위기 극복을 통한 한·일 역사갈등의 해법찾기
Overcoming the Crisis and Finding Solutions to Historical Disputes between Korea and Japan The March 11 earthquake and tsunami that swept northeastern Japan reminded us of the nature's destructive power and the fragility of human existence. And the consequent nuclear incident in Fukushima made us witness the disastrous results of our arrogance and recklessness. Japan is well known for its preparedness to handle earthquake situations, but it stood helpless to the destructive power of the nature. In addition, we realize that nuclear power plants in Japan, which had been considered very safe, could turn into nuclear weapons with terrifying force should unexpected events take place.

19세기 후반, 한반도의 외국인을 연구하다
Studying Transnational Community in Korea during Late 19th Century The Northeast Asian History Foundation invites promising scholars from different countries across the world as part of its efforts to peacefully resolve historical issues in Northeast Asia and enhance global awareness of Korea's perspectives on these issues, as well as establishing a lasting network of intellectual and academic exchanges with foreign scholars. Transnationalism has recently emerged as a new alternative solution to historical disputes, analyzing historical, social, cultural, and political phenomena from an objective perspective. Against this backdrop, we had an interview with one of the Foundation's visiting fellow, Klaus Dittrich, who studies the foreigners' community in late Joseon period from a transnational perspective.

제6회 제주포럼 역사화해, 그리고 동아시아 평화
The 6th Jeju Forum Peace and Prosperity in East Asia The 6th Jeju Forum took place on May 27-29, and as many as 1,500 people participated in the three-day forum. Although it is smaller compared to internationally renowned gatherings, such as Davos Forum or Boao Forum, it is of significant size among the international conferences held in Korea. Considering that the number of participants in the 5th Jeju Forum two years ago stood at around 500, the forum has made significant quantitative growth due to extensive topics for discussion, changes in format, more invitations to participants.

한반도 고대문화 속의 울릉도-토기문화
Ulleungdo in the Context of the Ancient Culture of the Korean Peninsula The East Sea is surrounded by South and North Koreas, Russia and Japan. Today, the sea is a venue where the four countries' mutually-beneficial exchanges and strategic conflicts take place. At the center are Korea's Dokdo islets and Ulleungdo. As an archeologist, I see there are two most fascinating things about Ulleungdo. First, the sheer sizes and numbers of ancient tombs are disproportionate to the size and topographical conditions of the island. Second, the fact that there are no archeological data discovered except for the ones that are believed to belong to Silla Dynasty which is assumed to have ruled the island for 350 years. When based solely on relics, it can be concluded that it was virtually a desert island before General Yi Sabu conquered the island which was then-called Usanguk in 512 and after the construction of tombs was halted.

내정의 난맥 속에 사라진 뛰어난 외교 감각
Excellent Diplomatic Skills Disappeared amid Complicated Internal Affairs - Gwanghaegun An Era Facing Three Layers of External Pressure The political order in East Asia was rapidly changing under the reign of King Gwanghaegun (1608~1623). The change was triggered when Japan, who had been considered as "barbarians in the islands outside the Sino-centric world order", challenged Ming China in 1592 by invading Korea in the Imjin War. It became clear that Ming Dynasty was falling into ruins, and Joseon was faltering in the aftermath of war. In contrast, Japan emerged as a military powerhouse, and the Jianzhou Jurchens led by Nurhaci confronted Ming as a powerful group in Manchuria.
