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. -

Journal of Content, Community & Communication Amity School of Communication Vol. 11 Year 6, June - 2020 [ISSN: 2395-7514 (Print)] Amity University, Madhya Pradesh [ISSN: 2456-9011 (Online)] PROLIFERATION OF HALLYU WAVE AND KOREAN POPULAR CULTURE ACROSS THE WORLD: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW FROM 2000-2019 Garima Ganghariya Research Scholar, Department of Mass Communication and Media Studies, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda, India Dr Rubal Kanozia Assistant Professor, Department of Mass Communication and Media Studies, Central University of Punjab, Bathinda, Punjab, India ABSTRACT The exponential growth in the popularity of Korean pop cultural products across the globe known as Hallyu wave has grabbed the attention of people worldwide. At times when the geographic boundaries have become blurred due to the virtual connectivity and advancement in internet technology, South Korean popular culture is developing at an unprecedented rate across the globe. The popularity is such that it has entered the mainstream even competing with the Hollywood films, dramas and music. The field of Hallyu though has attracted many from the academia, as it is still a newer research area, not many significant attempts have been made to review the literature in a systematic manner. The major objective of this paper is to acquire a better understanding, and a detailed review of the research regarding Hallyu wave, its allied areas, current status and trends. Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is the method used for this paper. This research has utilized the methods presented by Junior & Filho (2010), Jabbour (2013) and Seuring (2013). The researchers have deployed a systematic literature review approach to collect, analyze and synthesize data regarding the Hallyu wave, addressing a variety of topics using Google Scholar between 2000 and 2019 and selected 100 primary research articles. -

SIX DECADES OF THE ASIA FOUNDATION IN KOREA SIX DECADES OF THE ASIA FOUNDATION A PARTNER FOR CHANGE A PARTNER The AsiA Foundation in Korea 1954-2017 A PARTNER Characterizing 60 years of continuous operations of any organization is an ambitious task. Attempting to do so in a nation that has witnessed fundamental and dynamic change is even more challenging. The Asia Foundation is unique among FOR foreign private organizations in Korea in that it has maintained a presence here for more than 60 years, and, throughout, has responded to the tumultuous and vibrant times by adapting to Korea’s own transformation. The achievement of this balance, CHANGE adapting to changing needs and assisting in the preservation of Korean identity while simultaneously responding to regional and global trends, has made The Asia Foundation’s work in SIX DECADES of Korea singular.

South Korea Report
Sustainable Governance Indicators SGI 2014 South Korea Report Thomas Kalinowski, Sang-young Rhyu, Aurel Croissant (Coordinator) SGI 2014 | 2 South Korea report Executive Summary The period under assessment covers the final two years of Lee Myung-bak’s Grand National Party (GNP) administration and the first two months of the Park Geun- hye’s newly elected administration under the same party – renamed the Saenuri Party. President Park was elected in December 2012 with 51.6% of the popular vote. It is almost impossible to evaluate the governance capacity of the new administration due to the long transition period between governments, which involved many institutional and personnel changes. Even in May 2013, for example, many positions in high level government offices remain vacant. Therefore this report largely focuses on the last two years of the Lee administration, which was characterized by an extraordinarily long lame-duck period in which few institutional changes occurred and few new policy initiatives were initiated. Despite having a majority in the newly elected National Assembly, Lee’s conservative GNP has gradually shifted support to its new party chairwoman Park over the last two years. In February 2012, the GNP renamed itself the Saenuri Party in an attempt to distance itself from the unpopular President Lee. The Lee administration also lacked popular support due to its perceived failure to revive the economy, increasing social inequality in Korea, huge corruption among the president’s closest aides, and revelations of extensive illegal wire tapping and political investigations. Civil activists also criticized the use of authoritarian measures to stifle political opposition, civil society and media. -
The Korean Wave in the Middle East: Past and Present
Article The Korean Wave in the Middle East: Past and Present Mohamed Elaskary Department of Arabic Interpretation, Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, Seoul 17035, South Korea; [email protected]; Tel. +821054312809 Received: 01 October 2018; Accepted: 22 October 2018; Published: 25 October 2018 Abstract: The Korean Wave—otherwise known as Hallyu or Neo-Hallyu—has a particularly strong influence on the Middle East but scholarly attention has not reflected this occurrence. In this article I provide a brief history of Hallyu, noting its mix of cultural and economic characteristics, and then analyse the reception of the phenomenon in the Arab Middle East by considering fan activity on social media platforms. I then conclude by discussing the cultural, political and economic benefits of Hallyu to Korea and indeed the wider world. For the sake of convenience, I will be using the term Hallyu (or Neo-Hallyu) rather than the Korean Wave throughout my paper. Keywords: Hallyu; Korean Wave; K-drama; K-pop; media; Middle East; “Gangnam Style”; Psy; Turkish drama 1. Introduction My first encounter with Korean culture was in 2010 when I was invited to present a paper at a conference on the Korean Wave that was held in Seoul in October 2010. In that presentation, I highlighted that Korean drama had been well received in the Arab world because most Korean drama themes (social, historical and familial) appeal to Arab viewers. In addition, the lack of nudity in these dramas as opposed to that of Western dramas made them more appealing to Arab viewers. The number of research papers and books focused on Hallyu at that time was minimal. -

Comparative Connections a Quarterly E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations
Comparative Connections A Quarterly E-Journal on East Asian Bilateral Relations Japan-Korea Relations: Treading Water, Little Progress David Kang, Dartmouth College Ji-Young Lee, Georgetown University Although progress was made in resolving the Banco Delta Asia dispute between North Korea and the United States, and international inspectors were invited back into North Korea in June, relations between Japan and North Korea remain deadlocked, with no apparent progress or even political will to address the deep issues that divide them. Seoul and Tokyo made little progress on their history issues. However, the meeting of the foreign ministers of China, Japan, and South Korea this quarter was a positive step, and with elections coming up in Japan and South Korea, the prospect of further foreign policy changes appears likely. Japan-North Korea relations: not very good This quarter saw little movement in the stalemate between Japan and North Korea, as neither Tokyo nor Pyongyang has shown any political will to move forward toward normalizing their bilateral diplomatic relations or addressing the issues between them. North Korea announced that it saw no prospect for better relations between the two nations under the current government unless Japan changed its attitude toward key bilateral disputes. The centrality of the abduction issue in Japanese foreign policy and high political value that Prime Minister Abe Shinzo has placed on the abductions meant that Japan could not readily welcome the progress made in the Six-Party Talks. Like past quarter, Japan continued its unilateral sanctions against Pyongyang, even as its diplomatic efforts to link progress on the abduction issue with progress in stopping the North’s nuclear program gained little support from other parties in the negotiations.
