중국 연구와 동북아역사재단의 역할
Chinese Studies and the Northeast Asian History Foundation's Roles Whenever I consider Korea's geopolitical location, I am reminded of the title of Clark W. Sorensen's famous 1988 book: Over the Mountains are Mountains. This is one of the best books that provide keen insight into the rural society of industrializing Korea during the 1970s and 80s. Not that this book directly addresses the geopolitical reality of the Korean Peninsula, of course. But few would deny that the book's title is a fitting description of the international political environment that keeps pushing Korea into a difficult situation. Few would question, either, that considering the situation surrounding the Korean Peninsula, the rapid rise of China in recent years can have a serious impact on the Korean Peninsula.I don't think I am the only one who thinks that when we discuss recent issues concerning North Korea's nuclear program or the unification of Korea, not to mention the Northeast Project which seems to have been discussed too much already, China's roles have become moer impo

"연구 성과, 학문적 실증 아닌 정치 목적으로 이용되는 것 경계를"
"Beware of the Political Use of Research Results" Editor's Note: At the "International Workshop on East Asian Maritime History" held at the NAHF in August 2015, experts in maritime history gathered together to take a look at East Asian history from the perspective of maritime history and review the status of results of the study of maritime history in Korea and the rest of East Asia. One of the participants in this workshop, Professor Enomoto Wataru met Research Fellow Lee, Jeong-il at the NAHF for an interview. The two researchers talked about the concept and validity of the Theory of an East Asian World and the trend of the Japan-led study of maritime history.Associate Professor ENOMOTO Wataru (榎本渉) He earned a D.,Litt. degree from the University of Tokyo.

2015년 검정통과 일본 교과서 심층 분석 학술회의 일본 교과서 속 왜곡된 역사 인식이 보내는 경고
Conference for In-depth Analysis of the 2015 Government-Approved Japanese Textbooks Caution About Japanese Textbooks That Present Distorted Perceptions of History On the 6th of April in 2015, the Japanese government announced its middle school textbook screening results. Eighteen social studies textbooks (8 history, 4 geography, and 6 civics textbooks) had passed the screening. Our concerns were confirmed as a higher number of these textbooks than before turned out to include the description that Dokdo was 'an inherent territory of Japan' but under the illegal occupation of Korea. These textbooks also still had the old problem of presenting Korean history, from ancient to present, in ways that are distorting or misleading. Their interpretations of the inscriptions on the Gwanggaeto Stele and the 1965 Korea-Japan Claims Agreement are such examples. And the controversial, distorted history textbook by Ikuhosha (育鵬社) had been adopted for use in schools in the cities of Osaka and Yokahama, bringing its adoption rate up from 3.75% in 2011 to 6.3%.A conference to address the problem of Japanese textbooks' distortion of history was held on the 30th of

1930년대 항일을 위한 한·중 연대와 독립운동의 현장
Korea-China Solidarity Against Japan During the 1930s and Korean Independence Movement Sites I participated in the Korea-China international conference on "Imperial Japan's Aggression and Korea-China Joint Struggle,” held from the 28th to the 31st of August in 2015 at the Center for Korean Studies at Fudan (復旦) University in Shanghai (上海), China. I also visited historic sites related to the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.The Korea-China Struggle Against Japan Goes UnnoticedThis conference opened with two keynote speeches, each by Han Shi-joon, Director of the Academy of Asian Studies at Dankook University, and by Shi Yuanhua (石源華), Professor at Fudan University. And five Korean and five Chinese scholars, including myself, gave presentations, which were then discussed. All the Chinese scholars stressed that the Korea-China joint struggle against Japan had played an important role in the World Anti-Fascist War and that China had also played an equally large role in World War II by, for example, dealing a serious blow to Japan in the anti-Japanese war, although,

안창호, '갈등 대립'에서 '상호 공존'으로
Ahn Chang-ho, from Conflict to Coexistence In 1910, the Japanese Empire, having begun invading East Asia in the name of 'modernity' and 'civilization,' was on the brink of annexing the Korean Empire by force, when Ahn Chang-ho and members of New People's Association fled the country. Korean migrants had built settlements in many parts of China and Russia, including Western Gando across the Abrok River, Northern Gando across the Duman River, present-day Northeast China, Vladivostok across the Ussuri River and the rest of Primorsky Krai, and even remote areas of Russia across the Amur River. Those Koreans, who had gathered together in groups to ensure their own survival, played a key role in building overseas bases for independence movement. Primorsky Krai, known to Westerners as the 'Far East,' had been a base for independence movement, even before Korea was forcibly annexed by Japan. It is no coincidence that the office of Daedonggongbo (the newspaper published by the Korean Association in Russia) in Vladivostok is where indepe

《쿠릴문제 – 역사, 법, 정책 그리고 경제》 "쿠릴열도는 러시아 땅" 주장을 뒷받침하는 흥미로운 저술
The Kuril Islands: Historical, Legal, Policy and Economic Issues An Interesting Book Supports the Claim That "Kuril Islands Are Russian Territory" This book, The Kuril Islands: Historical, Legal, Policy and Economic Issues, published by the Northeast Asian History Foundation, is a complete translation of the Russian book (“Курильская проблема: история, право, политика иэкономика”) by Boris Ivanovich Tkachenko (Борис Иванович Ткаченко) originally published in 2009 by Admiral Nevelskoy (Невельской) Maritime State University in Vladivostok. ▲ Boris Ivanovich TkachenkoB.I. Tkachenko works for the Institute of History, Archaeology and Ethnography of the Peoples of the Far-East, Far-Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Science (IHAE FEBRAS) and he has been prolific in his research on Russia-China and Russia-Japan border disputes. This book is one of his many works on border disputes, and it is worth a read for the people of Korea whose sovereignty over Dokdo is being challenged by Japan. Tkachenko's writing of this book is based on the basic assumptions that the Soviet Union's occupation of the Kuril Islands after Word War II was c

덕수궁 중명전 대한제국 비운의 현장에 내리쬐는 가을햇살
Jungmyeongjeon of Deoksugung A Fine Autumn Day at the Place Where the Korean Empire Met its Doom ▲ Jungmyeongjeon of Deoksugung restored    in 2010Walk along the Deoksugung Stonewall Walkway toward Jeong-dong until you find a nice two-story building in the alley of Jeong-dong Theater. This is Jungmyeongjeon of Deoksugung, which is thought to date back to 1897. At that time, the building was an imperial library called Suokheon (漱玉軒), located within the premises of Deoksugung (then known as Gyeongungung), although it is presently outside the palace. It is said that Suokheon was renamed Jungmyeongjeon when King Gojong moved in there after a great fire in Gyeongungung in 1904. Designed by the Russian architect A.I. Sabatin, this building reflects King Gojong's determination to embrace modern culture and civilization.By 1905, however, Japan had begun to reveal itself as a greedy invader eyeing on the Korean Empire after its victory in the Russo-Japanese War. In November of that year, Ito Hirobumi, the special envoy to the Korean Empire, paid visits to King Gojong on the 9th and 15th an
