The Commission, launched in December 2005, has strived to reveal the truth behind massacres during the Korean War, human rights abuses during the authoritarian rule, the anti-Japanese independence movement, and the history of overseas Koreans. It is not an easy task to seek the truth in past cases where the facts have been hidden and distorted for decades.

  • Analysing the Changing Trajectory of South Korea's ICT Business
    Analysing the Changing Trajectory of South Korea’s ICT Business Environment Nigel Callinan Thesis presented for the award of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Professor Bernadette Andreosso & Dr. Mikael Fernström University of Limerick Submitted to the University of Limerick November 2014 Declaration I hereby certify that this material, which I now submit for assessment on the programme of study leading to the award of Doctor of Philosophy is entirely my own work, that I have exercised reasonable care to ensure that the work is original, and does not to the best of my knowledge breach any law of copyright, and has not been taken from the work of others save and to the extent that such work has been cited and acknowledged within the text of my work. Signed: ___________________________________ I.D No: 10142886 Date: Monday 10th November 2014 2 Abstract This thesis aims to provide a new perspective on the development of South Korea’s Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) Business Environment by taking a cross-disciplinary look at the area. Most studies on this subject have tended to remain within the boundaries of a single discipline. In this study, an interdisciplinary approach is taken to trace more of the paths that have influenced the development. This will provide a better understanding of the area and this insight should make it easier for any prospective organisation hoping to enter the Korean market to be successful. In little over two generations, South Korea has transformed from being one of the poorest countries in the world into a global business leader. Currently, Information Technology products are at the forefront of exports from the country and the world’s largest electronics company hails from a city just south of Seoul.

The ch’inilp’a discourse is a unique historical narrative that claims to resolve the issue of unpunished pro-Japanese collaborators—who were not punished right after Korea’s liberation from Japan—in the present. This discourse attributes all post-1945 political mishaps to the failure to punish collaborators immediately after liberation. Located at the interlocking position of calling for dealing with the unsolved task of decolonization and democratic progress, the ch’inilp’a discourse reflects a victimized postcolonial historical consciousness of Korean progressives and functions as progressives’ ii powerful political rhetoric against political conservatives after the demise of radical socio- political reform movement in the early 1990s.

    Cambridge University Press 978-0-521-83335-6 - The Handbook of East Asian Psycholinguistics, Volume III Korean Edited by Chungmin Lee, Greg Simpson and Youngjin Kim Frontmatter More information The Handbook of East Asian Psycholinguistics A large body of knowledge has accumulated in recent years on the cognitive processes and brain mechanisms underlying language. Much of this know- ledge has come from studies of Indo-European languages, in particular English. Korean, a language of growing interest to linguists, differs significantly from most Indo-European languages in its grammar, its lexicon, and its written and spoken forms – features which have profound implications for the learning, representation and processing of language. This handbook, the third in a three- volume series on East Asian psycholinguistics, presents a state-of-the-art discussion of the psycholinguistic study of Korean. With contributions by over sixty leading scholars, it covers topics in first and second language acquisition, language processing and reading, language disorders in children and adults, and the relationships between language, brain, culture, and cogni- tion. It will be invaluable to all scholars and students interested in the Korean language, as well as cognitive psychologists, linguists, and neuroscientists. ping li is Professor of Psychology, Linguistics, Information Sciences and Technology at Pennsylvania State University.

    Transfer of Phonological and Morphological Awareness to Reading in English and Logographic Hanja among Korean Children*1 Jeung-Ryeul Cho and Jee-Young Lee Kyungnam University [email protected] This study examined differential contributions of Korean phonological and morphological processing skills to reading and spelling across Korean Hangul, logographic Hanja, and English among 107 sixth graders in Korea. In regres- sion equations, after controlling for vocabulary and phonological awareness, both number naming speed and morpheme judgment accounted for unique variance in Hangul word reading and spelling. Korean phoneme awareness explained unique variance in reading and spelling skills in English, but not in Hanja. In addition, Korean morphological awareness was found to predict reading in both Hanja and English. It is thus suggested that phonological and morphological awareness, which are both language-general abilities, transfer to reading skills across languages and writing systems.

  • International Relations Theory and the Second Korean War
    International Studies Quarterly (2003) 47, 301–324 International Relations Theory and the Second Korean War DAV I D C. KANG Dartmouth College Ever since the first Korean war in 1950, scholars and policymakers have been predicting a second one, started by an invasion from the North. Whether seen as arising from preventive, preemptive, desperation, or simple aggressive motivations, the predominant perspective in the west sees North Korea as likely to instigate conflict. Yet for fifty years North Korea has not come close to starting a war. Why were so many scholars so consistently wrong about North Korea’s intentions? Social scientists can learn as much from events that did not happen as from those that did. The case of North Korea provides a window with which to examine these theories of conflict initiation, and reveals how the assumptions underlying these theories can become mis-specified. Either scholars misunderstood the initial conditions, or they misunderstood the theory, and I show that scholars have made mistakes in both areas. Social science moves forward from clear statement of a theory, its causal logic, and its predictions. However, just as important is the rigorous assessment of a theory, especially if the predictions fail to materialize. North Korea never had the material capabilities to be a serious contender to the U.S.–ROK alliance, and it quickly fell further behind. The real question has not been whether North Korea would preempt as South Korea caught up, but instead why North Korea might fight as it fell further and further behind. The explanation for a half-century of stability and peace on the Korean peninsula is actually quite simple: deterrence works.

  • Water, Development, and Nature in Korea: Struggling Towards Sustainability
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Water, Development, and Nature in Korea: Struggling towards Sustainability Gavan McCormack Traditional Korea, like Edo period Japan, gave highest priority to avoiding growth or change. Frugality, recycling, and avoidance of waste were fundamental, local communities functioned as sustainable ecological units, meeting energy requirements from the adjacent forests and recycling wastes so as not to pollute the rivers and ground-water.1) Renewable energy, recycling of materials, and zero waste were the principles that underpinned the balance between human society and nature, and that balance was sustainable, and it was indeed sustained until the fabric of the East Asian order was torn apart and re-assembled during the tumultuous nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Despite the convulsions at the level of the state and the global system, the old order of Korean rural society only slowly declined. Late in the nineteenth century it was convulsed in rebellion, but before any revolutionary transformation could take place, the national subjugation under Japan began. The impact of Japanese colonialism (1910-1945) on the physical environment was dramatic. With the dramatic rise in population came urbanization, road, rail and harbour, infrastructural development, large-scale land reclamation and a measure of industrialization. However, the collapse of the Japanese empire in 1945, followed shortly afterwards by the Korean War (1950- 1953), saw the country devastated, set back by decades. When a regime committed to development as a national strategy was installed in 1961, it had to begin from something like a clean slate.
