Book
Go to Inspect Poor Children State
Wataru Hosaka, Takashi Iketani(Author), Insook Choi(Translator) (Nonhyung, 2018, in Korean)
『빈곤아동의 현장을 가다』는 2010년 4월부터 2012년 12월까지 교도 통신사가 취재·연재 기획한 ‘르포 아동 빈곤’을 가필·수정하고 각장의 말미에 전문가들을 인터뷰하여 정책대안을 제시한 책이다. 고등학교에서 보육원까지 교육현장을 찾아 빈곤아동의 다양한 형태를 파헤치고 아동빈곤의 구조적 원인이 어디에 있는지 생생하게 보여준다. 부모에게 경제력이 없으면, 아이는 인생의 출발선부터 차이가 생겨, 장래에도 생활고에 시달려야 하는 빈곤의 대물림이 나타난다. 이러한 현상을 단절하고 아이들이 스스로의 힘으로 장래를 개척하기 위해 가장 필요한 것은 교육의 보장이라고 주장한다.
일본과 유사한 경제시스템을 도입하고 있는 한국도 곧 아동빈곤이 사회문제화 될 게 분명하다. 우리가 아동빈곤 문제를 진단하고 대책을 세우는 데 이 책은 많은 시사점을 주고 있다.

Book Chapter
Income Inequality and Welfare in Korea and Taiwan (2018.06)
- Author : Eunju Chi
- Book Title : Handbook of Sustainable Development in Asia
- Editor : Sara Hsu
- Publisher : Routledge
- Publication Date : June, 2018
- Abstract : This chapter focuses on economic and social well-being in Korea and Taiwan. Deepening inequality is a trend that makes sustainable development difficult to attain. When a government actively responds to the deepening inequality by providing welfare, inequality is alleviated, and sustainable development is possible. In this vein, this chapter examines the causes and processes of deepening inequality in Korea and Taiwan, then turns to policies associated with improving economic distribution. Democratization required measures to protect the victims of wealth polarization and, as a result, measures to tackle income inequality in Korea and Taiwan were introduced. However, these were implemented in an ad hoc fashion, rather than resulting from clear goals and plans.

Journal Article
Generation and Ideology Factors of Evaluation on North Korea and Security Policy (2018.06)
- Authors : Jin Seok Bae
- Journal : Korea and World Politics
- Publisher : The Institute for Far Eastern Studies
- Volume : 34(2)
- Publication Date : June, 2018
- Abstract : This study presented the following three hypotheses to analyze the mechanism of generation and ideology factors in North Korea policy and security policy area. First, the assessment of North Korea and its security policy does not change simply linearly according to age. Second, the influence of ideology on North Korea and security policy varies from generation to generation. Third, depending on how the policies are combined, the conditions under which the generation and ideology can exert influence vary. Based on the results of the survey conducted in 2017, this study found the following. First, even after controlling for other factors, the generation born in the 1970s favored the engagement policy toward North Korea than their predecessor or later generations, and they were less supportive of THAAD deployment. Second, ideology influenced policy evaluation toward North Korea in the older generation, but it did not in the younger generation. Third, only ideology variable exerted influence in traditional progressive-conservative policy combinations, age variable was not effective. However, age effect was confirmed instead of ideology when the traditional progressive-conservative policy combinations were staggered. The empirical finding of this study is evidence that the politicized structure of Korea, which is ideologically polarized, is cross-cut at a gentle angle along the generation cleavage.
