일본군‘위안부’는 현재진행형의 인권침해 문제
Comfort Women, an Ongoing Human Rights Issue Over the Chuseok holiday, the Korean film "I Can Speak" quietly attracted an audience of three million alongside blockbusters that took hefty costs to produce. The film features a humorous, yet heartfelt story about former Japanese military "comfort women." Comfort women still remain at the center of a long-standing issue yet to be resolved. At a time when even some in Korea wish to look away from the painful truth about compatriots who are comfort women victims, this month's interview presents Secretary General Watanabe Mina of the Women's Active Museum on War and Peace (WAM), someone from the aggressor nation Japan who is trying to inform the truth about the history of the Japanese military comfort women.

글로벌 전신 네트워크와 한국의 접속
Korea's Access to the Global Telegraph Network When was the term "global village" first used in the history of mankind? Around the time Korea opened its ports, the Korean intellectual Yu Gil-jun believed the term had emerged from the appearance of the telegraph. In "Seoyu gyeonmun" (西遊見聞), a travelogue of the West Yu Gil-jun authored in 1895, he mentions that "as an overstatement, people in the West say "the telegraph has practically turned the whole world into a single household for humans," but it is in fact not an overstatement." Through this phrase Yu Gil-jun points out that as a member of a global village, Korea needs to gain access to a spiderweb-like global communication network. The reason for making such an argument was because he believed that communicating with the world could help Korea start breaking away from a world view that revolves around China and transform itself into an independent modern state.

중앙유라시아사 속에서 한국 고대사를 조망하다
Ancient Korean History in Central Eurasian History Samarkand! The city along Silk Road's main trade route where the royal palace of the Sogdians used to be and still proudly presents the splendor of all sorts of architecture demonstrating the Timurid Empire's prosperity. From this crossroad, an extensive trade route emerged since the ancient times to connect the Mediterranean coast, Syria, Azerbaijan, Iran, India to its west with Tashkent and the Talas region to its east, which continues to stretch through China, Mongolia, to reach the Korean peninsula. And ten kilometers to the northeast of Samarkand lies the historical site of Afrasiyab.

중국 ‘일대일로’ 전략의 한반도 시사점
Implications of China's "One Belt, One Road" for the Korean Peninsula On September 14, 2017, the Northeast Asian History Foundation invited Korean experts, experts from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, Peking University, Taiwan's Academia Sinica, and Chinese journalists to discuss the theme "China's One Belt, One Road and East Asia: Conflict and Cooperation." The "One Belt One Road" (一帶一路) initiative China has been promoting since it was revealed by the Xi Jinping administration in 2013 is a national development strategy aimed at China's political, economic, military, and cultural revival in the world by restoring the land and sea routes of the Silk Road. As the initiative has been gaining momentum each year, the recent conference served as an occasion to gain a better grasp on what kind of world order China aspires to build today and how President Xi Jinping plans to achieve the "great revival of the Chinese nation."
