"현실성 있는 정책 대안 개발 기능 강화를"
"Focus More on Developing Realistic Policy Alternatives" The Northeast Asian History Foundation, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary next year, has conducted extensive and in-depth research, and collection and analysis of materials, on issues ranging from the military sexual slavery by Japan, sovereignty over Dokdo, and the naming of the East Sea to ancient history and distortions of history such as the Northeast Project of China. Given its limited human and financial resources, it can be said that the NAHF has been successful in carrying out its roles. In particular, the efforts that have been put into collecting, systematically managing, and exhibiting a large amount of materials supporting that Dokdo is Korean territory are praiseworthy. But there are also aspects that need improvement. To my limited knowledge, it seems that the NAHF's research and analysis have concentrated only on certain topics of history. As provided in the Act on the Establishment of the Northeast Asian History Foundation, the NAHF's objectives are to 'conduct

"교류와 연대는 한·일 시민들의 마음속에 '평화의 보루'를 쌓는 일"
"Exchange and Solidarity Are Ways to Construct the Defenses of Peace in the Minds of Korean and Japanese Citizens" Editor's Note: It is said that the relationship between Korea and Japan has never been worse than it is now. Under the circumstances, it is incredibly ironic that this year calls for a celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Korea-Japan Agreement under which the two countries normalized diplomatic relations. Despite this challenging situation, Mr. Yano Hideki, (矢野秀喜) as a sensible citizen of Japan, is striving to ensure that ROK-Japan relations improve and move forward. During his recent visit to Korea on February 13, 2015, he gave an interview to Kim Minkyu, the Director of the Department of Public Relations at the NAHF. Yano Hideki | Secretary-General of the ‘2015 Campaign for the Restoration of Korea-Japan Solidarity’He joined the movement for post-war compensation in the 1990s, and has since supported a number of related lawsuits calling for, for example, compensation for the Korean drafted workers and military and civilian personnel, and the removal of the Koreans from the Yasu

평화의 소녀상 건립 위해 애쓰는 시드니 교민들한·일 과거사 시드니 심포지엄 참석 후기
Korean Residents in Sydney Striving to Build the Statue of a Girl of Peace Report on the Sydney Symposium on the History between Korea and Japan On arriving in Sydney after a 10-hour flight, I noticed the clear sky, although my body, it seemed, was yet to register the change in season from winter in Korea to summer in Australia where the temperature reached 30 degrees Celsius. When people who saw how I was dressed asked me "Aren't you hot?" I simply answered "No, not yet." I guess that was because it was still early in the morning when I arrived. This business trip to Australia had a tight schedule of fifty hours from arrival to departure.Active Support for Former 'Comfort Women'Australia is a country about 35 times larger than the Korean Peninsula in land mass and it sent the second largest number of troops, next to the U.S., to the Korean War. Australia is well known for its supporting partnership with Korea, sharing the fundamental values of democracy, market economy, and free trade and the strategic understanding of global issues. In particular, Australia is a country where Ms. Jan Ruff O'Herne, a Dutch-Australian former 'c

갈림길에 선 소위 '다케시마의 날' 행사
The So-Called 'Takeshima Day' Ceremony at a Crossroads On February 22, 2015, the annual 'Takeshima Day' ceremony was held once again in Shimane Prefecture, Japan, celebrating its 10th anniversary this year since the first ceremony in 2005. While the main event was the 'Takeshima Day' ceremony held at the Shimane Prefectural Assembly Hall that afternoon, the noisy protest staged around the venue earlier that morning was an equally important part of it. On February 22 every year, the streets around the Shimane Prefectural Assembly Hall in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture get noisy from early in the morning because Japanese right-wingers with ear-splitting loudspeakers cry against Korean protesters who, representing Dokdo-related NGOs, hold up placards or chant slogans that point out the injustice of the 'Takeshima Day' ceremony and Japan's intention of taking away Dokdo. This always creates mayhem as the police desperately try to prevent physical confrontations between the two sides. This year was no exception. The streets around the venue we

중국 계몽주의 지식인 량치차오 그리고 조선 인식
The Chinese Enlightenment Intellectual Liang Qichao and His Perception of Korea Liang Qichao (梁啓超, 1873-1929) was born to a family of xiangshen (鄕紳) (a class in Chinese society that consists of those who, though qualified as government officials, choose to live in country, or retired officials or influential figures in country) in Xinhui (會新), Guangdong Province, the forefront of China's resistance against the Western powers' aggression, in 1873 (or Year 12 of Emperor Tongzhi's reign), 33 years after the First Opium War broke out and 10 years after the Taiping Rebellion was suppressed, a time when China was being shattered by the waves of Western influence sweeping into the country.Facing a total crisis caused by the extremely shaken state system and the impact of Western influence in the beginning of the 19th century, Chinese intellectuals actively sought a change that would ensure their survival and save their country. The most sensitive to change were progressive intellectuals in the late 19th century, who established the political and ideological foundations o

17세기 몽골인들이 직접 쓴 유목민의 삶과 역사
The Life and History of the Nomadic Tribe Written by the 17th-Century Mongols Themselves The Northeast Asian History Foundation published An Annotated Translation of the Mongol Chronicle Altan Tobči (annotated translation by Kim Jang-gu) in November 2014. This book is a translation of Quriyangɤui Altan Tobči written in 17th-century Mongolian script (Mongol bichig), and it is about the so-called 'Golden Lineage (Altan urag)' of Chinggis Khan.The original manuscript of this book had been owned for generations by the family of Batmend, a nomad who lived in Govi-Altai aimag, until 1997, when he made it known to the world by providing it for Professor Sh. Choimaa, one of his younger friends from home. Professor Sh. Choimaa spent years studying this history written in ancient Mongolian script, and finished a transliteration of the entire text into the modern Monglian language for publication in 2002. By 2011, it had been updated and published as a study complete with an annotation, an index, and photographs of the original manuscript. This book's author and year of publication a

"재단의 최고 전략은 전문성 축적"
"Building Up Expertise is the Best Strategy for the NAHF" ▲ Honorary Research Fellow Lee Hoon addressing at     the international conference celebrating the 2nd     anniversary of the Dokdo Research Institute▲ Honorary Research Fellow Lee Hoon receiving     flowers from President Kim Hakjoon at the     retirement ceremony on December 31, 2014In eight years since I started working for the Northeast Asian History Foundation, I became 'the first to retire.' Actually I wasn't too thrilled to be 'the first,' fearing it as a potential excuse for them to ask me to contribute an essay or something. And my fear was confirmed. They insisted. What could I do about it? The eight years of my service at the NAHF was a relatively short time for me, less than half of the time I served in my previous employment at the National Institute of Korean History, and it was also quite a departure in terms of working environment or job description. Even though I joined the NAHF at an old age, I personally had a good, dynamic time there, enjoying the opportunity to mee

종로구 내자동 한성임시정부 유적지
The Site of the Hanseong Provisional Government in Naeja-dong Jongno-gu, Seoul ▲ The Prospectus of the National     Convention, the stone sign located    near Exit 7 of Gyeongbokgung    StationOnce the Korean people's strong desire for independence was expressed through the March 1st Movement, Japan tightened its grip of suppression and surveillance even further. And the imprisonment of the national leaders of the March 1st Movement led to the consensus that a more systematic organization for independence movement would need to be formed. This consensus led to the establishment of the Korean National Council in Vladivostok, Russia on March 17, 1919 and of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea in Shanghai, China on April 13 of the same year. In Korea, there were like-minded people like Han Nam-su and Hong Myeon-hee who made plans to establish a government together with the representatives of thirteen provinces and religious leaders at the Mangguk Park in Incheon on April 2, 1919. They gathered together in the house of Han Seong-o, a prosecutor at tha
