• Migration Network and Identity Reconfiguration: A Case of Gwangju Koryoin Village in Korea (김성진)

    Abstract This study employs network theory to examine how advancements in information and communication technology (ICT) reshape migration flows, identity formation, and interactions between migrant and host communities, focusing on Gwangju Koryoin Village. Koryoin—ethnic Koreans settled in the former Soviet Union—faces unique reintegration challenges due to linguistic and cultural disconnections in host society. The paper categorizes the evolution of Gwangju Koryoin Village into four stages, from initial migrant influx to the expansion of migration networks. Central to this process are the migrant mobility and support networks, strategically coordinated by key gatekeepers such as Zoya Shin and Pastor Cheon-young Lee, transitioning from an individualized model to a bridging model. Findings indicate that the integration of ICT-facilitated networks with supportive local policies not only enhances socio-economic dynamism and urban regeneration but also reconfigures othered identities into dual identities. Ultimately, this case challenges conventional “number-protection” arguments in migration studies by demonstrating that robust, interlinked networks can mitigate identity-based tensions and promote sustainable integration, enhancing mutual benefits.   원문은 아래 링크(Wiley Online Library)에서 확인 가능합니다 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pafo.70012

• The Japanese Military “Comfort Women” Issue From the Perspective of Memory Politics: A Comparativ...

  Abstract This study compares the political responses of the Republic of Korea and the Republic of China (Taiwan) to the issue of Japanese military “comfort women.” While existing research has primarily examined victims' human rights, Japan's postwar responsibility, and Korea–Japan diplomatic disputes, it has overlooked why two nations with comparable colonial legacies have developed divergent trajectories of memory politics. Addressing this gap, the study analyzes how historical perceptions and domestic political contexts shape the construction and management of the “comfort women” issue within broader domestic and diplomatic arenas. The analysis proceeds along two dimensions: (1) domestic memory politics, focusing on comfort women–related legislation and policies, textbook narratives, and public commemorations; and (2) diplomatic memory politics, focusing on Korea–Japan and Taiwan–Japan relations. Based on government and civil society sources, the study finds that South Korea has institutionalized the “comfort women” issue as a key political and diplomatic agenda, while Taiwan's engagement remains largely symbolic due to domestic political constraints, weaker civic activism, and strategic ties with Japan. This comparative analysis demonstrates that memory politics in East Asia is a dynamic process mediated by political institutions, civil society, and foreign policy strategy, offering broader insights into how states construct and instrumentalize historical memory in international relations.   원문은 아래 링크(Wiley Online Library)에서 확인 가능합니다 https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pafo.70024

• Transnational Religious Epistemic Communities and the Global Politics of the Ex-Gay Movement (이...

  Abstract This article examines the global politics of the ex-gay movement through the analytical lens of transnational religious epistemic communities. While the ex-gay movement, led by individuals who claim to have renounced homosexuality, is often viewed as a set of isolated, culturally specific efforts, a closer examination reveals coordinated international networks primarily driven by conservative evangelical actors from Western contexts. These networks function as epistemic communities, defined as groups of professionals sharing authoritative claims to policy-relevant knowledge within specific domains. In the case of the ex-gay movement, conservative religious activists position themselves as experts on human sexuality, strategically employing evidence with a scientific veneer, constitutional and rights-based arguments, and personal testimonies to assert that homosexuality is changeable and undesirable. The analysis demonstrates how South Korean activists adapted transnationally circulating discourses, such as the appropriation of liberal democratic concepts like authenticity, victimhood, and human rights, framing their opposition to LGBTQ+ rights as a defense of religious liberty and a vindication of “lived experiences.”   원문은 아래 링크(KCI)에서 확인 가능합니다 https://www.kci.go.kr/kciportal/ci/sereArticleSearch/ciSereArtiView.kci?sereArticleSearchBean.artiId=ART003206718

• From Nationhood to Peoplehood: A Crisis of Meaning in South Korea's Unification Discourse* (이원동)

      Abstract This article examines the evolving discourse on Korean unification, emphasizing the need for a more contextually grounded concept of peoplehood that reflects the complexities of contemporary Korean identity. Moving beyond rigid, state-centered frameworks of nationhood, it advocates for a shift toward a more inclusive peoplehood grounded in shared values, democratic principles, and communal flourishing. The ideological divide between President Yoon's recent 8.15 Unification Doctrine and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's two-state approach underscores the limitations of existing paradigms. In response, this study argues for civic-based unification narratives that transcend these divisions. At the heart of this vision is a reinterpretation of the 1919 March 1st Declaration as the foundation for a new public ethos that champions human dignity, egalitarian principles, and global responsibility. By broadening the scope of fundamental rights within this reimagined peoplehood, the framework enhances its moral legitimacy and fosters resilience across generational and ideological boundaries. This approach engages deeply with Korea's cultural, historical, and symbolic resources to ensure that unification discourse resonates with the lived experiences of modern Koreans, particularly the Jangmadang generation in North Korea and the MZ generation in South Korea. Ultimately, this article envisions unification not as the imposition of a monolithic state structure but rather as an organic, people-building process. This process cultivates an adaptive, globally engaged, and pluralistic Korean identity.   원문은 아래 링크(Wiley Online Library)에서 확인 가능합니다. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pafo.12276

• 마이애미 거주 쿠바계 한인들의 연쇄/초국적 모빌리티와 도시 경험 (배진숙)

  Abstract This article examines the serial migration experiences and racial and ethnic identities of Korean Cuban Americans, focusing especially on those who have resided or currently reside in Miami, Florida. This research first examines the motives for Korean Cubans’ serial migratory movements from Korea to or within the Americas. Based on the results of questionnaire surveys, it also analyzes Korean Cubans’ formation of their ethnic identities, considering the urban landscape of the metropolitan Miami area. Participants noted that Miami’s well-developed Cuban cultural environment was conducive for forming and maintaining their identity as Cubans. However, some were discriminated against by non-Korean Cubans in Miami because of their appearance as Asian or mixed individuals. It is expected that this article, by shedding light on serial migration and urban experiences among the underrepresented segments of Cuban and Korean diasporas, will contribute to a multifaceted and deeper understanding of the experiences of both Latino and Asian diasporas.   원문은 아래 링크(KISS)에서 확인 가능합니다. https://kiss.kstudy.com/Detail/Ar?key=4089731

• 중국의 대북 딜레마와 새로운 접근 방식 : 혈맹관계에서 운명공동체로의 전환* (장영덕)

  논문초록 이 논문은 시진핑 집권 이후 중국이 직면한 대북 딜레마를 분석하고, 북한에 대한 새로운 접근 방식을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 중국과 북한의 관계는 흔히 혈맹관계로 인식되지만, 중국은 이를 부인하고 전통적 우호관계로 규정한다. 시진핑 집권 초기 중국은 북핵문제와 북한문제를 동일시 하였고, 북한의 무력도발로 인해 북중관계는 악화되었다. 그러나 2018년 이후 중국은 북핵 문제와 북한 문제를 분리하여 접근하기 시작하였고, 북중관계는 다시 회복된다. 중국은 주변외교를 강화하는 한편 북한을 운명공동체로 규정함으로써 새로운 형태의 관계를 구축하고자 한다. 특히 운명공동체는 ‘풍우동주’ 및 ‘휴척여공’의 개념으로 이는 정치,경제, 사회, 문화 영역 외에 군사 영역까지 포함하는 매우 적극적인 관계의 형태이다. 중국의 대북 딜레마는 여전히 존재하고, 북한의 정치상황과 미중관계의 변화가 지속하는 상황에서 중국의 대북 접근법에 대해 새로운 관점이 필요하다.   원문은 아래 링크(KCI)에서 확인 가능합니다 중국의 대북 딜레마와 새로운 접근 방식 : 혈맹관계에서 운명공동체로의 전환 (kci.go.kr)

• Cross-Border Data Dynamics : An Analysis of China's Cybersecurity Law under TBT Compliance* (Yin ...

  Abstract This paper examines the controversies surrounding China’s Cybersecurity Law and evaluates whether this law violates the provisions of the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Agreement. The primary reason countries consider China’s Cybersecurity Law as a TBT is due to its restrictions on cross-border data flows. The analysis reveals that the core issue behind differing national attitudes towards cross-border data flows lies in the significant differences in how key stakeholders define cybersecurity. Therefore, leading cyber powers should prioritize reaching a consensus on defining cybersecurity terms. Countries should enhance their cybersecurity strategies by issuing and refining relevant administrative regulations, departmental rules, and normative documents to provide a solid implementation foundation for network operators and law enforcement agencies. Additionally, given its significant economic relationship with China, the Korean government emphasizes the need for a balanced approach todata localization and cross-border data flow policies to ensure both national security and economic growth.   원문은 아래 링크(KCI)에서 확인 가능합니다.
