An Integrated Study on Manchuria and Yeonhaeju, a Beginning for Peaceful, Co-existing Northeast Asia 배경한 신라대 교수 -->To most people today, Manchuria refers to the three provinces in northeast China—Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang. Meanwhile Yeonhaeju is a translation of the Russian term “Primorskij Kraj,” which refers to the far eastern region of Russia that faces the East Sea. Since Manchuria and Yeonhaeju belong to the territories of China and Russia respectively, they are often thought unrelated, separate regions. Looking at these two regions in the map, however, one can observe that they are bordering each other, closely linked together, despite the mountains and a river dividing the two. In particular, East Manchuria and Yeonhaeju not only have a similar natural environment including the climate and vegetation, but the Songhua River that runs through the center of Manchuria meets the Amur River that runs around the outer region of Manchuria, and flows together into the Sea of Okhotsk. As the Korean peninsula has long been sharing history as one historical community, Manchuria and

"일본은 협동적인 동아시아 안보 체계 형성을 위해 미래지향적인 자세를 취해야"
"Japan should be more future-oriented in order to build a cooperative security system in East Asia" The inter-Korean relationship and security situations in the Korean peninsula are moving fast toward an unpredictable future. As efforts from various angles are being made to re-open the Six-party Talks on the North Korean nuclear problem, the Foundation has invited Professor Sandip Kumar Mishra from Delhi University, a specialist in the security issue of the Korean peninsula. While staying at the Foundation, Prof. Mishra researched Korean identity and exchanged his ideas with scholars through talks and presentations. This month's issue of the newsletter presents an interview of Prof. Mishra, a researcher of Korean identity and the security of the Korean peninsula, and Dr. Bae of the Northeast Asian History Foundation.

'사극' 재조명 심포지움 드라마에 나타난 역사의 진실과 왜곡을 논하다
Symposium: Re-thinking 'Historical Drama' Discourse on Historical Truth and Distortion in Dramas On June 22, a rainy Wednesday afternoon, the grand conference room of the Northeast Asian History Foundation was buzzed with people. I had attended a number of seminars and symposiums about dramas as a presenter or discussant before, but this occasion felt particularly exciting to me. I have produced and directed a number of historical dramas including A Kingdom of Wind and episodes of Hometown Legends, but it was my first symposium on historical dramas and also I had the honor of being the master of ceremony of the occasion.

AKSE Attending AKSE Conference in Moscow The AKSE (Association for Korean Studies in Europe) Conference in Moscow from June 17 to 20 was an important occasion to learn the present state of Korean studies in Europe. The Conference, held at Moscow University's Asian Studies building that oversees Kremlin Palace, was attended by 168 scholars from 25 countries, and 40 panel meetings continued for 4 days. It was the biggest conference ever held by the AKSE, and yet the fact that more people wished to attend the conference but could not due to lack of capacity shows the great interest and expectation this conference has drawn.

China's Publication and Research of Qing History 헌법9조의 사상수맥 -->China started in 2003 a ten year project called ‘Publication Project of New Qing History’ (Qing History Project, henceforth), but it hardly gets any attention from Korea except for a few scholars. While the ‘Northeast Project’ which China started around the same time has gained great interest from Koreans so that most Koreans are aware of it now, the Qing History Project has somehow escaped the attention of Koreans even though it is a much more important project in its scale and significance. The Qing History Project was launched motivated by zealous appeal from Qing historians and aided by enormous financial support from the Chinese central government. As a result, approximately 1,500 scholars are participating in this gigantic project for ten years, and now it is about to reach its conclusion. Considering its magnitude and importance, it should have received much more political, academic, and practical attention than it has received so far. Legacy of the Qing Dynasty De

새 역사교과서에 나타난 일본의 본심
Japan's Intention Revealed by New History Textbooks The backbone of the new history textbooks by Jiyusha and Ikuhosha is built based on Fusosha's social studies and civics textbook, a rightwing textbook published in 2006. In particular, The Ikuhosha textbook is almost like a new edition of the Fusosha textbook, whose contents it has mostly borrowed, edited and palliated a little. The Jiyusha textbook also shares more than 80% of its contents with the Fusosha, but it is more blatant in its history distortion about the Japanese aggression, persecution, and colonial rule. In this regard, these new textbooks can be said "twins" of Fusosha's 2006 social studies and civics textbook.

From Fangchung to Huangchinping, Recapturing Glorious History and Grand Purpose A trip to the border region between Korea and China, Manchuria, Dongbei Sansheng (Three Northeast Provinces), Gando ... whatever the name is, makes one's heart run faster. With excitement and anticipation, I joined a group of journalists in a tour of Northeast China from Fangchung, the lowest reaches of the Tumen River, to Dandong and to Huanchinping from June 25 to July 2. Throughout the tour, I felt wonder and joy, but this excitement was dimmed with sadness and gloom whenever North Korea came into my sight.
