  • The South Korean ethnic diaspora US lobby shows efficacy as an interest group in generating influence in American foreign and domestic public policy making. The persuasive portrayal of South Korea as a critical Cold War US ally reinforced US amenability to pro-South Korea lobbying. Also, the South Korean US diaspora is a comparatively recent immigrant group, thus its lingering resistance to assimilation facilitates its political mobilization to lobby the US government. One source of this influence includes the foundational legacy of proselytizing Western and particularly American religious social movement representatives in Korean religiosity and society. US protestant Christianity acquired a strong public association with emerging Korean nationalism in response to Japanese imperialism and occupation. Hostility towards Japanese colonialism followed by the threat from Soviet-sponsored, North Korean Communism meant Christianity did not readily become a cultural symbol of excessive external, US interference in South Korean society by South Korean public opinion. The post-Cold War shift in US foreign policy towards targeting so-called rogue state vestiges of the Cold War including North Korea enhanced further South Korea's influence in Washington. Due to essential differences in the perceived historical role of American influence, extrapolation of the South Korean development model is problematic. US hegemony in South Korea indicates that perceived alliance with national self-determination constitutes the core of soft power appeal. Civilizational appeal per se in the form of religious beliefs are not critically significant in promoting American polity influence in target polities in South Korea or, comparatively, in the Middle East. The United States is a perceived opponent of pan-Arab nationalism which has trended towards populist Islamic religious symbolism with the failure of secular nationalism. The pronounced component of evangelical Christianity in American core community nationalism which the Trump campaign exploited is a reflection of this orientation in the US.

  • 이 글은 '진보주의자' 마루야마 마사오[丸山眞男]의 '냉전자유주의'를 해명함으로써 패전과 냉전 초기의 일본에서 영위된 진보적 자유주의의 실체를 해명한다. '민주'와 '평화'가 모색된 패전과 냉전 초기의 공간에서 일본의 자유주의가 냉전적 현실에 투사되는 양상을 마루야마의 리얼리즘과 내셔널리즘에 초점을 맞추어 분석한다. 마루야마의 냉전자유주의는 자유주의의 냉전적 존재양태와 냉전의 자유주의적 해석의 두 측면에서 파악할 수 있다. 자유주의의 냉전적 존재양태가 근대일본의 자유주의의 시간적 계승의 양상을 파악하는 것이라면, 냉전의 자유주의적 해석은 냉전 상황에서의 자유주의의 공간적 표출을 포착하는 것이다. 마루야마의 냉전자유주의는 내셔널리즘과 리얼리즘을 매개로 표현된다. 마루야마는 냉전적 현실에 대응하여 '민주'와 '평화'를 모색하는 과정에서 냉전 구조에서 생겨난 반공 논리에 근거한 새로운 형태의 파시즘을 비판하였고, 리얼리즘의 입장에서 평화를 모색하였다. 마루야마에게 냉전체제의 '두 개의 세계'를벗어나는 길이 '중립'과 '평화'였다면, 파시즘을 벗어나는 길은 '공평한 판단'과184 | 동북아역사논총 59호'자주적 결사'였다. 마루야마의 냉전자유주의에서 주체는 '시민'보다는 '국민'을지향하는 것이었고, 국민 형성을 지향하는 내셔널리즘은 '민주'와 '평화'를 위한조건이었다. 마루야마의 비판적 자유주의는 내셔널리즘과 리얼리즘을 매개로작동하였다.

  • This study is an attempt to construct a basic framework of analysis about China's political and economic influence on Southeast Asia through traditional Sinocentrism, anti-colonial nationalism, Cold War socialism and post-Cold War capitalism. As to the historical status of Southeast Asia vis-a-vis external forces such as India, China and the West, the colonial discourse tends to put excessive emphasis upon its dependence, and the posy-colonial discourse upon its autonomy. However, this study elucidates the political and economic interactions between China and Southeast Asia in a dynamic perspective, focusing on their reciprocal interactions beyond the essentially static dichotomy of autonomy and dependence. Chinese influence on Southeast asia can be divided into active and reactive one, with the former referring to direct and intended consequences and the latter to indirect and unintended consequences. In the historical process of active and reactive influence, both China and Southeast Asia were fundamentally proactive actors. Thus, the autonomy or dependence of Southeast Asia is just a question of relative one, with its actual extent and degree varying with specific spatial and temporal conditions.

  • 본 논문은 일본 교육 정책에 큰 전환점이 되었던 두시기의 교육개혁의 지향성과 과정을 검토하여, 전전-전후 일본의 국가교육의 연속성을 국가주의와 시민교육의 맥락에서 조명하는데 목적이 있다. 학제를 공포하고 근대교육제도의 효시를 이룬 메이지 개혁(1868)을 제 1교육개혁, 패전이후 민주주의 헌법과 교육기본법, 학교교육법(1947)에 의하여 재건된 6-3-3-4제의 교육개혁을 제 2의 교육개혁(고전, 2014: 98)으로 보고, 일본 교육 정책에 큰 방향 전환이 되었던 각 시기의 국가교육이 지향하는 바와 체계를 갖추어 가는 과정을 간략하게 살펴본 후, 규범적 내용적 차원, 제도적 절차적 차원에서 전전-전후의 국가교육이 갖는 연속성과 교육개혁의 한계를 탐구하고자 한다. 메이지 일본은 근대화된 사회를 지탱할 결속된 구성원을 형성해야 할 필요성과 동시에 천황제를 뒷받침할 순종적 신민을 양성할 필요성이 있었고, 근대적 교육 체제는 이러한 과업을 달성하는데 큰 역할을 하였다. 패전 후 일본은 민주화, 비군사화라는 목표를 달성하기 위해 교육 개혁을 통해 일본적 전통 속에 내재하고 있는 권위적 국가주의의 틀을 변화시키고자 하였다. 전후 교육개혁으로 인해 교육 구조의 변형은 이루었지만 민주주의와 평화 지향의 내적 뿌리내림에 이르지 못하였으며, 냉전이라는 배경 하에 다시 교육의 보수화, 역코스로 회귀하였다.

  • Modern Bulgarian nationalists aspired towards incorporating the self-identified Bulgarian lands into the Bulgarian state. The Treaty of San Stefano ending the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-78 tantalizingly achieved these so-called national ideals. Great Power diplomacy quickly diminished Bulgaria's borders and international legal status with the 1878 Treaty of Berlin, exacerbating nationalist grievances. Bulgaria would expand vast resources to restore the San Stefano borders until Balkan Communist authoritarian regimes eventually suppressed the Macedonian issue as a foreign policy subject. Sofia's policy towards its neighbor has been overdetermined by the efforts of successive Bulgarian governments to institutionalize post-communist Bulgaria's own national identity. Bulgaria's integration into so-called Euro-Atlantic structures, i.e., NATO and the EU, had been the primary strategic objective of the Bulgarian authorities since the end of the Zhivkov regime. North Atlantic community security policy aims in response to the earliest post-Cold War foreign policy crises in the Western Balkans framed the parameters of Bulgarian diplomacy. The stabilization of FYROM in 2001, followed by Bulgaria's 2007 EU accession, led to Bulgarian nationalist values become more salient in Bulgarian politics and foreign policy. Sofia-Skopje relations are a test case for the effects of Europeanization on interdependent Balkan ethno-sectarian nationalisms and state territorial institutional development.

  • A prerequisite for a lasting ceasefire is the emergence of a prevailing view in Moscow and Kyiv that the fighting has reached a hurting stalemate. In sum, they both lose more through continuing warfare than by a ceasefire. This study applies social identity dynamics of nationalism to this escalatory conflict. It generates findings that imply that China as a third-party great power intervening mediator can potentially play a pivotal role. Shifting the respective prevailing views in Moscow and Kyiv of their interaction from a zero-sum foundation requires proffering powerful economic and political third-party incentives. Effective inducement would facilitate national defense, development and prestige for Moscow as well as Kyiv. China arguably has the underutilized potential power capabilities necessary to alter the respective prevailing views of strategic relationships among the great powers within Moscow, Brussels and Washington. A prerequisite for success in striving effectively towards this strategic goal is cooperation with the Beijing despite skepticism from Washington. This study utilizes a process tracing methodological approach. It highlights that the foundations of the Russo-Ukraine war lie in the institutionalization within Euro-Atlantic integration of the Cold War assumption that the USSR was an imperialist revisionist actor. Russia is the USSR's successor state. Moscow's prevailing view is that Russian national self-determination was unjustly circumscribed in the multinational Soviet totalitarian Communist system. The Euro-Atlantic community is perceived as a neocolonial imperial threat by allying with post-1991 Ukrainian nationalism at Russia's expense. The study finds that acknowledging Eurasian regional multipolarity is necessary, if not sufficient, to coopt Beijing into a global political stabilization strategy. It functionally aims to promote international balancing to lessen potentials for horizontal as well as vertical escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian conflict.

  • 본 논문은 사회주의 중국에서의 민족주의의 형성에 대한 연구다. 중국은 발달한 문명을 바탕으로 한 문화적 우월감으로 인해 일찍부터 문화적 민족주의가 강하게 형성되어 있었고 이는 오랜 기간을 통해 '중화주의'로 굳어지게 된다. 그러나 아편전쟁 이후 서양의 침략으로 인해 위기감이 생겨났고 중국의 지식인들은 다방면의 변화를 통해 구망(救亡)의 길을 모색하게 되었는데, 이 과정에서 서양의 '사회진화론'이 소개되고 받아들여진다. 이 사회 진화론의 수용은 결국 국가 간의 경쟁에서 밀린 중국이 제국주의의 침탈을 받는 것은 당연해지는 논리적 한계에 봉착하여 점차 변형되지만 중국 지식인들에게 문화적 중화주의에서 벗어나 서양의 근대적 국가민족주의 개념을 형성하도록 만들었다. 특히 중국공산당은 초기에 창당과정에서 부터 코민테른의 지도를 받았는데, 당시 제국주의 자본의 세계지배라는 조건 속에서 식민지국가에서의 민족해방투쟁이 세계 공산주의 운동에 있어 필수 불가결한 요소라는 것을 강조되었고, 중국에서의 저항적인 민족주의성격을 띤 마르크스주의는 명분을 갖게 된다. 이후 중일전쟁 과정에서 반제반봉건투쟁을 통해 중국인의 광범위한 지지를 얻게 된 중국공산당에 의해 중화인민공화국이 건립되고 본격적인 사회주의 체제로서의 중국이 시작된다. 그러나 냉전이라는 국제적 여건 속에서 소련과의 관계가 악화되면서 중국 사회주의의 발전은 자국 인민의 결집된 힘에 의존할 수밖에 없었고 이는 중국 공산당의 지속적인 애국주의의 고양으로 이어진다. 특히 개혁개방 이후 새롭게 등장한 모순들로 인해 중국은 분열을 겪게 되었고 이를 통합하는 이데올로그로 자국의 문화적 자긍심을 바탕으로 한 중화주의가 또다시 등장하게 되었다. 최근 경제 강국으로서 국제적인 위상이 높아진 중국에서는 전통문화의 우월성이 강조되면서 매우 강력한 중화주의가 대두되고 있다.

"American" Ideas and South Korean Nation-Building: U.S. Influence on South Korean Education

  • This paper examines the American role in shaping South Korean nation-building during the early Cold War by considering how the United States attempted to form South Korea's education and how Koreans responded to these efforts. It looks at education as an arena where "American" ideas such as democracy and liberalism were received, transformed, and utilized by Koreans. This study pays particular attention to the gap between American intentions and Korean expectations, as well as to the competition between American and Japanese systems, which explains the contradictory role America played in South Korean nation-building. In order to better assess the role of the United States in shaping South Korean education, this article considers the complex dynamics between the Japanese legacies, American influence, and Korean actors. Americans had exerted a great effect on Korean education since the beginning of their relationship. American missionaries, U.S. military government, and educational mission teams had all contributed to the expansion of educational opportunities for Koreans. Through the educational institutions that they established or helped establish, Americans tried to spread "their" ideas. In this process, Americans had to struggle with two obstacles: Korean nationalism and the legacies of Japanese colonialism. Many Koreans used American missionary schools for their own purposes and resisted U.S. military government's policies which ignored their desire for self-determination. American education missions had limited effect on Korean education due to the heterogeneous Japanese system that was still influencing South Korea even after liberation. The ways in which Americans have influenced the democratization of South Korea have not been simple. Although "American" democratic ideas reached Koreans through various routes, Koreans understood the "American" idea within their own historical context and in a way that fit their existing socio-political relations. Oftentimes suspicious of "American" democracy, Koreans developed their own concept of democracy. The overall American influence on Korean democratization, as well as on Korean education, was important but limited. While Americans helped Koreans build educational infrastructure and tried to transfer democratic ideas through it, Koreans actors and Japanese colonial legacies limited its impact.

  • Vaccine diplomacy is a manifestation of competition for political influence among great powers amidst the Covid-19 pandemic's blatant illustration of ineluctable interdependency across the global community. The reinforcement of trends bolstering global polity construction intensify concomitantly with nationalist populist value and attitude expressions increasing political polarization. The interdependency graphically illustrated in the Cold War-era's mutual assured destruction incentivized competition into indirect competitive intervention in the internal politics of third actors. Indirect international influence contestations included extended, de facto challenge competitions to generate soft power on behalf of the victor, e.g., the space race. The Covid-19 pandemic has intensified this competition to offer alternative development models while intense domestic political polarization undermines the mobilizational capacities for achieving sustainable development. In contrast to multinational and multiethnic states, nation states have an inherent mobilizational advantage because of the enhanced control capabilities available to the authorities without emphasizing coercion. Control through Gramscian hegemonic mechanisms is more readily feasible in nation states through the greater feasibility of commodification of social relations by states authorities regulating and channeling social competition to encourage social mobility and creativity. The regulation of the so-called private sector serves to manage and contain social competition while channeling it to develop the institutional capacities for control and allocation of developing societal human resources. It enhances developed state control mechanisms and international influence capacities. The appeal of offers of aid and assistance to the so-called developing world becomes ever more urgent amidst Anthropocene crises including its most recent, current Covid-19 pandemic disaster.

  • 1960~70년대 한국의 산업화와 경제성장을 설명하는 대표적인 프레임은 발전국가론이었다. 그러나 발전국가론의 방법론적 국가주의는 국가의 관계론적 속성을 간과했고, 실제 국가과정에서 나타나는 다중스케일의 전략관계를 주변화했다. 우리는 발전국가를 통해 개발연대의 산업화를 사유하는 방식에 익숙해졌고, 그것을 자명하게 받아들이기도 했다. 이 글의 목적은 이러한 국가중심적 사유를 문제시하고, 그것이 주변화시킨 다중스케일의 전략관계를 복원해 우리가 자명하게 받아들인 산업화의 경로를 재구성하는 데 있다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위해 개발연대의 대표 산업공간인 울산공업단지를 분석한다. 구체적으로는 해방 이후 지속적으로 추진되었던 울산정유공장 건설 프로젝트를 초점에 두고, 15년 남짓한 시간 동안 이 사업에 연결되었던 다양한 스케일의 전략관계를 검토한다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서는 Van Fleet 같은 냉전 네트워크의 결절이나, 남궁연 등의 다중 스케일 행위자가 당대에 국가 간 관계나 글로벌 스케일의 사회관계를 울산이라는 특정 공간에 결속시키는 과정에 주목한다. 본 연구에서는 울산 정유공장이, 다중스케일의 경관들이 울산에 중첩해 만든 역사적 산물이란 점을 밝힘으로써, 방법론적 국가주의가 놓친 사회공간의 전략관계를 다중스케일의 시각에서 재구성할 것을 제안한다.
