So, my journey to complete this study has been a pleasant deviation from my academic expertise and plan. I wrote a paper on Korean anarchism for Professor Arif Dirlik in my first semester as a doctoral student at Duke University. It was a very rough one, and I buried it in my document folder for more than a decade. In September 2003, I was developing it to present at a conference he was organizing at the University of Oregon. Since then, I have greatly enjoyed thinking and writing about anar- chism in Korea, because I realized, somewhat belatedly, the significance of the subject after the conference. Needless to say, I am deeply indebted to Arif Dirlik, my former adviser at Duke, for not only teaching me with patience and affection about modern Chinese intellectual history but for guiding me to go beyond my specialty to understand a much broader history. Without his passionate encouragement and intellectual stimulation, this study would have never been made possible. A number of my Korean colleagues deserve my gratitude for their assistance and support. Dr. Yi Horyong kindly responded to my call for help and introduced many materials to me, when I had just begun my research on this subject a decade ago. Dr. Oh Jang-Whan also helped me with several rare materials and shared information about Korean anarchism with me. Dr. Lee Hyun-Joo at the Ministry of Patriots and Veterans Affairs provided me with the Ministry’s publications on Korean independence movement, and Professor Jo Sehyeon shared with me some Chinese and Japanese articles. Professor Baik Young-seo, former director of the Institute for Korean Studies at Yonsei University, offered me several opportunities to talk about my research on Korean anarchism at various occasions before many Korean specialists from whom I learned a lot and was encouraged with valuable comments, for which I thank him. Among others at Yonsei, Professors Yim Sung-Mo and Kim Sung-Bo showed their interest in my research and provided me with various supports whenever I visited Yonsei over past years. In particular, Professor Yim as a modern Japanese historian introduced me to some Japanese literature on Korean and/or Japanese anarchism. Professors Lee Sang-Euy, Jo Kyung Ran, and Sin Ju Back, all at Yonsei, offered me various comments. I particularly benefited from Professor Sin’s comments as a discussant atmy talk in March 2014, which made me rethink the structure of this book and my approach. During my stay at Yonsei in 2008 and 2014, I met several graduate students, who were very willing to offer their unconditional assistance and support to their “senior.” I want to express myspecial thanks to Mr. Lee Han-Gyeol and the late Ms. Lee Hwa-jung for the materials and articles they introduced me to. I would also like to thank Professors Ban Byung-yul at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Kim Kyeong-il at the Academy of Korean Studies, and Jeong Seon-tae at Kookmin University for their comments and interest. My thanks also go to Professors Bang Kwang Suk, Chung Moon Sang, Jeon In Gap, Choi Won-shik, Yim Hyung-taek, Lee Seong-Paik, Kim Seung Wook, Park Jin-su, Kwon Hee-ju, Choi Sung-sil, Kim Jang Hwan, Ha Se Bong, and Lee Hun Sang for their support and interest in my study on various occasions. Professor Emeritus Chong Key Ray gave me special support and encouragement. Professors Chung Byung Ho, Kim Gye-ja, Kim Hyo- soon, Yokoji Keiko, and Hibi Yoshitaka, all of whom I met in October 2013 at Korea University, encouraged me to pursue my regional perspective. I am also grateful to Roxann Prazniak, Rob Wilson, Bruce Cumings, Bryna Goodman, Tomoko Aoyama, Jesse Cohn, and Park Sunyoung for their interest, help, encouragement, or comments on various occasions. I would also like 4 to thank two anonymous readers for the SUNY Press for their insightful comments and helpful suggestions. In the years that were spent to write this book the most crucial help in terms of materials was provided by those at the Institute for the Study of National Culture (Gungmin munhwa yeon- guso). To name them: Mr. Lee Mun-Chang, the late Mr. Jo Gwanghae, Mr. Song Heonjo, Mr. Um Dong-il, and Mr. Nam Yi-haeng, as well as Professors Oh Jang-Whan and Kim Myeongseop. Mr. Lee particularly spared his precious time with me to answer my questions and tell me about his experiences after 1945. I am also deeply grateful to Mr. Kim Young-Chun, Ms. Park Jeong-Hee, and Mr. Sin Nage, all at the Society to Commemorate Yu Rim (Yu Rim gi-nyeom sa-eophoe). In particular, Mr. Kim not only provided his writings and materials on Yu Rim but spent long time with me on two different occasions to share his view on the history of Korean anarchism. He also traveled with me to the town of Anui where he arranged my meeting with Mr. Yi Dongwon and my visit to Anui Middle School and High School, respectively. I thank both of them for their enthusiastic support. When I traveled to Tokyo in April 2014 to locate additional materials, I received warm welcome and help from Mr. Park Chan Jung and Mr. Cho Jung Bang, both of the Korea Sports Council in Japan, and President Oh Gong-Tae and Vice President Park An Soon of the Korean Residents Union in Japan. Ms. Lee Mi-Ae at the History Museum of Koreans in Japan gave me a guide to the museum, which helped me think Korean anarchists in Japan within a much broader context of the history of Koreans in Japan. My special thanks should go to Professor Sakai Hirobumi at Hitotsubashi University. I have never met him in person, but he generously responded to my inquiry and even agreed to share with me rare Chinese materials that were utilized in this study and will be further used later in a different project. When I was on my short trip toQuanzhou in June 2015 to visit Liming Vocational University and locate some additional materials there, he also introduced me to Professor Liang Yanli of Fudan University, who in turn introduced me to people at Liming. There I received warm welcome and crucial materials that I used in this study and plan on analyzing further in a different project, for which I thank Professors Wang Qiang, Su Yanming, and Lin Zhanghong, as well as Mr. Zhang Jianliang and Mr. Lin Yali. I also would like to thank my friend from Duke, Zhou Yongming at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, for introducing me to Professor Chen Shaofeng at Beida and Mr. Chen Zong, who helped me with my brief visit to the Quanzhou Library. I have also received supports from my colleagues at Soka University of America. My special thanks go to Michael Hays (now retired) and Edward Feasel. Ed, in particular, as the dean of faculty, has supported my research activities in various ways. I also thank Osamu Ishiyama for his help with Japanese translation. And it has been a great joy to work with a group of wonderful undergraduate students at Soka. When I taught the Radicalism in Eastern Asia course per request from several students, I benefited a lot from classroom discussion. I particularly want to thank Yuka Kishida (now at Bridgewater College) and Michael Bianco for their enthusiasm about the topic. The aid given by Momoca Nishimoto and Chitari Yamamoto as my research assistants in translating many articles in Japanese anarchist newspapers and journals must be noted here with gratitude. For the help with the Inter-Library Loan service at Soka, I would like to thank Lisa Polfer and Malgorzata (Gosha) Gomagala. For the years, I also visited several libraries in South Korea, Japan, and China, and I want to thank the librarians and staffs at the National Library of Korea in Seoul, the Yonsei University Library in Seoul, the National Diet Library in Tokyo, and the Quanzhou Library in Quanzhou.

  • Social Support and Well-Being of South
    SOCIAL SUPPORT AND WELL-BEING OF SOUTH KOREANS AND NORTH KOREAN REFUGEES IN SOUTH KOREA by Soim Park A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland March 2021 ©2021 Soim Park All Rights Reserved Abstract Approximately 33,000 North Korean refugees (NKRs) resettled in South Korea during the last 25 years. NKRs form social networks with other NKRs and South Koreans (SKs), but many struggle to adapt to South Korea. The overall objective of this dissertation is to understand the influences of support exchange on the well-being of SK (host population) and NKR adults (migrants). Between September and December 2019, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 NKRs and 20 SKs who were friends or acquaintances of NKRs. A Grounded Theory approach was used for data analysis. To complement the qualitative findings about support in SKs, we also used a nationally representative cross-sectional survey. We first examined the influence of social support on the well-being of SKs (Chapter 4). Qualitative findings indicated that support exchange appeared to be related to well-being. SKs perceived individualism to be a negative attribute fostering indifference to others. Quantitative findings suggested that prioritization of individual benefits over benefits for the community was inversely related to high subjective well-being. The perceived availability of financial support was associated with high levels of well-being among middle-aged and older adults. Next, we explored coping strategies NKRs adopted to reduce acculturative stress (Chapter 5). Findings suggested that NKRs primarily sought support from culturally similar groups.

    SHIPS, SECURITY, AND SYMBOLS: A CONSTRUCTIVIST EXPLANATION OF SOUTH KOREA’S NAVAL BUILD-UP by SANGYUP LEE A Dissertation submitted to the Graduate School-New Brunswick Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Political Science written under the direction of Dr. Jack S. Levy and approved by ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ ________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey January 2013 2013 SANGYUP LEE ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION SHIPS, SECURITY, AND SYMBOLS: A CONSTRUCTIVIST EXPLANATION OF SOUTH KOREA’S NAVAL BUILD-UP By SANGYUP LEE Dissertation Director: Dr. Jack S. Levy My project asks what brought about a South Korea’s naval construction drive called the “Blue Water Navy (BWN)” initiative, and how the initiative lasted for an extended period (1995-2010). During the BWN period, South Korea saw an unprecedented growth of the size and capability of the navy. I test plausible explanations that build on different perspectives including the realist model, the bureaucratic/organizational politics model, the domestic politics model, and the sociological institutionalist (SI) model. Relying on the SI model as the main analytic framework, I offer a constructivist explanation of the origin and continuation of the BWN initiative. At the same time, I take an eclectic position in that I understand that there is no single factor that can provide explanations for the phenomena. I employ process tracing, content analysis (of speeches and statements made by political leaders and newspapers), elite interviews (including former top security advisers to presidents, former ministers of government organizations, naval leaders, Professors, and representatives of civic organizations), and a public survey.

  • Koguryo Kingdom Tombs: Background Document
    Koguryo Kingdom Tombs: background document The History and Culture of Koguryo Professor Lee Sungsi Waseda University, Japan Koguryo was an ancient kingdom governing a vast territory in North-East Asia from the first centuries BCE until 668 CE, when it was overthrown and perished. The name of Koryo was used more commonly than that of Koguryo after the 5th century CE–the period during which the kingdom boasted the largest territory in its history, reaching the Liao River in the west, the Songhua River and the Mudan River in the north, the Primorskii area in the east, and the middle-south part of the Korean Peninsula in the south. The Maek tribe inhabiting the middle region of the Amnok (Yalu) River formed the core of the ruling group (so-called “Koguryo tribe”) of Koguryo, in which various other tribes, such as the Ye tribe, the Puyo tribe, the Han (Korean) tribe and the Khitan tribe also lived. The Koguryo people, who originally lived in valleys and practised agriculture, defeated several tribes who mainly lived off fishing and hunting, and made them pay tribute to Koguryo. According to The Annals of the Three Kingdoms (Samguk sagi), Koguryo existed for a period of 705 years, from 37 BCE to 668 CE, under the rule of 28 successive kings. Its early genealogy is nonetheless doubtful and cannot be fully trusted: The Annals might have been modified in later periods or simply be erroneous. For this reason, some scholars claim that Koguryo’s activities as a political state date back to the 3rd century BCE.

  • Goguryeo Culture and Mural Paintings
    Goguryeo Culture and Mural Paintings Jeon Ho-tae Mural paintings in ancient tombs reflect the past ages. They are a “testimony of history” containing pictures and ideas of those who lived in the past and show the culture of the day as it was. Therefore, it is difficult to understand the paintings without considering the history and culture of those days. Analysis of the formation and content of mural paintings in Goguryeo’s ancient tombs is interlocked with understanding the path that Goguryeo had traveled, i.e., its social and cultural processes. Goguryeo history drew people’s attention in the 1990s. In particular, mural paintings in ancient tombs are emerging as a major subject of study due to their value as materials with abundant content. It is more encouraging that many treatises are being published with Goguryeo’s mural paintings as the subject. However, attempts have not been made to link the mural paintings in ancient tombs, which are the basis of funeral art, to the society and culture of the times (Jeon Ho-tae 1997b). Such an attempt must be made even if only in the sense of just presenting the data for “examination and discussion,” although there are still several areas which are hard to ascertain. This paper was prepared with this purpose in mind. Keywords: Mural paintings, Guryeo Culture, Na state, counties, prefectures. Goguryeo History and Culture 1.

  • International Situation in East Asia and Changes in Goguryeo's
    International Situation in East Asia and Changes in Goguryeo’s Foreign Policy Yeo Ho-Kyu An inquiry into the development process of Goguryeo’s foreign policy was made in this paper while the synthesis of international order in East Asia and the internal conditions of Goguryeo were taken into consideration. And the fact that Goguryeo actively negotiated with the Chinese dynasties as well as Baekje and Silla south of the Korean peninsula, the Japanese across the sea, and various tribes in the northern regions can be verified through this inquiry. The development process of Goguryeo’s foreign policy can be understood in terms of three periods: First to the third century, fourth to the mid-sixth centu- ry, and late sixth century to mid-seventh century. Goguryeo expanded its territory toward the East Sea and other areas by uti- lizing the pacifying foreign policy of China’s Later Han dynasty. But an unsta- ble international relationship was maintained through the “safeguarding of the right to existence” and “returning to the China-centric control and order” as Goguryeo repeatedly went through confrontation and investiture with the Later Han dynasty. This aspect continued even during the regime of the Gongson clan (公孫氏) and the relationship with Wei China in the third century. The unitary China-centric international order collapsed in early fourth century due to the fall of the Western Jin, and a pluralistic international order developed in its stead. At this juncture, Goguryeo pursued a foreign policy of forming peaceful diplomatic relations with the Chinese dynasties to stabilize the western borderlands on the one hand while establishing its territorial rights in the eastern region.

  • The Political and Human Rights Issues Surrounding North Korean Defectors
    The Political and Human Rights Issues Surrounding North Korean Defectors Lim Hyun-Chin and Chung Young Chul The problems surrounding North Korean defectors have recently been gaining international attention. The issue is taking a new turn after President George W. Bush signed into law the North Korean Human Rights Act in October 2004. The North Korean defector issue is complicated by the fact that their sta- tus is affected by international law, South Korean law, and by bilateral agree- ments between China and North Korea. There are several ways to look at the North Korean defector issue. Progressive South Korean interest groups disregard North Korean human rights, but conservative South Korean interest groups emphasize North Korean human rights as the most important issue. The progressive camp is interested in defectors’ living conditions, the right to return to North Korea, and the caus- es behind North Korean defections. On the other hand, the conservative camp uses the defector issue to criticize the North Korean government, and it is inter- ested in connections with the international community to pressure North Korea. These different views conflict with the issue of North Korean human rights, and they involve heated political friction over North Korea. The differ- ence is that one side believes problems with North Korea can be solved through tolerance and active cooperation while the other believes the problems can only be solved with pressure. The North Korean defector issue is intertwined with complicated relations between North and South Koreas, and China and the United States, and no clear solution is in sight.
