-standing contentions between Han and Wiman Chosen reached their zenith in 109 BCE when Han launched an attack against the Wiman capital, Wanggom Castle (modern day P'yongyang). The outnumbered Wiman forces, led by King Ugo, struggled valiantly and held the fortress for a year before finally succumbing to a combination of the Han army and internal dissension. Ugo was assassinated by a faction within Wiman that sought peace with Han, but his loyal vassal Songgi continued the struggle against the Han for some time. However, Wanggom Castle fell in 108 BCE and this marked the end of the Wiman Chosen state. Ugye chip (Collected Works of Ugye) Ugye chip is the anthology of the scholar-official Song Hon (1535-1598) of themiddle Chosen period.

    “TRACES OF A LOST LANDSCAPE TRADITION AND CROSS-CULTURAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN KOREA, CHINA AND JAPAN IN THE EARLY JOSEON PERIOD (1392-1550)” By Copyright 2014 SANGNAM LEE Submitted to the graduate degree program in History of Art and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson Marsha Haufler ________________________________ Amy McNair ________________________________ Keith McMahon ________________________________ Maki Kaneko ________________________________ Maya Stiller Date Defended: May 8, 2014 The Dissertation Committee for SANGNAM LEE certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: “TRACES OF A LOST LANDSCAPE TRADITION AND CROSS-CULTURAL RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN KOREA, CHINA AND JAPAN IN THE EARLY JOSEON PERIOD (1392-1550)” ________________________________ Chairperson Marsha Haufler Date approved: May 8, 2014 ii Abstract This dissertation traces a lost landscape tradition and investigates cross-cultural relationships between Korea, China and Japan during the fifteenth and mid sixteenth centuries. To this end, the main research is given to Landscapes, a set of three hanging scrolls in the Mōri Museum of Art in Yamaguchi prefecture, Japan. Although Landscapes is traditionally attributed to the Chinese master Mi Youren (1075-1151) based on title inscriptions on their painting boxes, the style of the scrolls indicates that the painter was a follow of another Northern Song master, Guo Xi (ca. 1020-ca. 1090). By investigating various aspects of the Mōri scrolls such as the subject matter, style, its possible painter and provenance as well as other cultural aspects that surround the scrolls, this dissertation traces a distinctive but previously unrecognized landscape tradition that existed in early Joseon times.

  • World Mission and Higher Education Internationalization: a Comparative
    World Mission and Higher Education Internationalization: A Comparative Study of Christian Universities in South Korea and Canada by Christina Jane Hwang A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto © Copyright by Christina Jane Hwang 2020 World Mission and Higher Education Internationalization: A Comparative Study of Christian Universities in South Korea and Canada Christina J. Hwang Doctor of Philosophy Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education Ontario Institute for Studies in Education University of Toronto 2020 Abstract This thesis explores the nature of internationalization activities at two Christian higher education institutions comparatively—one in South Korea and the other in Canada. A qualitative study, it examines the question of the extent to which an institution’s internationalization policies and programs reflect the core values of the evangelical Christian faith stated in their mission and vision statement. A conceptual framework was created using Jane Knight’s (2004) framework for internationalization and the concept of Holistic Christian world mission found in the Lausanne Covenant. This enables understanding of how the current theories of Christian world mission and the secular ideas of internationalization come together to influence the institutional mission. The history and context of each school also were studied to see how much they influence the internationalization strategies. The study found the evangelical core values of the Christian faith in the mission statements at each of the Christian higher education institution are strongly reflected in internationalization policies and programs. They are the driving force behind what they do in ii terms of internationalization ‘at-home’ and abroad.

    Zhu Xi’s Theory of Heterodoxy and King Sejong’s Thinking of Zhongyong: Focusing on the Arguments over the Sarigak at Heungcheonsa Temple PARK Hong-kyu Abstract King Sejong practiced faithfully the Confucian policies that had been estab- lished with the foundation of the new Joseon dynasty. He was a typical Confu- cian king who repressed Buddhism, which had been the state religion in the preceding Goryeo dynasty. When he expressed support for a Buddhist event of repairing the sarigak at Heungcheonsa temple in the capital in the 17th year of his reign (1435), however, King Sejong came into conflict with his Confu- cian subjects. The opposition assumed various aspects in the process until the conflict came to an end, and the will of King Sejong was accomplished in the 24th year of his reign (1442). Previous studies have interpreted the Buddhism- friendly events of the Confucian King Sejong from the viewpoints of social, national, and religious necessity as well as of functionalism, usefulness, and practicability. This paper, however, pays attention to the reasoning structure of King Sejong. It aims to show that while Confucian subjects argued on the basis of Zhu Xi’s theory of heterodoxy, King Sejong employed zhongyong (doc- trine of the mean) in the conflicts with his subjects on Buddhist events. In addition, this paper examines the relationship between Zhu Xi’s theory of het- erodoxy and the theory of zhongyong, and gives ideological meaning to the arguments between King Sejong and his subjects. Keywords: King Sejong, Zhu Xi, Confucianism, Buddhism, theory of zhong- yong, theory of heterodoxy PARK Hong-kyu is Professor of Political Science at Korea University.
