Envisioning A Peace In Korea
However, north korea s refusal to accept the Japanese government s which isto meet the challenge of history to establish an autonomous regional system
http://www.iwanami.co.jp/jpworld/text/envisioning03.html

Extractions: Responsible options for Japan If we consider the four points raised above in reverse order, first, Japan can begin by admitting its historical responsibility to North Korea, and act in good faith by taking care of compensation to the nation and individual victims. Instead, the Japanese government has chosen to start with the issue of the alleged abduction of its ten citizens. Of course, the agony suffered by the families of those believed to have been abducted is not difficult to imagine. However, North Korea's refusal to accept the Japanese government's position of starting talks with that issue, without an official apology and compensation for the hundreds of thousands of "comfort women" and forced laborers who were also "abducted" in wartime, is understandable. Japan must first make it clear that it owes responsibility for its actions during the colonial period, and then proceed to put the issue of the missing Japanese citizens on the table. This is the proper order of things, which may be called a modest initiative Japan can take. In effect, what does the Japanese government hope to accomplish by raising its abduction issue at the beginning of normalization talks, practically blocking any further progress? Besides, if there really are abducted Japanese citizens, the question must be handled by the Japanese government with realistic caution so that no harm befalls these people.

The establishment of the Centre last year was an important initiative and I commend the Korea Research Foundation and the University of New South Wales for supporting it. The regional dimension of the Centre's work is impressive, embracing not only Australia, but New Zealand and Southeast Asia as well. This keynote address gives me the chance to underline Australia's ongoing commitment to the closest possible engagement with our region, and with Korea in particular. I have three broad themes in my address today: the first is Australia's current bilateral relationship with Korea; the second is the broader regional dimension of our relationship in institutions like APEC and the ASEAN Regional Forum and in recent developments such as those on the Korean Peninsula itself; and the third is how we in Australia, Korea and the region as a whole might build on our relationships in the future.

The North Korean Nuclear Crisis: Regional Perspectives
One of them is Japans troubled relations with its regional partners. He isthe author of north Korean Nuclear Issues Negotiating history and USJapan
http://northkorea.ssrc.org/Yun/

Extractions: By Yun Duk-min Since the end of the Cold War, Japan has pursued normalization of relations with the North (or D.P.R.K.) in anticipation that it would better serve regional peace and stability and could put an end to its burdensome post-war settlement issues. Similarly, North Korea seemed to acknowledge that improved relations with Japan would be vital for reviving its failed economy. Thus, Japan-D.P.R.K. normalization offered incentives to both parties and normalization was considered both a key to opening up the D.P.R.K. to the international community and a major inducement for it to give up its nuclear programs. As Pyongyang fails to remove the obstacle of the abduction issue by providing more transparency on what happened to the abductees and shows unwillingness to resolve the nuclear issue, normalization talks between the two countries is faltering. Nevertheless, insofar as sanctions against North Korea are concerned, Japanâs official position has been particularly prudent. In contrast to the publicâs deep antagonism toward and vocal criticism of the North, the Japanese government more or less retains composure in dealing with Pyongyang. Deep down, government officials and politicians alike may prefer a more hard-line approach to North Korea. To date, however, the Japanese government has been reluctant to undertake sanctions or coercion against the North. Instead, it repeatedly states that the best way to solve the North Korean nuclear problem should be through âdialogue and negotiationâ in the six-party process, while urging the North to come back to the negotiating table.
Korea
In 1974, the population of north korea was estimated to be 15510000, while that of These states formed the famed Three Kingdoms of korean history.

Extractions: Society-KOREA "Korea was one of the earliest of the present-day nations of the world to emerge and remain clearly on the map of history. By the end of the seventh century it was essentially the same country it is today, in population, underlying culture, language, and general geographical extent" (Reischauer and Fairbank 1960: 411). The country of Korea is located in northeastern Asia on a peninsula extending some 600 miles from Manchuria into the Sea of Japan and the Yellow Sea (lat. 33 degrees 12 min.-43 degrees 2 min. N by long. 124 degrees 13 min.-130 degrees 54 min. E). Since 1948 the Korean nation has been divided into two political and geographical entities: North Korea, officially the Democratic People's Republic of Korea; and South Korea, officially the Republic of Korea, with the 38th parallel serving as the line of demarcation. The total area of Korea is 84,822 square miles, of which 38,022 square miles are in the South and 46,800 square miles are in the North. The climate throughout most of the peninsula is hot and humid in summer, cold and dry in winter. The Korean language is classified by the Voegelins within the Altaic language family although they note conflicting views on this matter. There seems to be general agreement that there are seven main dialects of Korean, and that the dialect boundaries generally correspond to the traditional provincial boundaries (Voegelin 1977: 18-19). Evidently all of these dialects are mutually intelligible except perhaps for that of Cheju Island; however, there may be sufficient divergence to cause some initial communication difficulties. As a result of long-continued Chinese influence, a large proportion of the Korean vocabulary (52 percent) consists of words borrowed from the Chinese language, while only a small percent consists of other foreign words. During the period of Japanese occupation (1910-1945), the Japanese language was introduced into the educational system-but with relatively little success. After 1945, English became a second language in the South. In 1974, the population of North Korea was estimated to be 15,510,000, while that of South Korea was estimated at 33,465,000, a combined total of 48,975,000 (Information Please Almanac 1975: 223-24). These figures indicate a much higher population density per square mile in the South than in the North (800.1 vs. 331.4). A key ecological factor is that all of Korea is mountainous, with only a fifth of the land suitable for cultivation. The best cultivable areas are the broad river valleys and wide coastal plans found along the western and southern coasts. According to Reischauer and Fairbank (1960: 400), "The greater agricultural productivity of southern and western Korea, together with their greater accessibility to China and also to Japan, has made these regions the dominant parts of the peninsula throughout history." Regional economic differences have continued into the modern period. After World War II, South Korea, with 43 percent of the land area of the peninsula and over two-thirds of its population, was predominantly agricultural, the major crops being rice, barley, sweet potatoes, and yams. North Korea on the other hand, with 57 percent of the land area but less than one-third of the population, had by far the larger part of the peninsula's industry plus ample hydroelectric resources. Since 1963, however, there has been marked industrial expansion in South Korea, including the rapid development of manufacturing, mining, transportation, and electric power. Many basic aspects of modern Korean culture and social organization are best understood if seen against the background of Korean culture history. Only the briefest outline is possible here, but a good succinct treatment is presented in Reischauer and Fairbank (1960: 394-449); while a more extensive, but highly readable, account is given in Osgood (1951: 133-346). Until the fourth century B.C., Korea was occupied by small, pre-agricultural, tribal groups migrating from northern Asia. Then, Chinese influences, which were to have a profound and continuing impact on Korean history and culture, began to penetrate the peninsula. Partly as a result of these influences, the first truly Korean state, that of Koguryo, was established in the first century B.C. Koguryo was later to see the rise of two rival states, Paekche and Silla. These states formed the famed "Three Kingdoms" of Korean history. Eventually, Silla conquered its rivals and the first political unification of Korea was achieved under the Silla dynasty in the seventh century A.D. It was during the period of this dynasty that Mahayana Buddhism and its related art forms diffused from China into Korea. The Silla dynasty gave way to the Koryo dynasty (918-1392), which, after a period of Mongol domination, was replaced by the Yi dynasty (1392-1910). The Yi dynasty, which lasted over 500 years until the Japanese annexation in 1910, saw the development of many socio-cultural patterns that continue to have a significant influence in modern Korean life. Among the main factors were (1) the establishment of the national capitol at Seoul; (2) the introduction of Confucianism, accompanied by the decline of Buddhism; (3) the invention of a precise phonetic system for writing the Korean language (later called han'gul); (4) the creation of a strong, bureaucratic central government; and, perhaps most importantly, (5) the full elaboration of a pervasive and complex system of social stratification. The stratification system consisted of a hierarchical series of status groups, usually referred to as "classes" in the literature, sanctioned and supported by Confucian precepts. At the top of the hierarchy, immediately below the King and his royal clan, were the yangban or upperclass, consisting of civil and military officials and the large landowners. There was a sharp social cleavage between the yangban and their fellow Koreans. They were distinguished from the rest of the population by high prestige, power, wealth, dress, social behavior, and education which was primarily in Confucian classics and etiquette. Next in order were the chungin or "middle people," a small group composed of petty government functionarieslawyers, bookkeepers, interpreters, copyists, astronomers, painters, doctors, etc. Below the chungin came the vast bulk of the society made up of commoners (sangmin). These were the artisans, merchants, and farmers. At the bottom of the scale was a large "low-born" class called ch'onmin, which included slaves and members of such outcaste occupations as actors, kisaeng (female entertainers comparable to the Japanese geishas), female shamans (mudang), basket weavers, and butchers. Generally, mobility between strata was very restricted (cf. Reischauer and Fairbank 1960: 428; and Koh 1959: 70-117). One of the most distinctive characteristics of traditional Korea (which it shared with Imperial China) was that although a striking rural-urban gap existed in terms of standards and styles of living, the kind of sharp cultural discontinuity between village and city that Redfield (1956) emphasizes, does not seem to be really applicable to pre-modern Korean society. The cultural patterns that Redfield differentiates with the concepts of the "great" (urban) and "little" (rural) traditions (Redfield 1956: esp. 70-71) existed together in cities, towns, and villages. "Men of letters moved back and forth frequently from rural to urban settings, while classical learning, the arts, religion, and philosophy flourished under thatched roofs as well as behind city walls" (Brandt 1971: 33-34). According to Brandt, it was only with the adoption of a progress- and change-oriented ideology during the last 50 years or so under Japanese and American influence, that contrasts between rural and urban "designs for living" have been intensified. It is obviously impossible to do justice here to the cultural changes and range of life styles which have developed in Korea since the end of the Yi dynasty. For detailed information, the reader may consult two useful handbooks which have been written on North and South Korea, respectively (cf. Clare et al. 1969; and Shinn et al. 1969). Other major source include Osgood (1951) and Dallet (1874). Most foreign observers have emphasized rural Korea's cultural homogeneity. One village seems very much like another with regard to language, food, architecture, family organization, folklore, technology, and clothes. Nevertheless, there are important provincial and local differences at both the sociocultural and psychocultural levels. At the core of village organization is a segmentary, exogamous, patrilineal lineage system. Meticulous, written lineage genealogies (chokpo) validate a person's membership in a lineage. Each lineage traces its affiliation with one of the traditional status groups or social classes. The importance of this status differential emerges clearly in Kim Taek Kyoo's study of the village of Hahoe Dong (Kim 1964). This village is the traditional ritual center of the Yu lineage, which claims numerous ancestors in high official positions during the Yi dynasty. Fifty-eight percent of the 166 village households are members of this lineage, but the extent of lineage domination is emphasized more strikingly by the fact that its members control 87 percent of the village land, even after land reform. "Discrimination along traditional class lines is still strong: intermarriage between descendants of the Yu aristocrats and commoner residents of the village never occurs, and members of this kinship group retain a monopoly of prestige, wealth, and power" (Brandt 1971: 9). Using this combination of lineage and class composition, Lee Man-Gap (1960) distinguishes three broad categories of village organization: (1) villages where a formerly aristocratic (yangban) lineage is dominant; (2) those where a commoner (sangmin) lineage is dominant; and (3) those where power and wealth are divided. The third dimension of variation has been formulated by Brandt as two opposing ethical or value systems which affect ordinary, everyday behavior. One is formal and explicit; it is largely lineage-oriented and embodies a clearly structured hierarchical system of rank and authority that is closely linked with Korean aristocratic traditions. The contrasting system reflects an egalitarian community ethic; it is informal and has no set code of moral principles, although many aspects of it are expressed in proverbs and other folk sayings. Among the important values are mutual assistance and cooperation among neighbors, hospitality, generosity, and tolerance in dealing with both kin and non-kin. Which ethical system is dominant in a village makes a great deal of difference in the quality of life of the villagers. Culture summary by Robert O. Lagace and John M. Beierle Brandt, Vincent S. R.

While there never have been any significant scientific secrets on the nuclear bomb, there has been somewhat restricted engineering information that would enable others to speed up, make more cheaply and avoid obvious tell-tale aspects of acquisition. Now we must assume that production information is widely available. It seems to me that this is a more important stage in the increasing insecurity of the world than may have been realized. Perhaps one sign of this lack of recognition is that, to the best of my knowledge, the story of the disappearance of the engineering data did not appear in

Extractions: March 12, 2003 Mr. Chairman and Members of the Committee: It is an honor and a privilege to appear before you today to discuss a vitally important issue, the regional implications of the changing nuclear equation on the Korean Peninsula. The Problem Let me begin by recapping the problem: For many years, North Korea's nuclear weapons program has been of concern to the international community. In 1993, North Korea provoked a very serious situation on the Peninsula with its announced withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, setting in motion a crisis-and-negotiation scenario that culminated in the 1994 Agreed Framework. While North Korea adhered to the Agreed Framework "freeze" on its declared plutonium production facilities at Yongbyon, last summer it became apparent that the North had been pursuing for several years another track covertly to acquire nuclear weapons, a uranium enrichment program. Our discovery of this program and North Korea's refusal even after acknowledging it to us, to dismantle it, forced us to set aside a policy we had hoped would put us on a path toward resolving all of our concerns with North Korea a path that would have offered North Korea an improved relationship with the United States and participation in the international community, with the benefits and responsibilities conferred by membership in the international community.

Extractions: The Period of the Three Kingdoms North Korea Table of Contents From approximately 108 B.C. until 313, Lolang was a great center of Chinese statecraft, art, industry (including the mining of iron ore), and commerce. Lolang's influence was widespread; it attracted immigrants from China and exacted tribute from several states south of the Han River that patterned their civilization and government after Lolang. In the first three centuries A.D., a large number of walled-town states in southern Korea grouped into three federations known as Chinhan, Mahan, and Pynhan; during this period, rice agriculture had developed in the rich alluvial valleys and plains to such an extent that reservoirs had been built for irrigation. Chinhan was situated in the middle part of the southern peninsula, Mahan in the southwest, and Pynhan in the southeast. The state of Paekche, which soon came to exercise great influence on Korean history, emerged first in the Mahan area; it is not certain when this happened, but Paekche certainly existed by 246 since Lolang mounted a large attack on it in that year. Paekche, a centralized, aristocratic state that melded Chinese and indigenous influence, was a growing power: within a hundred years Paekche had demolished Mahan and continued to expand northward into the area of present-day South Korea around Seoul. Contemporary historians believe that the common Korean custom of patrilineal royal succession began with King K n Ch'ogo (r. 346-75) of Paekche. His grandson, Ch'imnyu, inaugurated another long tradition by adopting Buddhism as the state religion in 384.

This causes great concern not only among all the Korean people, but also among people in the region. This urgent situation presses for steps to prevent a new war and ensure the peace and security in the region by concerted efforts of regional countries. The US's hostile policy against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and its arms buildup constitutes a major factor threatening security in this region. The six-party talks have yet to be resumed and the resolution of the nuclear issue has been delayed. To all intents and purposes, this is the fault of the US.
