아시아의 미래와 한국의 역할
South Korea’s Roles in the Future of Asia In the 21st century, the world's center is shifting rapidly toward Asia. East Asia in general, including South Korea, China, Japan and the ASEAN nations, has already surpassed the United States or the European Union in economic output, and China in particular is expected to replace the United States as the world's most powerful economy by the 2030s. South Korea, while dealing with internal challenges as a divided nation and an aging society, has many roles to play in the future of Asia as a leading middle power located at the geopolitical center of Northeast Asia bridging between powerful and weak nations, and between advanced and developing ones. Specifically, there are five main areas in which South Korea is expected to play important roles: sustainable economic development; regional cooperation and integration; democracy and human rights; green growth; and cultural communications.

아베 신조의 "침략의 정의"에 대한 망언의 국제법적 실체와 함의
Shinzo Abe's "Definition of Aggression" Remark and its Implications under International Law Editor's Note: Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's recent remark claiming that the definition of aggression could differ from country to country is an attempt to downplay or whitewash the history of Japan's aggression in the neighboring countries. It is also an example that Japan's conservative swing is becoming increasingly blatant. In this special report, Abe's remark will be analyzed and criticized with focus on the definition of what constitutes 'aggression' under international law.

On May 29, 2013 in Seoul, they held a joint press conference on the result of their collaboration. One of the co-authors shared his experience in making the textbook.On November 24, Saturday, 2012, the two history teachers in Daegu took what they hoped would be 'their last weekend trip for volunteer work' to Humanist Books in Seoul. They would finally see the final version of Korea and Japan, and What Happened Between Them (the title of the Japanese edition is The Modern and Contemporary History of Korea and Japan (学び、つながる日本と韓国の近現代史)), the common history textbook that had taken the Korean and Japanese co-authors seven arduous years to complete, from putting together the final draft through discussion at ten international conferences (six in Seoul and four in Hiroshi

새롭게 본 광개토왕비:『광개토왕비의 재조명』소개
Introduction to The Gwanggaeto Stele Under a New Light The 12-character-long posthumous epithet engraved on the Gwanggaeto Stele sums up the life and campaigns of King Gwanggaeto, who lived through a turbulent century. Erected in 414, the Gwanggaeto Stele is a monument carved out of a natural stone inscribed with up to 1775 characters which describe Koguryo's foundation, political thought, society and economy, law, and international relations, among other elements unique to Koguryo's history. At the same time, it is also a testament to the falsehood of China's Northeast Project.

Choi Ik-hyunAn Uncompromising Man of Action, and a Scholar and Patriot Who Practiced What He Learned When we hear the news about the recent controversies generated by the provocative remarks and deeds of Japan's Prime Minster and other political leaders and right-wing organizations about history between Korea and Japan, we are reminded of the great scholar and ardent patriot Choi Ik-hyuon who thundered against the corrupt and incompetent court of 19th-century Korea, and raised up an army himself to defend and save his country from Japan's aggression. Here is an overview of his life devoted to saving his country and what it means to us.

Critical Problems in Paying Tribute at the Yasukuni Shrine Q Three cabinet members of Japan, including Deputy Prime Minister Tara Aso, and as many as 168 Diet members paid a visit to Yasukuni Shrine during its Annual Spring Festival (April 21-23). And Shinzo Abe sent a tribute to the shrine in the name of Prime Minister of Japan. While these Japanese politicians' actions were provocative enough to have prompted South Korea's Foreign Minister to cancel the planned visit to Japan and talks with his Japanese counterpart. the Japanese government is defending them. Tokyo's position is that there is nothing wrong with political leaders respecting and honoring those who gave their lives for their country and that Japan will try to help their neighboring countries understand this. Let us examine what is at the heart of the controversy surrounding Japanese politicians' visits to Yasukuni Shrine that has been rekindled since Abe took office as Prime Minster.

중년에 다시 불러보는 '독도는 우리땅'
Singing 'Dokdo Is Our Land' Again Dokdo is the Shangri-la of patriotism in my heart; just hearing its name makes me very emotional and want to cry out something. My special feeling for Dokdo has something to do with the island's history and international power relations surrounding the Korean peninsula that I learned growing up. Back in the 1980s, we learned all there was to know about Dokdo from the lyrics of popular song 'Dokdo Is Our Land' because visiting Dokdo was not possible at that time. You could almost call yourself a master of Dokdo if you knew the lyrics by heart and could sing the song from beginning to end. Today, anyone willing to spend time and money to do so can visit Dokdo, if the weather permits.
