Homer’s Iliad and Modern IR
The author asserts that a liberal arts approach to teaching International Relations (IR) is a unique way to teach undergraduates and to conduct research that is reflective of and relevant to real-world situations. A liberal arts approach includes interdisciplinarity, a bottom-up method to balance the top-down elite orientation of conventional IR, and data collection that focuses on human beings in real-life, concrete conditions. The article offer…
Military Prostitution and the U.S. Military in Asia
Where there are soldiers, there are women who exist for them. This is practically a cliché. History is filled with examples of women as war booty and “camp followers,” their bodies being used for service labor of various kinds, including sex. Contrary to common assumptions in the West, prostitution is not “part of Asian culture.” Just about every culture under the sun has some version of it during times of war and times of peace. In some ways, mi…
Beyond Demonization: A New Strategy for Human Rights in North Korea
Persistently engaging and formally recognizing North Korea are the measures that hold most promise on many contentious issues, including human rights
Resurrecting Prostitutes and Overturning Treaties: Gender Politics in the "Anti-American" Movement in South Korea
Although recent expressions of "anti-Americanism" in South Korea have alarmed policy makers in Seoul and Washington and aroused fears about declining popular support for the bilateral alliance, they are understandable manifestations of civil society activism, which has grown since democratization began during the late 1980s. This paper analyzes anti-Americanism as a dynamic coalition movement accompanied by the all of internal competition, confli…
Korea's Democratization
The Republic of Korea is regarded as a shining example of democracy in East Asia. Despite this significant achievement, Korea's democracy in practice has been plagued by political gridlock, severe factional infighting, a lack of social capital and cooperation between civil society and political institutions, and leadership behavior that calls to mind its authoritarian past. Although the country is now a secure electoral democracy, its journey tow…
Migrant Workers’ Movements in Japan and South Korea
Migrant workers’ movements (MWMs) in South Korea and Japan are newcomers to the world of social movements, and they are peculiar in that the Japanese and Korean nationals leading the movements are fighting to advance the rights and humane treatment of individuals inside their territorial borders but outside their national polities: foreign workers at the bottom of the economic ladder.1 The notions of equality, fairness and justice that these grou…

Sex among Allies
Sex among allies: Military prostitution in U.S.-Korea relations
Drawing on a vast array of data - archival materials, interviews with officials, social workers, and the candid revelations of sex industry workers - Moon explores the way in which the bodies of Korean prostitutes - where, when, and how they worked and lived - were used by the United States and the Korean governments in their security agreements. Weaving together issues of gender, race, sex, the relationship between individuals and the state, and…
The Comfort Women: Japan's Brutal Regime of Enforced Prostitution in the Second World War
Over 100,000 women across Asia were victims of enforced prostitution by the Japanese Imperial Forces during World War II. Until as recently as 1993 the Japanese government continued to deny this shameful aspect of its wartime history. George Hicks's book is the only history in English regarding this terrible enslavement of women
