During the nineteenth century, China, Japan, and Korea shared a common crisis defined by a dual encounter, not only with an overwhelmingly powerful West, but also with the profoundly disruptive idea set of modernity. This dual encounter profoundly threatened the traditional forms of society and relationship in Northeast Asia (NEA). That the local responses to this were fraught, differentiated, and conflictual is hardly surprising. What is perhaps more surprising is how shared, and in many ways similar, their responses to the Western challenge have become. Japan led the way, but South Korea, Taiwan, and increasingly China have now caught up, and NEA’s place in global international society is largely restored. From an outsider perspective, there is more that unites these countries in both the Asian tragedy of the nineteenth and early-mid twentieth centuries, and the new Asia emerging over the last several decades, than divides them. As noted in ...

This paper critically examines three intersectional hegemonic forces of maintaining a surveillance regime—the triad of colonialism, anti-communism, and neo-liberalism—that I argue are necessary for decolonizing surveillance studies in South Korea. I discuss South Korea’s Resident Registration System (RRS) as the contemporary incarnation of modern colonial power’s control over its colonial subjects, calling into question the maintenance of the colonial legacies within RRS policy innovations. I critically examine the way in which the legitimacy of neo-liberal surveillance is embraced by the anti-privacy scheme entrenched in the colonial and anti-communism legacies that relentlessly allows state power to control and intervene in individual realms. Questioning the triad of colonialism, anti-communism, and neo-liberalism can recast a critical work for decolonizing surveillance studies in South Korea.

What came to be known as the Asian miracle took place in a number of quite varied contexts in countries outside the major states Japan and China, and the way in which these smaller economies have built their development trajectories in the years after 1960 has been a matter of serious attention among policymakers worldwide. Japan and China are given specific attention elsewhere in this volume and so this article considers the rest of Pacific Asia. It aims to outline the systems of business which have come to characterize the following clusters of countries: first, South Korea which stands on its own as a distinct case; second, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore which are essentially Chinese in their ethnic make-up, their current political structures, and their business behaviour, but which nevertheless display great differences among themselves; third, the ASEAN group outside Singapore, again containing variety but with certain key common denominators.

Subject Uzbekistan-South Korea ties. Significance Uzbekistan wants to reduce its reliance on Russia by expanding ties to Asia, but without risking becoming over-dependent on China, as it sees Turkmenistan has become. Uzbekistani President Islam Karimov's visit to South Korea in May paved the way for cooperation with Seoul in new areas such as logistics, energy infrastructure, construction and defence. These all represent areas of increasing connections between Central and East Asian nations. Impacts Sixty agreements were signed during Karimov's visit to Seoul worth more than 7.7 billion dollars. These will provide a boost to President Park Geun-Hye's Eurasia Initiative. South Korea will seek to strengthen its position in Central Asia ahead of China's 'New Silk Road' initiative.

SUMMARY Auditors have been shown to predecisionally distort the interpretation of evidence in a direction that favors the known preferences of their superior. This has the potential to adversely influence audit quality by threatening the objectivity with which evidence is evaluated. We, however, find results consistent with auditors perceiving their superior's known preference to be conveying normatively relevant information. Our results show, across both auditors from Australia and South Korea, that there are greater levels of predecisional distortion toward a preference held by a superior perceived to have relatively higher levels of expertise than toward a preference held by a superior perceived to have relatively lower levels of expertise. To the extent that auditors accurately perceive their superior's expertise, predecisional distortion of evidence may contribute to, rather than detract from, audit quality. Notwithstanding the potential for differences in hierarchical culture to influence the way in which auditors respond to the known preferences of their superior, our findings are consistent across auditors from Australia and South Korea. This suggests that the perceived expertise of the superior reduces the effect of hierarchical culture on the influence that a superior's known preference has on their subordinate's judgments.

Gap Values

Societal gap is a phenomenon that exists between the layers of society which creates mass significant differences between it. Through the movie Parasite, Bong Joon Ho successfully portrayed a visualization of the societal disparity issue that happens between two South Korea families with different economic backgrounds. This research’s sole purpose is to analyze and evaluate the representation of societal gap which is depicted thoroughly in Parasite’s filmography. This research uses the method of qualitative research with John Fiske’s semiotic analysis. The subject is the movie Parasite which is directed by Bong Joon Ho. The data is obtained by the method of observing and documentation. The data’s unit of analysis is picked solely by the scenes that interpret signs of societal gap, which rounds up to 31 scenes. The data’s examination technique uses the technique of source’s triangulation.  The research has brought up a few results such as, (1) The reality level and societal gap is represented in aspects of appearance, the way each families speak, behavior, movements, expression, and the environment that they reside at. (2) The level of representation and societal disparity is illustrated through aspects of the film such as, camera, lighting, music, and voices. (3) The level of ideology and portrayals of societal gap values can be assured to contain values of socialists and capitalists. In the aspect of socialists, the societal gap is seen as something that stands out because of the significant differences that exist between the different layers of society. Meanwhile, the capitalist values can be seen in how the movie has portrayed how a person with a higher position in the society is the capital holder and the ones that exist in the middle to the lower class of society depends themselves on the ones that resides on the higher class of society.

North Korea’s attack against South Korea evoked an immediate military response from the United States, under a UN command, to draw the line against communist expansion in Asia. Once the Chinese entered the war on the side of North Korea, India could not sustain its policy of nonalignment on the merits but began to practice nonalignment as an informal version of neutrality justified as its commitment to seek peace in the nuclear age. When Mao prolonged the war in an effort to win total victory and force the United States out of Asia, India’s bias toward China in the United Nations met with the US decision to exclude India from the Geneva Conference on Korea and Indo-China, paving the way for China to assert its position as a great power.
