'동북아 시대'가 가져온 위기와 기회 우리의 의지와 역량은?
The 'Northeast Asian Era' Brings Forth Crisis and Opportunity - How Committed and Competent Are We to Cope with Them? On January 24, 2005, when I was a correspondent in Washington, I attended the 'NeoCon Forum' held at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). The forum was more of a convention of neo-cons celebrating the reelection of President George W. Bush. Not even once the term Korea, whether 'South' or 'North,' was mentioned during the forum that lasted over two hours. Once the forum was over, I asked Irwin Stelzer, the author of Neocon Reader, and Charles Krauthammer known as the 'Ideologue of NeoCon,' "Aren't you interested in the issues of the Korean peninsula or Northeast Asia?" They answered, "Compared with the Middle East, the Korean peninsula or Northeast Asia is a relatively peaceful and stable region. Washington will continue to focus on the Middle East policy. And when it comes to the Northeast Asian policy, Washington's focus will be on maintaining the status quo."

동북아 및 동남아 역사NGO의 교류 개막, 지역 영토분쟁 평화해결과 위안부 문제 해결 촉구
2012 East Asian Conference of NGOs on History and Peace in Phnom Penh, Cambodia Exchange between Northeast Asian and Southeast Asian History NGOs Begins, Calling for the Peaceful Resolution of Regional Territorial Disputes and the Resolution of the 'Comfort Women' Issue The 2012 East Asian Conference of NGOs on History and Peace was held in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, from October 18 to 21, 2012. With about 150 participants, including NGO representatives from 19 countries and regions including Korea (30 from Korea, 20 from overseas, and 100 from Cambodia), this year's conference was aimed at building a network connecting NGOs in Northeast Asia to NGOs in Southeast Asia, furthering cooperation between them, sharing the historical experiences of the two regions, and improving historical understanding for peace in the future. As Cambodia's ex-king Norodom Sihanouk had died a few days before the conference, silent tributes were offered to the deceased before the main events during the conference. And the participants from countries around the world also attended the incense-burning ceremony hosted by Hotel Cambodiana where they stayed.

일본군 '위안부' 관련 전문가 초청 콜로키움
Korea-Japan Experts Colloquium on 'Comfort Women' Held Although the sun was still hot enough to remind me that summer was not over, the cool breeze grazing against the back of my neck was an unmistakable sign of a fall evening. Professor Yoshimi Yoshiaki (吉見義明), getting off the taxi ten minutes before the appointed time at six and wearing his signature big smile, walked toward me at the front gate of the hotel across the NAHF office building. I hadn't seen him in years, which made my rendezvous with him doubly pleasant. He was coming back, as he told me, from 'The WWHR (War and the Women's Human Rights) Museum Seoul' for interviews with 'comfort women.' He may have squeezed it in during the couple of hours he had before our dinner appointment. Our dinner was simple as our minds were set on the colloquium coming up all day the next day.

광개토왕 1600주기 학술회의를 통해 본 광개토왕의 생애와 동아시아 세계관
King Gwanggaeto: His Life and World View of East Asia, on the Occasion of the Conference Commemorating the 1,600th Anniversary of His Death 'Gwanggaeto Stele' Bearing Testimony to Koguryo's History If we Koreans were asked to name the most memorable figure in the history of our people, our most likely choice for the periods of ancient history would be King Gwanggaeto. The reason may be that Koguyro's history, which unfolded dynamically across the plains of Manhuria, has been projected onto the reality of our divided nation today surrounded by neighboring powers, resonating with our national sentiment. Considering that the vast area north of the Abrok River had been our territory for over a millenium, including the 700 years of Koguryo's history and the ensuing years of Balhae, it would be only natural for the Korean people to look back on the good old years of King Gwanggaeto at least once, what with the Northeast Project of China.

중국 화북지역 항일무장투쟁 전적지를 찾아서
A Field Trip to anti-Japanese Battlefields in North China I was given an opportunity to go on a 7-day field trip, from July 17 to 23, 2012, to anti-Japanese battlefields in North China (華北) as deputy director of the 8th Independence Spirit Expedition Corps, organized by the Korea Provisional Government Foundation and sponsored by the Ministry of Patriots & Veterans Affairs and participated by about 40 college students. Although I had been to China dozens of times before, it was my first time to go on a filed trip to areas in North China where the Korean Volunteer Corps and the Korean Volunteer Army had put up a resistance against Japan.
