    BAB II GAMBARAN UMUM KOREA SELATAN DAN KOREA UTARA A. Terpecahnya Korea Selatan dan Korea Utara Tragedi dua Korea mulai ketika Perang Dunia II berakhir pada tahun 1945 karena Semenanjung Korea dibagi dua oleh Persatuan Bangsa-bangsa (PBB) yang dipimpin oleh Amerika Serikat (AS) dan Blok komunis yang dipimpin oleh Uni Soviet. Pembangunan Semenanjung Korea ini terjadi tanpa konsultasi dengan Perwakilan Korea dan bertentangan dengan kemauan rakyat Korea. Uni Soviet dan Republik Rakyat Cina (RRC) menanam komunisme dan memberikan berbagai senjata api kepada Korea Utara. Sedangkan AS dan negara-negara Barat mendukung Korea Selatan untuk mengembangkan demokrasi dan kapitalisme. Dengan demikian, Semenanjung Korea segera menjadi “show window”-nya Perang Dingin di Asia Timur selama setengah abad (Seung-Yoon dan Mas’oed, 2007: 114). Perang Saudara antar Korea (Korean War) dipecahkan oleh serangan mendadak pihak Korea Utara pada bulan Juni 1950. Pihak Korea Selatan yang sama sekali tidak menduga serangan itu, sehingga tidak ada pilihan kecuali mundur saja ke arah selatan. PBB segera mengirimkan pasukan sekutu terdiri dari 16 negara ke medan Perang Korea. Kali ini pasukan Korea Utara mundur ke arah utara. Pada waktu itu ratusan ribu pasukan RRC membantu pasukan Korea Utara. Akhirnya kedua belah pihak antara Korea Selatan-pasukan PBB dan Korea Utara- RRC mencapai persetujuan untuk genjatan senjata dan menandatangani perjanjian 32 pada tahun 1953. Perang ini tidak ada yang kalah dan tidak ada yang menang, hanya ada kesengsaraan dan korban. Selama tiga setengah tahun, Perang Saudara antar Korea mengakibatkan jutaan korban manusia dan menghancurkan segala prasarana di Semenanjung Korea. Sejak itu kedua Korea saling memusnahkan satu sama lain.

Introduction II. Institutionalized Networks III. Interlocking Directorates IV. Informal Networks 1. Academic Cliques 2. Diet Cliques 3. “Old Boys’” Networks 4. Marriage Ties V. Conclusion I. Introduction Networks are of distinctive importance for the communication and the coordination of interests within each elite configuration. The concept “network” implies an image of individu- als tied together with (visible and invisible) bonds and knitted into a mesh of connections (Scott 1990b: ix). The impact, which elites might exercise is magnified several times if each individual group is connected through network ties to influential leaders outside their sphere of influence. In other words, the more tightly woven the network relationships within the elite, the more easily consensus on conflicting issues can be sustained. We can distinguish between institutionalized networks, networks created by interlocking directorates and informal networks such as academic cliques or family bonds that tie the elite together and serve to maintain their unity. The administrative system establishes institutional- ized networks to provide the various interest groups with o$cial channels of communication. When specific persons hold two or more positions in di#erent sectors, so becoming multiple position holders and creating “interlocks” between sectors, we refer to a network of interlock- ing directorates.

  • The Role and Management of Public Service Broadcasting As Part of the Regional/Local Media Landscape – Comparative Analyses Between Japan’S NHK and the UK’S BBC
    Keio Communication Review No. 35, 2013 The Role and Management of Public Service Broadcasting as part of the Regional/Local Media Landscape – Comparative Analyses between Japan’s NHK and the UK’s BBC By Yoshiko NAKAMURA* Introduction The last ten years have seen a sea change in the world of broadcasting, ranging from the digitalization of terrestrial television broadcasting, the spread of the Internet to the use of digital devices ever more diverse and sophisticated. Much has been debated and reexamined concerning a changing role expected of public service broadcasting, how it should adapt to digital-age challenges and what fresh services it could offer. In Europe, the history of development of broadcasting services was primarily guided by public service broadcasters, while, in Japan, the NHK, Japan’s public service broadcasting, has led the way by breaking new ground with Hi-Vision and data broadcasting services, both of which were built on the basis of expertise refined over many years. In both Europe and Japan, the legal framework, ‘convergence law’, was put in place in order to accommodate emerging telecommunications technologies, network architecture and a flexible migration of content across multiple platforms. At the same time, the unchanging philosophy of universality has continued to be upheld and reaffirmed; ‘Information, education and entertainment for all.’ Hence various new services, offered in accordance with the spirit of duty as a public service broadcaster. TV programmes are now offered via telecommunications networks, enabled by advances in digital technology. TV contents are made accessible on a video-on-demand basis. All these services were developed in order to better serve viewers with new media access, increasingly diversified and individualised, and were aimed to ensure universality, albeit a different type, of the new age 1.
