국제관계를 보는 눈과 이념
Perceptions of International Relations and Ideology The global and Northeast Asian regional power dynamics have been undergoing fast chances since the dawn of the 21st century. History shows us that there have been many cases in which countries have either gone down the path of stability and prosperity or that of decline and collapse depending on how it responded to changes in regional and international orders. Korean history is no exception. Moreover, dissension among domestic factions has sometimes led to internal strife in times of rapid changes in the international order. There is sharp division concerning foreign affairs in 21st-century Korea. Given that the division is based on ideological differences, the confrontation is expected to be protracted.

한ㆍ일 역사영상 심포지엄 영화 속에 투영된 일제 식민 지배와 전쟁의 내면
The Inner World of Japan's Colonial Rule and War Projected in Films In the run-up to the centennial of Japan's forced annexation of Korea (August 29), the symposium "In-Depth Exploration of Korea-Japan Relations in Film" was held on the June 19. It took place at the Korean Cultural Center in Tokyo and was sponsored by the Northeast Asian History Foundation. The symposium tied history, which can often be stuffy and dull, with film. It was thus an unusual symposium which the general public found accessible.

독도ㆍ울릉도 연구 역사ㆍ고고ㆍ지리학적 고찰
Research on Dokdo & Ulleungdo An In-Depth Historical, Archeological, and Geographical Study The purpose of this research is to analyze the key issues surrounding Dokdo and Ulleungdo from perspectives different from those of existing research in order to clearly assess the mainstream arguments while also open up new discussions. The work takes a historical/archeological/geographical approach to five themes: An Yong-bok's capture; perceptions of Usando; nature of the Dajokan order; society of ancient Ulleungdo; Dokdo's functional & spatial value and ownership over Dokdo. The work will serve to expand the horizon on the understanding of Dokdo & Ulleungdo as it spans a wide chronological spectrum—from the ancient period to the present—and tackles major issues concerning the islands from diverse viewpoints.

양심에 따라 조선 독립을 도운 후세 다쓰지
Fuse Tatsuji, Who Followed His Conscience to Help Realize Korean Independence Fuse Tatsuji (布施辰治, 1880-1953), ashamed of being a citizen of imperialist Japan, was Japan's conscience. As a human rights lawyer, Fuse took the side of colonial subjects oppressed by Japan's rule. "Much knowledge and long-term learning is required to develop a philosophy to do away with the law of the jungle and put the said philosophy into action under the ideology of fraternity. Law, along with ethics, is a fundamental social principle, which is why studying law is a part of one's philosophical research (The Life of a Lawyer, 1963)." Fuse studied law in order to become a lawyer and help the powerless.

윈난은 소수민족의 천국인가?
Is Yunnan a Paradise for Ethnic Minorities? Last May, I had an opportunity to travel to Yunnan. I was very excited as it was a place I had long wished to visit. I had visited Xinjiang in the summer of 2005. I was very moved by what I saw and experienced there, and this fed my expectations for my trip to Yunnan. When I visited Xinjiang, I got to take in my fair share of the region's expansive deserts and luscious mountains. I also got to experience the extremely hot (over 50℃) and dry weather characteristic of deserts and observe the daily lives of the people living there.

한일강제병합 100년과 역사적 정의
The Centennial of Japan's Forced Annexation of Korea and its Historical Significance August 2010 marks the centennial of Japan's forced annexation of Korea. E. H. Carr, a leading historian of the 20th century, commented in his tour de force What is History that "history is an unending dialogue between the present and the past." If that is the case, at the 100th anniversary of the Japan's forced annexation, history is asking us about the fundamental significance of the centennial of the annexation.

백두산 화산 폭발과 발해 멸망
Volcanic Eruption of Mount Baekdu and the Fall of Balhae Question Korean and overseas geologists have been saying that the volcanic eruption of Mount Baekdu is imminent. Some even claim that the fall of Balhae some 1,000 years ago was caused by the volcanic eruption of Mount Baekdu. What should we make of this claim?
