Title: Rejection, understanding, strategy: Japanese political studies in Korea after the Second World War
Abstract: 'It is true that Japan dealt a devastating blow to Korea's development as a nation and that we Koreans should never forget this historical fact. However, we cannot live with an iron wall between Japan and Korea. While we must learn from our history to better cope with the future, allowing emotions from the past to overwhelm the current possibilities for a pragmatic relationship is not rational. Regardless of whether we like it or not, Japan is our neighbor, as close as a raindrop on a leaf. We should know Japan. And if we want to know today's Japan, we must understand what is happening there since the Second World War. We must gain insight into what the Japanese dream about, what obstacles they deal with, what they hope for, and what influence all this could possibly have on international politics.'
