강원대 철학과 30주년 제1차 콜로키움이 지난달 30일 교내 학과 세미나실에서 열렸다. `한·중·일 3국 동아시아 사상사 인식 비교 면면관'을 주제로 (사)강원한국학연구원(원장:유성선)이 진행한 이날 행사에서는 중국 절강공상대학 한국학연구소장인 김준 교수의 강연과 토론으로 진행됐다. 중국 연변자치주 화룡현 출신인 김준 교수는 이날 강연에서 천진시 소재 남계대학에서 역사학에 입문해 연변대(석사)와 일본 히로시마대학(박사과정)에서 수학하며 실감한 동아시아 3국의 관계와 상호발전 도모를 역설했다. 또 절강공상대학에 한국학연구원이 설립된 배경과 연구분야도 소개해 시선을 끌었다. 대학 내 동시아문화연구원(원장:왕룡·북경대 교수) 산하에 일본학연구소, 서적의 길(Book-Rod) 연구소가 함께 있는데 3국의 관계에서 보듯 한국학연구소의 역할이 막중하다고 밝혔다. 특히 절강공상대학의 동시아문화연구원이 쓰고 있는 거대한 독립건물이 병합 이전의 항주대 일본학연구소였는데 일본인들이 건축비를 댔다는 내력을 밝혀 우리의 역할을 되짚어보게 했다. 이날 행사를 주관한 강원대 철학과 유성선 교수는 “동아시아 학술네트워크를 구축해 매년 학술행사와 현장워크숍을 순회 개최할 계획”이라고 말했다. 신하림기자 peace@kwnews.co.kr

Hisory of Post Korean War North Korean attacks on South Korea

Timeline: North Korean attacks

Amid rising tensions on the Korean peninsula, and multiple threats from North Korea of attacks on US and South Korean targets, the BBC looks at some of the major attacks and incursions which have been blamed on Pyongyang.

January 1967

North Korean artillery targets a South Korean vessel, the Dangpo, patrolling in the Yellow Sea with 70 sailors on board. The ship sinks, killing 39 of the crew.

January 1968

A team of 31 North Korean commandos crosses into South Korea and breaks into the presidential palace, the Blue House, in an attempt to assassinate President Park Chung-hee. The attempt is crushed by South Korean security forces, Mr Park survives but seven South Koreans and most of the commandos are killed.

January 1968

The research ship the USS Pueblo is captured by North Korea while on a surveillance mission. One crew member dies during the capture and the remaining 82 are taken to prison camps in the North.

The prisoners are released 11 months later after the US gave an apology and assurances the vessel had not been spying - both were later retracted. The Pueblo remains in North Korea as a museum - the only US warship in captivity.

December 1969

A South Korean airliner is hijacked and forced to fly to North Korea. Dozens of passengers are taken hostage. In January, 39 of the hostages were released but the remaining 12 are not known to have been freed.

August 1974

President Park's wife dies during a second attempt on his life - she is hit by stray bullets after a suspected North Korean agent opens fire at a public function.

October 1983

North Korea bombs a hotel in Rangoon, Burma, during a visit by President Chun Doo-hwan. He survives but 21 people, including some government ministers, are killed.

November 1987

A bomb, allegedly planted by North Korean agents, explodes on board a South Korean airliner travelling to Seoul from Baghdad. All 115 passengers and crew are killed.

September 1996

A North Korean submarine runs aground near Gangneung, off the east coast of South Korea, while allegedly conducting a spy mission. The crew of 26 escape to the shore, sparking a manhunt.

Eleven of the crew are found dead, apparently shot by their compatriots, but the rest go on the run for nearly two months. One alleged spy escapes, one is captured by South Korean security forces and the rest are killed. Several South Koreans also die in the operation.

March 2010

A 1,200-tonne Corvette, the Cheonan, goes down near the disputed maritime border with North Korea - the Northern Limit Line. Many of the crew members escape but 46 are killed. After an extensive investigation, Seoul rules that a torpedo explosion directly beneath the vessel sank it and that the only "plausible explanation" is that North Korea was to blame. Pyongyang denies any involvement.

November 2010

North Korea shells a South Korean border island, Yeonpyeong, killing four South Koreans, including two civilians. It says it was responding to military exercises in the South.

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.
