POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT: Presentation by Hyehoon LEE, Member, Supreme Council, Saenuri Party; Stockwell DAY, Former Minister of International Trade & Minister Republic of Korea Currently, multiple political leadership changes are happening in Northeast Asia. Along with this megatrend of leadership changes, various other changes are taking place, including the rise of nationalism due to territorial disputes; power shifts; the shifting balance of power; the rise of China; a rebalancing or pivoting US; a returning Russia; a Japan trying to ‘normalize’ by erasing the image of defeat post-WWII; South Korean policy changes towards North Korea; and North Korea’s reprioritizing from a Military First policy to party and economy first policy. Thus, change in international relations is expected to be extremely dynamic if all of these trends are set in motion. Within Korean domestic politics, there will be a presidential election on December 19th. Currently, there are three candidates running: Madam Park, daughter of the former President Park Chung-Hee, is running as the ruling party’s nominee; Ahn, a successful businessman, is running as an independent; and Moon, a lawyer and chief of staff for former President Roh, is the nominee of the main opposition party, the Democratic United Party. In a recent public opinion poll, Park scored 37.7%, Ahn 29.8% and Moon 22.5%. Although the poll illustrated Park’s prominent position in a three-way competition, if Ahn and Moon supporters are merged, Park would lose. In the case of the 2002 presidential election, President Roh and Jeong agreed on a single candidacy at the very last minute. Timing thus seems the most important part when forming an alliance. All three candidates declared economic democratization as the upcoming election’s main issue. Economic democratization has never been an issue until general public started to think about it due to ongoing polarization. A recent public survey showed that 98% of people considered economic democratization as the most important topic for the election. In essence, economic democratization can be described as building a safety net to protect ‘economically weak’ small and medium enterprises (SME) from chaebol, or business conglomerates. Over the years, Korea’s chaebols have developed through economic concentration. SMEs, usually subcontractors, are shaken or collapse according to the chaebols’ decision. Thus, new policies of limiting economic concentration by the chaebol are highly expected to be proposed by each candidate. 6 Usually, discussions in presidential elections focus heavily on different visions and policies related to people’s livelihood. However, in the current election, rather than policy discussions, the focus has been on the candidacy collision issue. It is time for candidates to debate over different policies such as economic democratization rather than focusing on candidacy alliances. In other words, the election should be more policy-oriented, or else it will lead to a tragic result. Canada For Canada, three points bear mentioning. For starters, looking at Canadian politics in the past, the Liberal Party became the governing party in 1990 when the Conservative parties split the votes. But in 2000, the two Conservative parties came together under the name of Alliance Party. In politics, having two or more political parties means having two or more different policy options that people can choose from. It is certainly beneficial to people since they can make decisions more easily when there is a clear policy distinction. In Canada, two opposite parties had clear differences in fiscal and economic policies. In terms of economic policies along with political development, Canada did not consider a stimulus during the 2008 world economic crisis. Even during this economic downturn, when most of the world was considering a stimulus, Canada had very limited view of it. Quantitative easing sounded attractive, but this would increase the money supply and possible lead to an increase in inflation and a decrease in debt and credit capability. In January, 2013, the United States will face a downgrading since pumping in 40 billion dollars every month will not be plausible or possible. With a very limited view of quantitative easing, Canada introduced significant rules, including a banking regulatory system. As a result, the World Economic Forum, OECD and IMF all pointed to Canada

  • Zainichi” Literature
    KIM TAL-SU AND EARLY “ZAINICHI” LITERATURE BY Robert J. Del Greco Submitted to the department of East Asian Languages and Cultures and the faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Arts _______________________ Committee Chair Elaine Gerbert _______________________ Maggie Childs _______________________ Kyoim Yun Date defended: April 23, 2009 The Thesis Committee for Robert Del Greco certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: KIM TAL-SU AND EARLY “ZAINICHI” LITERATURE Committee: ______________________________ Chairperson: Elaine Gerbert Maggie Childs Kyoim Yun Date approved: April 24, 2009 2 Abstract: Japan’s population of ethnic Koreans comprises the nation’s largest ethnic minority and is unique among world minorities for both its origins and current circumstances. Although there exists a limited amount of scholarship which examines the history and politics of this group, the vibrant contributions of resident, or ‘Zainichi,’ Koreans to Japan’s literary community provide an opportunity to see their lives as they themselves see them, and hear their stories as they tell them to each other and to the Japanese around them. The purpose of this study is to analyze the literary contributions of a founding member of the Zainichi literary community, Kim Tal-su, and by providing several short translations of his works, allow the reader to interact, as directly as possible, with early Zainichi literature. The study further places Kim among his contemporaries and postulates his influence on later generations of Zainichi writers. As I examine the development of Korean minority literature I will consider what characterizes the Zainichi experience and how Kim narrates these experiences compared to later generations of authors.

  • Climate Change and Mitigation Policies: the Case of the Republic of Korea
    Master’s Degree in Relazioni Internazionali Comparate Final Thesis Climate change and mitigation policies: the case of the Republic of Korea Supervisor Ch. Prof. Stefano Soriani Assistant supervisor Ch. Prof. Rosa Caroli Graduand Giulia Fiorini Matricolation number 866141 Academic Year 2018 / 2019 Abstract Sulla scena internazionale odierna, il tema del cambiamento climatico ha assunto un ruolo di primo piano. La causa principale di tale cambiamento l'innalzamento delle temperature medie mondiali, fenomeno conosciuto come riscaldamento globale, a sua volta dovuto agli elevatissimi livelli di gas serra (o gas a effetto serra) immessi nell'atmosfera a cause delle attività dell'uomo. Se non si riducono le emissioni di questi gas la situazione diventerà sempre più grave: un ulteriore aumento delle temperature porterà ad un aumento di fenomeni naturali estremi e causerà ingenti danni agli ecosistemi, con conseguente perdita di risorse. La Corea del Sud rappresenta uno dei maggiori produttori di gas serra mondiale e per questo motivo da tempo prende parte attiva ai tentativi internazionali di contrastare il fenomeno del cambiamento climatico. L'argomento di questa tesi, quindi, sono le politiche di mitigazione al cambiamento climatico messe in atto e sviluppate dalla Corea del Sud. L'obiettivo è analizzare tali politiche e cercare di capire se possano essere efficaci nella lotta al cambiamento climatico; si cercherà inoltre di presentare la posizione della Corea a livello internazionale in tema di clima. La tesi si basa sull'analisi informazioni e dati presenti in fonti bibliografiche di diversa natura, tra cui articoli in riviste specializzate, articoli di quotidiani, siti internet, libri, rapporti e documenti ufficiali.

  • Policies, Promoters, and Patterns of Japanese-Korean
    POLICIES, PROMOTERS, AND PATTERNS OF JAPANESE-KOREAN AND JAPANESE-TAIWANESE MARRIAGES IN IMPERIAL JAPAN: MAKING A CASE FOR INCLUSIVE HISTORY A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Ai Baba August 2019 © 2019 Ai Baba POLICIES, PROMOTERS, AND PATTERNS OF JAPANESE-KOREAN AND JAPANESE-TAIWANESE MARRIAGES IN IMPERIAL JAPAN: MAKING A CASE FOR INCLUSIVE HISTORY Ai Baba, Ph.D. Cornell University 2019 This dissertation examines the policies, promoters, and patterns of Japanese- Korean marriages (naisen kekkon) and Japanese-Taiwanese marriages (naitai kyōkon) in imperial Japan. It seeks to answer why the Japanese empire sanctioned intermarriage when the Euro-American empires condemned marriage between colonizers and colonized subjects in the twentieth century. It also questions who were the people that promoted intermarriage and why people intermarried in Japan, where the government legalized intermarriage but did not promote it at the national level. This research further investigates what happened to people who intermarried before 1945 in postwar Japan, and why so little is known about the history of Japanese- Korean and Japanese-Taiwanese marriages in contemporary Japan. With existing studies on the history of intermarriage in the Japanese empire focusing on colonial Korea and Taiwan, this project focuses on Japan. Through analysis of internal and external influences on the discourse of intermarriage in the metropole, it first argues that imperial Japan’s sanctioning of intermarriage was based on its population policies and observations of its contemporaneous empires, thus should not be equated with the absence of racism in Japan and its isolation from the world.

  • Zainichi Recognitions: Japan's Korean Residents' Ideology and Its Discontents
    Volume 6 | Issue 11 | Article ID 2939 | Nov 01, 2008 The Asia-Pacific Journal | Japan Focus Zainichi Recognitions: Japan's Korean Residents' Ideology and Its Discontents John Lie Zainichi Recognitions: Japan’s Korean In Kaneshiro Kazuki’sGo (2000), the Residents’ Ideology and Its Discontents protagonist, Sugihara, opens the novel with a description of his communist, North Korean John Lie father, the Japanese colonization of Korea, and the family’s desire to visit Hawaii—a vacation that requires switching their nationality from North Korean to South Korean (and shifting their membership from North Korea-affiliated Soren to South Korea-affiliated Mindan). The stuff of the novel’s first five pages has been recounted countless times by Japanese and Zainichi writers, but no one would have imagined that it would make a best-selling novel. Reciting Bruce Springsteen’s “Born in the U.S.A.”—though observing that Springsteen grew up in a poor family whereas his family is well-off—Sugihara sings his own refrain of “Born in Japan.” At once erudite and violent, he is highly individualistic and antiauthoritarian; he is the proverbial nail that should have been hammered in. In the 1960s and 1970s, Zainichi was all seriousness and suffering: as the pejorative slang would have put it, “dark” [kurai]. The unbearable burden of Zainichi being traumatized, Zainichi life-course and discourse. Instead, Kaneshiro’s prose and protagonist exemplify a striking mode of being cool [kakkoii] in contemporary Japanese culture. Who Am I? Kaneshiro’s book—made a year later into an acclaimed film—capped decades of Zainichi Go: Kaneshiro Kazuki's ethnic ferment in which the question of identity best-selling novel was was paramount.

  • Zainichi (Koreans in Japan): Diasporic Nationalism and Postcolonial Identity
    Zainichi (Koreans in Japan): Diasporic Nationalism and Postcolonial Identity John Lie Published in association with University of California Press Description: This book traces the origins and transformations of a people—the Zainichi, migrants from the Korean peninsula to Japan and their descendants. Using a wide range of arguments and evidence—historical and comparative, political and social, literary and pop-cultural—John Lie reveals the social and historical conditions that gave rise to Zainichi identity, while simultaneously demonstrating its complex, fractured, even ephemeral nature. Key to understanding Zainichi ideology are, for Lie, the nationalist yearnings it expressed from a condition of diaspora and discrimination. Lie’s nuanced treatment acknowledges both the tragic and triumphant qualities embedded in this formulation, while resisting the essentialism it implies. Rather, he embraces the vicissitudes of the lived experience of Koreans in Japan, shedding light on the vexing topics of diaspora, migration, identity, and group formation. Author: John Lie is Class of 1959 Professor of Sociology and Dean of International and Area Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.

  • Performing Postcolonial Feminine Identity As Shaman: Building Narrative Bridges Between Two Worlds by Soo Mi Lee a Dissertatio
    Performing Postcolonial Feminine Identity as Shaman: Building Narrative Bridges Between Two Worlds by Soo Mi Lee A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Japanese Language in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Alan Tansman, Chair Professor Daniel C. O’Neill Professor Jiwon Shin Professor Trinh T. Minh-ha Fall 2015 Abstract Performing Postcolonial Feminine Identity as Shaman: Building Narrative Bridges Between Two Worlds by Soo Mi Lee Doctor of Philosophy in Japanese Language University of California, Berkeley Professor Alan Tansman, Chair This dissertation examines the construction of women’s autobiographical voices within literature, particularly those produced for Japanese-reading audiences by Zainichi women. Zainichi typically refers to a specific group of “foreigners” residing in postwar Japan— Korean residents who can trace their diasporic roots to Japan’s colonial rule of Korea (1910-1945). Throughout postwar Japanese history, the Zainichi experience has been a complicated one, as it has been informed by racism in Japan as well as by Japan and Korea’s postwar relationship. My dissertation looks at literary arts produced by Zainichi women, with a special focus on the illocutionary power of autobiographical expression as a means to promote social change and equality in contemporary Japanese society. This dissertation analyzes various trans-medial forms of autobiographical expression utilized by three female authors—Lee Yang-ji (1955-1992), Kim Manri (1953- ) and Yu Miri (1968- ). These women have a particular commonality: in addition to their writing, they are all, or once were, performing artists (Lee a musician/dancer, Kim a performance artist, and Yu a theater actress/playwright).

Mayoritas dari mereka tinggal di Cina, Amerika Serikat, dan Jepang. Alasan utama melakukan migrasi adalah mencari kehidupan yang lebih layak dan menghindari penjajahan. Migrasi ke Jepang dimulai sejak Perjanjian Ganghwa di tahun 1876 hingga akhir Perang Dunia II 1945, para imigran korea di Jepang memiliki nama khusus yaitu Korea Zainichi. Kehidupan Korea Zainichi di Jepang adalah yang tersulit dibanding negara migrasi lainnya. Hingga saat ini, sebagian besar keturunan Korea Zainichi telah menaturalisasikan status kewarganegaraannya namun masih ada sebagian lain yang belum memperoleh naturalisasi karena berbagai alasan.
