한중일의 공동 역사 인식 모색과 동아시아 평화
East Asia Seeks Common Ground on Historical Perception and Peace in the Region 'Modern and Contemporary History of East Asia' Books 1 and 2, written by co-authors from the three East Asian countries (South Korea, China, and Japan), have been published after six years of their painstaking collaborative efforts. This is the second book of its kind after 'History That Opens the Future' that was written in response to Japan's distortion of history and reflected the co-authors' nervous excitement in their first attempt to find common ground on historical perception. In this second collaborative project, as is often the case in any relationship, the co-authors got to know one another better and, in the process, realized the differences among the three countries in historical experience, historical sentiment, and historical perception. And the outcome of the project, 'Modern and Contemporary History of East Asia,' reflects the years they spent trying to overcome those differences.

"'식민지배 합법화 일본판결 효력 우리 헌법상 승인 불가' 대법원 강제징용피해 배상판결, 역사의 정의 향한 물꼬 터" 최봉태 변호사 VS 도시환 연구위원
"The Decision of the Japanese Court Deeming Colonial Rule Lawful Overruled under the Korean Constitution is the First Step toward Historical Justice" In a May 24, 2012 decision, the Supreme Court of Korea invalidated the decision of the Japanese court, which deemed the forced conscription during the Japanese occupation period lawful in itself, on the grounds that it contradicted the core value of the Korean Constitution. NAHF Research Fellow Doh See-hwan, who led the Korean and Japanese intellectuals to issue the 'Joint Statement Declaring the 1910 Korea-Japan Annexation Treaty Null and Void' in 2010, had the following interview with attorney Choi Bong-tae, who has worked for twelve years on the lawsuit seeking compensation for damage caused by Japan's forced conscription.

근대 이행기 한일 관계와 인식에 관한 연구
Studies of the Korea-Japan Border and the Perception There of during the Transitional Period toward Modern Times In 1900, the Korean Empire issued 'Imperial Edict #41' to upgrade Ulleungdo to Uldo-gun, the status of administrative unit gun, and place the entire Ulleungdo as well as 'Jukdo(竹島)' and 'Dokseom (石島)' under the jurisdiction of Uldogun. Jukdo and Dokseom as mentioned in the edict refer to 'Daetseom,' the island located right next to Ulleungdo, and present-day Dokdo, respectively. Even though it is plain that Seokdo (石島) is Dokdo, some Japanese researchers think of it differently. They argue that 'Seokdo' mentioned in the Imperial Edit #41 is not Dokdo, as maintained by the Korean academia, but 'Gwaneumdo.'

조선후기 선린우호 외교의 개척자, 아메노모리 호슈(雨森芳洲)
Amenomori Hoshu (雨森芳洲), the Pioneer of Good-Neighbor Diplomacy in the Late Joseon Period "Amenomori Hoshu (雨森芳洲), who was in charge of diplomacy with Joseon 270 years ago, is said to have believed in good faith as the guiding principle in foreign relations." Amenomori Hoshu emerged as the symbol of good-faith diplomacy as former South Korean President Roh Tae-woo made the comment above in his palace dinner speech during his visit to Japan in 1990. This speech that attributed the historical source of the premise that 'Progress toward the common ideal and value can be made based on mutual respect and understanding' to Hoshu bewildered the Japanese, who didn't know and tried to find out who Hoshu was.

독도를 지키는 사람들, 안용복·김장훈을 만나다
My Encounter with Ahn Yong-bok and Kim Jang-hoon, the Dokdo Defenders Last winter, I attended for the first time the 2nd History Concert hosted by the Northeast Asian History Foundation. The 'History Concert' poster on the school bulletin board had caught my attention during a recess. After some internal debate, I signed up to participate in the event, thinking that it would be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. On November 30, I received a text message confirming my participation in the History Concert. Actually, I am an aspiring historian, and had thought that participating in the History Concert would be one of the first things I could do for history. It is my belief that all the Koreans should have at least basic, if not in-depth, knowledge of history if they were to resolve historical conflicts in Northeast Asia. For this reason, I felt that the History Concert would be a good opportunity for me to learn what I would need as a future history major.

'최근 중국의 '장성' 길이 확정 관련 진실은? Question The recent announcement of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage (SACH) of China that the length of 'The Great Wall' of China is over 20,000 km has received attention and backlash from the media and academia of Korea. What is this new claim about? And what is the Chinese government's purpose behind it?
