North Korea: What Next?

North Korea: What Next?

Vyjayanti RaghavanAssociate Professor, Korean language and culture studies, JNU email: jayantiraghavan@yahoo.co.in

Kim Jong-il died, unfortunately, just a few months before the centenary celebrations of his father, the late ‘Supreme Leader’ and ‘Founder Father’ Kim Il-Sung, were to take place. The whole nation was gearing up to making North Korea a ‘strong and prosperous nation’ by the centennial year 2012. There were no clear answers as to how they proposed to do this, at least not to the outside world. North Korea had also publicly declared its desire to become a fully functional nuclear weapons state by 2012. Was it this sort of pressure that resulted in Kim Jong-il’s fatal myocardial infarction, as speculated? Unlikely, North Korean leaders - only two so far – have not really had to deliver on their promises to their people. Indeed, they have always been able to magically turn even dung into flowers for the North Korean people by merely shifting the angle of focus. However, this has begun to gradually change in the last few years, with globalization leading to a trickling in of information about their well-to-do southern half brethren. As a result, people started becoming savvy by reading between the lines in the information doled out to them about the world outside. Kim Jong-il, therefore, might have felt the pressure of having to deliver on some count or the other, whether it was on the nuclear front or on the economic front. His hold on his people was not as total as his father’s and he would not have been able to fool the people all the time. This raises the question of the credibility of the designated heir apparent, Kim Jong-eun. Will he be able to hold the country together? No one knows anything about him. In fact it is his father’s death that has catapulted him into some prominence. The topmost question on many peoples’ minds when the news of Kim Jong-il’s death broke was this: will the people of North Korea use this opportunity to rise against the establishment as people elsewhere in the world have done recently, fighting for justice? This thought might have been triggered by the fact that of late, the people of North Korea have been engaging in exercising their will in a small way through some amount of non-state directed buying and selling of goods. The answer came via the outpouring of the people in their praise of the heir apparent. Many other issues too have to be settled now. For instance, what happens to the six party talks? Whom will the negotiators henceforth represent during talks? If the military continues to wield power, who will be their frontman? Kim Jong-eun may be a four-star general in the Korean People’s Army (KPA) but he is not even a member of the National Defense Commission (NDC) of which Kim Jong-il was chairman and which is the main organization that takes important decisions regarding the ‘military first’ regime. Also, what is the future of the nuclear weapons and missiles programme in North Korea? Kim Jong-eun is too young and inexperienced. He has not been built up sufficiently yet to have been indoctrinated into the psyche of the people, nor has he himself had enough time to take over the nuclear weapons programme. His father Kim Jong-il had been handed over the weapons programme by his father Kim Il-sung to raise his standing in the eyes of his countrymen long before he died, and Kim Jong-il inherited the power of the state. Kim Jong-eun has had no such luck. The first few weeks after the funeral on 28 December will be crucial. Kim Jong-il’s 65 year old brother-in-law Jang Song-T’aek was the vice-chairman of the NDC and the second-in-command before Kim Jong-il died. Now it remains to be seen whether Kim Jong-eun is inducted into the NDC, and if so at what level. In any case, internally, it is this uncle who will be the crucial kingpin, as Uncle Jang could play Shakuni and either become his mentor or take charge completely. Externally, the fact that North Korea possesses nuclear weapons creates an imperative on China to ensure stability. So as long as Kim Jong-eun manages to retain China’s support he should be alright, for the time being.

                                   Cosmopolitan view a key to success

 

 

Many perceive globalization as a fairly modern trend, but an expert of 6th-century Korean history said it is not a new concept, a foreign expert on the 6th century Korean history.

In fact, it has existed ever since the Silla dynasty.

“The Silla dynasty’s cosmopolitan world view had led to the reunification of the three dynasties ― Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla ― and the world approaches of the Silla dynasty much resemble the modern Korea’s world view ―- which made both successful,” Pankaj Mohan, Silla expert and professor at the Academy of Korean Studies, told The Korea Herald.

The Indian professor, who has devoted two-thirds of his life to Korean studies and Korean history, said his research about Korea was inspired by a poem by an Indian poet, Rabindranath Tagore, the first Asian to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature.

The enlightening passage he read goes like this: “In the golden age of Asia/Korea was one of its lamp-bearers/and that lamp is waiting to be lighted once again for the illumination in the East.”

Pankaj Mojan says “I just want to make Korea accessible in many ways to the outer world.” (Ahn Hoon/The Korea Herald)

Since then, he has focused on Korea’s influence on other Asian countries and discovered intriguing similarities between the 6th-century Silla dynasty and modern Korea’s development.

“Silla scholars studied the outer world, where they got their guiding principles that gave them both originality and creativity. Likewise, in contemporary society, Korea is also prosperous, because they are out in the world learning foreign ideas and creativity while keeping their traditional values at the same time.”

“Silla, too, became one of the most advanced and formidable powers in the Korean peninsula because of such traits. A country can become strong by opening the door to the world ― by learning from the experience of other cultures and countries.”

As an example, he cited the Silla settlement in the Shandong area of China - much like Koreatowns in other countries these days, “A large number of Silla people settled in Shandong area and had their own temples too,” he said.

When he began Korean studies back in 1976 in the Jawaharlal Nehru University, his parents were skeptical about learning the Korean language as a way to build a career. “My parents thought that if I studied English literature or other languages such as French or German, I would have better job prospects.”

“But I was encouraged to study this field after meeting with a very good master, Seo Kyung-soo, from Dongguk University, who had established Korean history for the first time in New Delhi.”

Through Seo, he had developed a firm belief that Korea would prosper, just as Tagore foresaw in his poem.

“The lamp has been lit up,” he said.

“I was convinced at that time that Korea is the country of the future. Small as it may be, it is a dynamic economy with lot of potential.”

He also found the study of the Korean history insufficient. “It was like a well kept secret, not properly explored, I wanted to be the frontier.”

Many scholars in the west tend to study Chinese or Japanese history rather than Korean history, he said but pointed out that by understanding Korea, one can understand China and Japan with clarity. “Korea’s influence and transformation have greatly affected their histories.”

“I want to highlight the role of Korea in introducing the Buddhist culture to Japan and the ways in which the Koreans adopted the Chinese culture to their situation.”

In recognition of his contribution to the development of Korean studies at home and abroad, Seoul City recently gave him honorary citizenship.

“When you see a well, you should think about people who worked hard to dig that well. Likewise, the honorary citizenship makes me think about ancestors of Seoul, those past leaders who worked hard to make the capital a beautiful city. I feel a great responsibility to do something to add to its dynamism and to make Korea and Seoul better understood to the outside world.”

Currently, Mohan is a faculty head at the academy and also a professor at Sydney University in Australia. He is on a three-year leave from the university, which he is spending in Korea.

Lab for Globalization of Korean Studies

Vyjayanti Raghavan (Associate Professor Korean Language, Literature & Culture Studies, JNU, New Delhi).

The Strategic Initiative for Korean Studies (SIKS) has itself been an innovative idea for initiating research in Korean studies.
It is committed to and has pioneered many excellent academic works around the globe in the field of Korean studies.
The recently launched Lab for Globalization of Korean studies is also one such innovative initiative which as the name suggests will be a lab for conducting research under the able guidance and direction of a Lab master who will bring together researchers of this area of study and also decide the topic of research.
The world has become far more interdependent now than ever before and it is only right that researchers of the same area of study are linked together for more productive, efficient and less duplication of research work.
In an era when Korea itself has gone global it is only right that Korean studies too become global to keep in tune with the growing interest in the area.
More than anything else, the funding of such globalization of Korean studies will ensure collective participation of researchers who may until now have had an interest but not had the funds to conduct meaningful research on Korea.
This initiative is innovative in that it will help simplify the procedure for conducting research by doing away with bureaucratic procedures and reams of paper work which have largely been responsible for procedural delays and for killing all incentive and motivation for research work.
It is innovative in that it no longer provides just an opportunity and financial aid for conducting research about Korea but will also initiate change in the subject matter to be studied and through that bring about a concurrent change in the global perception of Korean studies.
And which organization is better placed than the Academy of Korean Studies to provide such new models for innovation and experimentation?

TOPIK - An Introduction

TOPIK, or Test of Proficiency in Korean is a Korean language test offered four times annually to foreigners in Korea and twice annually to people studying Korean in other countries. TOPIK is administered by the Korea Institute of Curriculum and Evaluation (Hangul: 한국교육과정평가원 Hanja: 韓國敎育課程評價院).The test was first administered in 1997 and taken by 2274 people. Initially the test was held only once a year.In 2009, 180,000 people took the test.^[2] The Korean government introduced a law in 2007 that required Chinese workers of Korean descent who have no relatives in Korea to take the test so they could be entered in a lottery for visas.The test is divided into four parts: vocabulary & grammar, writing, listening, and reading. There is currently no oral section. Two versions of the test are offered: standard (S)-TOPIK and the business (B)-TOPIK. There are three different levels of S-TOPIK: beginner (초급), intermediate (중급), and advanced (고급). Depending on the average score and minimum marks in each section it is possible to obtain grades 1-2 in beginner, 3-4 in intermediate and 5-6 in advanced S-TOPIK. In B-TOPIK the scores in each section (out of 100) are added together to give a score out of 400. In addition to Korea, TOPIK is available in the following countries: Japan, Taiwan, China, Mongolia, Vietnam, Philippines, Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Iran, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Paraguay, Argentina, Germany, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, France, Turkey, Czech Republic, Egypt, Belarus, Russia, Brazil and Cambodia.

World Bank picks health expert Kim as president

WASHINGTON
Mon Apr 16, 2012 7:35pm EDT



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The World Bank on Monday chose Korean-born American health expert Jim Yong Kim as its new president, maintaining Washington's grip on the job and leaving developing countries frustrated with the selection process.



Kim, a physician and anthropologist who makes for a somewhat unorthodox choice to head the global anti-poverty lender, won the job over Nigeria's widely respected finance minister, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, with the support of Washington's allies in Western Europe, Japan and Canada - as well as some emerging economies.



It was the first time in the World Bank's history that the United States' hold on the job was challenged.



The decision by the World Bank's 25-member board was not unanimous, with emerging economies splitting their support. Brazil and South Africa backed Okonjo-Iweala, while three sources said China and India supported Kim.



Kim, 52, who is president of Dartmouth College, will assume his new post on July 1 after Robert Zoellick steps down as head of the World Bank.



"I will seek a new alignment of the World Bank Group with a rapidly changing world," Kim said in a statement.



He said he would work to ensure that the World Bank "delivers more powerful results to support sustained growth; prioritizes evidence-based solutions over ideology; amplifies the voices of developing countries; and draws on the expertise and experience of the people we serve."



Okonjo-Iweala congratulated Kim and said the competition had led to "important victories" for developing nations, which have increasingly pushed for more say at both institutions.



Still, she said more effort was needed to end the "unfair tradition" that ensured Washington's dominance of the global development lender.



"It is clear to me that we need to make it more open, transparent and merit-based," Okonjo-Iweala said. "We need to make sure that we do not contribute to a democratic deficit in global governance."



Some development experts criticized U.S. President Barack Obama's choice as lacking the economic and financial credentials needed to respond to the needs of rising middle-income countries, which are still riddled with poverty but which are increasingly looking for innovative ways to finance their development.



The United States said the process was open and transparent, but a number of emerging nations questioned whether candidates were assessed on their nationalities rather than on their merits, as World Bank members countries had agreed in 2010.



The United States has held the presidency since the World Bank's founding after World War Two, while a European has always led its sister institution, the International Monetary Fund.



BREAKING THE MOLD



Unlike previous heads of the World Bank, Kim is not a politician, a banker or a career diplomat. He has worked to bring health care to the poor in developing countries, whether fighting tuberculosis in Haiti and Peru or tackling HIV/AIDS in Russian prisons.



His training and experience, including directing the World Health Organization's HIV/AIDS department and developing treatments for a form of drug resistant tuberculosis, gave him immediate credentials as a campaigner on behalf of the poor.



He is also a founder of Partners In Health, which focuses on community health programs for impoverished nations. He earned both his medical degree and his doctorate in anthropology at Harvard University, where he helped set up the Global Health Delivery Project.



South African Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan welcomed the fact that non-Americans competed for the first time, but also said there were concerns the process was not fully merit-based.



"I think we are going to find that the process falls short of that," he said.



As part of their efforts to gain greater say in global financial institutions, emerging economies are also pushing for greater voting power at the International Monetary Fund.



Brazilian Finance Minister Guido Mantega said his country would not give additional money to the IMF to tackle the effects of the European sovereign debt crisis until the institution showed firm commitment to voting reforms.



Former Colombian finance minister Jose Antonio Ocampo withdrew from the race for the top World Bank post on Friday, saying the process had become highly political.



Nancy Birdsall, president of the Washington-based Center for Global Development, said it would be healthy if countries made public which candidate they supported and why.



"History was made because there were three candidates," she said. "In the next round it would be good to have more transparency about which board member supported which candidate for what reason."



Birdsall said it would be important for Kim to show early on that he was committed to change by appointing candidates from developing countries to other top posts.

The 6th All India Korean Language Educators’ Workshop, 2012 held in India

 

The 6th All India Korean Language Educators’ Workshop, 2012 held in India. Unfortunately, I could'nt participate in the Workshop  as I am in Korea  but it was a great opportunity to get an idea of the  current status of Korean Language  Learning and its development in India. It was a valuable opportunity to listen some of the distinguished scholars from Korea at the same time. Here are the details of the schedule of the Workshop. I wish all the best for the upcoming Academic activities related to Korean language and  Korean Studies  in future. This kind of academic moves are immensley significant in  a highly populated Country like India where the Korean language learners are increasing at a rapid speed.  As the demand of the Korean language and Korean Studies are increasing in India, there is a necessity of  more Korean Language Centres in the other parts of the Country especially in rural areas where Korea is not well known among the masses.
