Confucianism and Reflexive Modernity
Confucianism and Reflexive Modernity offers an excellent example of a dialogue between East and West by linking post-Confucian developments in East Asia to a Western idea of reflexive modernity originally proposed by Ulrich Beck, Anthony Giddens, and Scott Lash in 1994. The author makes a sharp confrontation with the paradigm of Asian Value Debate led by Lee Kwan-Yew and defends a balance between individual empowerment and flourishing community f…
Genealogical Traces of Populism and Multiple Typologies of Populist Orientation in South Korea
This paper is aimed at two goals. The first is to outline major genealogical traces of populism in South Korea. The second is to develop multiple typologies of populist citizens. The first is speculative and comprehensive, while the latter is analytic and empirical. The major findings of the empirical analysis show significant attitudinal differences 1) between two groups of citizens: populist and conventionalist; 2) between two groups within pop…
Dialogue with John Dunn on Korean Denuclearization
This dialogue addresses the global risk that broke out of the North Korean development of nuclear weapons and missiles. It starts from the brutal consequences of the national division for Korea and asks why North Korea has been so preoccupied with nuclear projects as has been found to be the case since the 1990s, and how much and why Kim Jung-un today differs from his father in terms of his future, and where the fundamental limit lies in Moon Jae…

The Legacy of Ulrich Beck in Asia
This introduction briefly describes the relational trajectory between Ulrich Beck and Asia in the last few years. It draws particular attention to his last words about the role of Asia in the global risk community. Beck began to speak of the concept of metamorphosis in the 2014 Seoul conference as the correct key to understanding emancipatory catastrophism that he had expressed in the 2013 Potsdam conference. He was fascinated by the explanatory …
Cosmopolitan Sociology and Confucian Worldview
This article aims at an active dialogue between Ulrich Beck and East Asia with respect to cosmopolitan imagination. Beck's cosmopolitan sociology requires a reflective cosmopolitan publicness to cope with various kinds of global risks. We therefore extract three different layers of publicness from neo-Confucianism - survival-oriented, deliberative, and ecological - and argue that Beck's cosmopolitan vision can be better conceptualized when proper…

Second-modern transformation in East Asia
This paper is an attempt to explore an open-ended dialogue with Ulrich Beck with respect to second-modern transformation. The aim is at an “active,” and thus perhaps “strong,” dialogue, which is more penetrating than a “passive” and “weak” dialogue. I define an approach to be “active” if one takes full consideration of the genealogical traits of Asian culture and history. Critical of the hegemonic assumptions of Western social theories, this appr…
Emancipatory catastrophism from an East Asian perspective
This article explores the broad contexts and meanings of Ulrich Beck's new concepts of emancipatory catastrophism and metamorphosis ( Verwandlung) from an East Asian perspective. At the same time, it responds to the dialogue papers solicited from the participants of The Seoul Conference on 2014 - Climate Change and Risk Society: New Trends of Megacity Transformation. It serves as an introduction to a cosmopolitan dialogue with Beck in the age of …
From the Asian Value Debate to Cosmopolitanism
Family-Oriented Individualization and Second Modernity
This paper examines individualization from the perspective of transnational marriage as a concrete historical tendency in Korea today. Transnational marriage involves global risks, indi- vidualization and cosmopolitan change identified by Beck as three major driving forces of second modernity. The research questions asked in this paper include: First, how do global risks work as a driving force pushing the state and the individuals toward transna…
