The New Missile Guideline Amendment: A Case Study (2018.11)
- Authors : Jiil Kim
- Journal : National Strategy
- Publisher : The Sejong Institute
- Volume : 24(4)
- Publication Date : November, 2018
- Abstract : Since taking office, Moon Jae In’s administration has swiftly moved to amend the New Missile Guideline (NMG) between South Korea and the United States. In the past, missile agreements between the two states have been marked with considerable conflicts caused by difference in opinions. However, it took just six months of consultations regarding the NMG to reach a point of consensus. Why did the two allies conclude the NMG deal without difficulties unlike the past negotiations? The purpose of this study is to analyze the dynamics of the ROK-US alliance by looking at past cases of missile agreements. Using a case study method it reveals that ‘policy tradeoff’ played a role in the amendment of the NMG. In addition, the agreement was facilitated by the fact that North Korea’s nuclear missiles reached a stage of development which makes them capable of threatening the US mainland.

Journal Article
A Study on the Birth of the Communist Manifesto(1848)
- Authors : Chiwon Choi
- Journal : Zeitschrift der Koreanisch-Deutschen Gesellschaft fuer Sozialwissenschaften
- Publisher : K-G Association For Social Sciences
- Volume : 28(3)
- Publication Date : September, 2018
- Abstract : The Communist Manifesto(1848), a social criticism and a diagnosis of social problems, aims at the realization of a new society called communism, away from the ides of a republic of freedom and equality and fraternity idealized in Declaration of the Rights of the Man and of the Citizen of 1789. The whole idea of Marx and Engels is linked to the cord of Communist Manifesto. This cord consists of: not a mechanical mechanism, but an idea of human social relations and practice. The Manifesto shows that a new society cannot be realized through a vague social movement, but through the action of ‘politics of struggle and liberation’ and the action of ‘labor and production’, whose initiator is the workers themselves. The Manifesto is not only the product of democratic and open debates but also a representative work that shows how the theory has ‘an immediate path to practice’ and how it can ‘cross the realm of practice.’

Book Chapter
Politics of Royal Authority’s Myth and Religiousness of Ruling Discourse (2018.08)
- Author: Doo-Jin Kim
- Title: The Religious Characteristics of Koreans Read in Oral Literature
- Publisher: The Academy of Korean Studies Press
- Published: August 2018
- Abstract: This study focuses on ‘religious mind’ as a central axis of Korean culture and seeks to interpret the literature in the “The Comprehensive Collection of Korean Folklore Literature(Revised and Enlarged)” through an interdisciplinary approach from humanities to social sciences. Analysis and methodology of religious philosophy, human geography, Korean literature, social psychology, and political sociology were used. In the political-sociological analysis, it emphasizes that there is ‘interpenetration’ or ‘interrelationship’ between the contents of the folk tales and the “Yongbieocheonga”. The political myth of the founding of Choseon Dynasty is a reflection of conflict and confrontation structure, but as a “control ideology,” it is believed that it has resulted in the net functional results of political communication. This study will trigger a new cognitive shift from the view that the formation of folktales is merely interpreted as spontaneous oral transmission by the grassroots.
