Korean Nation

To provide a glimpse into this period and ideas prominent at the time, the article explores the ideas of the Korean intellectual An Jae-hong, a scholar-gentleman whose career spans the nation’s colonial period and was entwined with debates over Korean nationalism. Natalia Kim channels and develops the insights from her work on the period and her book, South Korea, 1945–1948: A Political History. Focusing specifically on An’s cultural nationalism, as revealed in his work, Dr. Kim demonstrates how An’s thoughts on the Korean nation and the ideal political type (his ‘new nationalism’ and ‘new democracy’) were influenced by the historical experience and global political realities of his day.

Korean Nation

The purpose of the article is to reveal the most effective ways that helped the people of the Korean Peninsula quickly halter COVID-19 in the early 2020. To put it simply, to the author’s mind, the Koreans were saved from this terrible pandemic not only by the efficient state measures but also by long and deeply rooted Confucian self-consciousness. This philosophical and ethical teaching is accumulated verified experience of survival of a fairly small Korean nation surrounded by powerful and not always peaceful neighbors rather than pressure from above. Koreans are accustomed to think that they are able to survive only on the basis of conscious collectivist interaction, and they often have to sacrifice personal benefit to advance the common good.

Liberal Concept

Direct actions constitute an important repertoire of action for environmental movements in Western countries. This article differentiates two ideal types of this repertoire of action: the anarchist concept, which understands direct action in terms of values and as a preferred way of doing things; and the liberal concept, which uses direct action in an instrumental way. Based on my empirical research in post-socialist Czech Republic, the article focuses on debates over environmentalism and, to be more precise, on uses of direct actions by environmental organizations. It explains why the liberal concept was very limited and why direct action as a preferred way of doing things has not become a part of the repertoire of collective action. The article argues that the movement was politically moderate due to a combination of reasons: the very specific historical experience of the Czech environmental movement, which inclines it to use dialogue rather than confrontations with power; the fear of political hostility and marginalization by the state; and the internal dynamics of the environmental milieu.
