In the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, digital transformation, which means changes in all industrial structures, politics, economics and society as well as IT technology, is an important issue. It is difficult to know which research topic is being studied because digital transformation is being studied in various fields. Convergence research is possible because a research topic is studied in various fields such as computer science area and Decision science area. However, it is difficult to know the specific research status of the research topic. In this study, eight research topics were derived using the topic modeling technique of text mining for abstract of academic literature and the trend of each topic was analyzed. We also proposed to create a Topic-Word Proportions Table in the LDA based Topic modeling process to predict the topic of new literature. The results of this study are expected to contribute to advanced convergence research on topic of digital transformation. It is expected that the literature related to each research topic will be grasped and contribute to the design of a new convergence research.

This study explores the following research question to address issues linked to emotions, identity, and institutions: how has the cult (institution) of the three Kims affected North Koreans' strong sense of nationalism (emotion), which is based on their Juche ideology (identity)? This paper investigates four fundamental elements of historical institutionalism: time boundedness, path dependency, institutional changes, and the shadow of the past. First, time boundedness illustrates how culture and education have been used to build trust and loyalty in the general public to construct individual and family cults. Second, path dependence reveals how the Songbun system has resulted in strong nationalism throughout Rodongdang's institutionalization. Third, institutional changes highlight the significance of age divides, as different age groups do not always support the three Kims' cult. Finally, the shadow of the past helps us understand the primary processes for generating mass ardent nationalism in the form of powerful impulses for self-sacrifice.

In the past decade, Korea and Japan have increasingly exhibited different strategic priorities in trade in face of China's rising global economic prowess and worsening US-China trade conflict. Japan's trade policy decisions have worked to reinforce its economic and security ties with the US as a means to counter China. Japan has used both bilateral and multilateral means to secure its ties with the US against China. In contrast, Korea's trade policy positions have been one of 'strategic ambiguity'. Korea has been more conciliatory towards China, reluctant to take actions that would counter China's interest. Korea has mainly resorted to bilateral channels to maintain favorable relations with both China and the US. Korea's reluctance to clearly ally with the US against China has been observed across different administrations with opposing political orientations. This paper examines Korea and Japan's diverging strategic priorities in trade through the 2017 World Trade Organization Ministerial Conference; the 2017 US imposition of Section 232 on steel; the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, the Korea-US FTA renegotiation and the Korea-China FTA Phase Two Negotiation; and the 2019 Japan-US Trade Agreement.

Due to her successful novel Little Women (1869), Louisa May Alcott has generally become known as a writer of sentimental fiction. However, her thrillers demonstrate her keen insights into domestic and international issues. Alcott's so-called "left hand" shows her stances on political and historical issues in America as well as in Europe and Asia. Particularly, Alcott's supporting voice for women against social prejudices is metaphorically portrayed in "A Whisper in the Dark" (1861). Interestingly, in the story Alcott displays her knowledge of the drug trades and the cultural effects of white male colonizers exploiting other peoples and countries around the globe, which were issues that she had learned about from neighboring intellectuals and newspapers. In the paper, I examine Alcott's radical views on gender equality, chauvinistic attitudes, and transnational politics in the mid-nineteenth century.

This study focuses on improving quality management system of naval ships to enhance safety. Recently, there were problems caused by the lack of quality management system when building Korea naval ships. Foreign naval ships are designed and built through certification by professional organizations in the commercial sector to reduce budget and enhance ship safety. Merchant ships are designed, built, operated and maintained by the organizations in accordance with the Ship Safety Act. When naval ships are exported, the ordering country requires the certification from the international classification to ensure the safety and reliability of ships. Through this study, as a method of improving the quality management system of naval ships, design verification, equipment certification and construction survey using expertise of the organizations are proposed when designing and building the naval ships.

Protests are not new in Malaysia, though it is restricted by the ruling government. The trend of street protests and demonstrations since the emergence of Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections (Bersih), Malaysia's first people movement on electoral reform, has triggered a sentiment of people power among Malaysian citizens. With protests and popular mobilization becoming pronounced in Malaysian politics, political activism becomes for Malaysians a channel of discontent and expression of political preferences. Using information obtained from interviews with individuals linked to the movement, this paper articulates that protests are no longer exclusive to Malaysians. This paper illustrates the emergence of the Bersih movement and explores the three Bersih mass rallies that took place in 2007, 2011, and 2012. This paper further links the protests with the electoral reform initiatives. It argues that the Bersih movement has managed to lobby fundamental changes in the Malaysian political culture.

The Joseon Dynasty lasted for 618 years, from 1392 to 1910, and is regarded as one of the development periods of Korea in various areas, including politics, culture, economy, and society. During this period, the government undertook various measures to try to change the state of the economy and generally transform people's living standards. These were some of the strategies founded on Confucianism, which focused on the right way to govern and manage the economy to attain prosperity for the society. The present study explores government development strategies for improving the economy in Joseon Dynasty period using comprehensive literature analysis via Kci, Scopus, Web of Science databases. Indeed, agricultural transformations during the Joseon dynasty clearly show that knowledge and innovation were critical for encouraging agricultural growth. Therefore, today's South Korean government can implement technological advancement and research to improve its agricultural value chain and food security. Many farmers lack knowledge about improved methods of practicing agriculture or have inadequate capital to invest in research and development; these issues can be dealt with by the relevant government agencies putting in place necessary policies and creating awareness through educational programs and articles.

국제회의 및 국제 스포츠 행사는 개최기간 중에 테러나 안전사고 등이 발생할 경우에 행사 그 자체가 실패할 뿐만 아니라 많은 생명과 재산이 파괴되고, 궁극적으로는 개최국의 신뢰도 저하가 수반되기 때문에 안전대책 이야말로 가장 중요한 요소이다. 이러한 맥락에서, 본 연구에서는 최근 10년간 세계 각국에서 실시한 국제회의 및 스포츠 행사에 대한 테러대응 사례를 분석하고, 이를 통해서 나타난 정책적 함의를 제시하는 목적에서 진행되었다. 본 연구에서 나타난 향후 국제회의 및 스포츠 행사에 대한 테러대응의 기본 방향을 압축하여 제시하면 다음과 같다. 먼저, 대규모 국제 행사 개최시 잘 훈련된 전문가인 안전요원 및 행사요원의 양성이 중요하다. 앞으로 자주 개최될 각종 국제행사에는 자칫 타성에 빠질 수 있는 정부 주도의 행사 보다는 각 지방자치단체가 지역내 대학과 연계되어 보안에 필요한 인력 및 재원확보를 안정적으로 해야 한다. 또한, 테러리스트들의 전략과 전술을 명확히 이해하고 정보를 활용하여 그들보다 앞서나 가는 시스템을 구축해야 한다. 따라서 정부의 주도하에 테러리즘에 대한 직 간접적인 교육과 연구 활동을 촉진시켜 테러리즘의 다양한 측면과 대응책 등 테러리즘에 대한 전반적인 안목을 국민들에게 길러줌으로써 만일의 사태에 총체적으로 대응 할 수 있는 기반을 만들어야 한다. 끝으로, 뉴 테러리즘의 한 수단으로서 사용되는 사이버 테러(cyber terror)에 대한 철저한 대비책을 마련해야 한다.

오늘날 핵에너지 갈등은 방사능 물질의 위험성에서 비롯된다. 이 갈등의 주체는 핵에너지를 결정한 정치 및 경제체계와 이를 반대하는 해당 주민들 및 반핵 환경단체들이다. 그러나 핵폐기물의 국가간 이동 시 다국적 반핵단체가 갈등 주체로 나타난다. 우리는 이러한 국내적 초국가적 모험 커뮤니케이션을 신 사회운동이라고 부른다. 체계이론적인 관점에서 신 사회운동은 모험사회에서 돈과 권력과 같은 "상징적으로 일반화된 커뮤니케이션 매체"에 의한 "커뮤니케이션의 기술화"에 저항하는 집단적 공세적 자기관계의 전개라고 할 수 있다. 핵에너지 갈등은 동북아시아와 유럽을 비교했을 때 핵폐기장 입지선정과 관련해서는 별 차이가 없었다. 동북아시아에서 대만이 북한에 핵폐기물을 수출하려고 했을 때 국제적 갈등이 일어났다. 유럽에서 독일은 플루토늄을 생산하는 폐연료봉 재처리장 건설과 핵폐기물의 국가간 이동의 문제로 큰 갈등을 겪었다. 신 사회운동이 지향하고 있는 패러다임은 상태학적 지속기능성을 보장할 수 있는 전지구적 세계상이다. '세계모험사회'에서 핵에너지 갈등은 계급, 민족국가, 체계의 경계를 초월한 "담론의 동맹"을 통한 '하위정치'를 통해 해소되고 있다.

한국의 아프리카 연구는 2000년대 이후에 본격적으로 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 지구상의 마지막 블루 오션이라는 인식과 함께 시작된 최근의 활발한 아프리카 연구는, 최근 몇 년간의 비약적인 양적 성장에도 불구하고 몇 가지 문제점을 안고 있다. 첫째는 아프리카 연구의 학문적 편중성이다. 국내에서 생산된 석박사 논문과 전문학술지 논문의 60% 이상이 사회과학, 그 중에서도 정치 경제 분야에서 이루어졌으며, 이는 아프리카에 대해 경제적 목적 일변도의 편향된 이해를 불러올 수 있다. 두 번째 문제점은 최근의 활발한 아프리카 연구의 결과에도 불구하고, 국내의 아프리카에 대한 인식은 기존의 피상적인 인식에서 탈피하지 못하고 있다. 다양한 아프리카 연구의 결과들이 일반 대중과 젊은 세대들에게 공유될 필요가 있다. 마지막으로 국내 아프리카 연구 주체들 간의 활발한 교류를 통하여, 분야별 연구의 틀을 벗어나 종합적인 아프리카 연구의 방향으로 나아갈 필요가 있다.
