Reconceptualizing nationality through a world-systems perspective
This article advances intersectionality by reconceptualizing nationality as a relational axis of inequality constituted through the capitalist world-system. While intersectionality has been extended to transnational, postcolonial and migration contexts, nationality has often remained conceptualized as a legal status or identity rather than as a position embedded within global political, economic and symbolic hierarchies. Drawing on in-depth inter…
The AI world-system
This article conceptualizes the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) as a new phase in the historical evolution of capitalist world-ecology, termed the AI world-system. Drawing on world-systems analysis and world-ecology, it argues that AI-driven capitalism reconfigures longstanding dynamics of uneven development, ecological appropriation, monopoly power, and the global division of labor. The article identifies data, computational capacity, advan…
The rise of new economic class in China's incorporation process (1780s−1890s)
The incorporation of China into the capitalist world-system required political, social and economic changes. Although existing studies on incorporation and comparative historical sociological research have provided numerous analyses of nineteenth-century Chinese social transformations, they lack a detailed, comprehensive account of the economic classes that emerged during the period of incorporation. This study categorizes the economic classes th…
A comparative and interconnected study of the incorporation process in China, Japan and Korea, 1780s–1940s
Although external arenas’ incorporation processes into the capitalist world-system have long been studied in the fields of world-systems analysis, colonial studies, comparative historical sociology, and global and connected history, the study of incorporation in three East Asian countries has remained primarily unexamined. Based on the fact that the incorporation of three countries in China, Korea, and Japan into the capitalist world-system took …

21세기 이래 국내 백두산연구는 다양한 주제들을 선보였고, 2013년에는 가장 많은 연구를 기록하기도 했다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 지금껏 해외에서 백두산을 바라보는 시각들을 정리하지는 못하고 있었다. 이런 점을 보완하기 위해, 본 연구는 21세기 이래 영미권에서 논의된 백두산연구들을 종합해서 제시하였는데, 이는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 백두산이 한민족에게 어떤 의미인지를 추적하는 한편, 다른 한편으로 백두산이 가지는 문화적 정체성이 어떻게 북한 김씨일가의 통치성과 연결되는지에 주목했다. 둘째, 국경지역인 백두산이 어떻게 한국과 중국 혹은 북한과 중국과의 지정학적 갈등의 원인이 되었는지 (혹은 되고 있는지에) 초점을 맞추었다. 셋째, 근대 이전 조선과 청나라가 백두산 및 인근 국경지역을 둘러싸고 어떤 논의를 진행시켰는지에 대해 주목했다. 넷째, 19세기 외국인들은 백두산 탐방을 다녀오고, 여기에서 확인…
America’s Marshall Plan and China’s One Belt and One Road Initiative
Existing research on the US Marshall Plan and China’s OBOR Initiative has tended to focus on national interests and relations with the countries involved in the projects, assuming the state or interstate relations as the unit of analysis and focusing on the background (or causes), process, and outcomes of the Marshall Plan and Belt and Road Initiative. In contrast to these approaches, this study aims to show the transnational elements (i.e., logi…
The State Formation of Late Qing China within Global Geopolitical Dynamics
This article views the nineteenth-century Qing government's acceptance of modern state logics as a momentous occasion in the government-led modern state transition amid pressure from across the geopolitical landscape. In the process of this transition, the Qing government strove to adopt the rules of the interstate system, such as border demarcation and the system of international law, which were fine-tuned to the politico-economic expansion of t…
Two Theoretical Resources for the Nineteenth Century China’s Incorporation Process
In light of the encroachment of Western powers and a sharp decline of the self-sustained Qing Empire, prominent accounts of China’s historical capitalism have tended to mark 19th-century China as a decline. In contrast to the dominant view that sees 19th-century China as a dark age, world-systems scholars, implicitly or explicitly, conceive a basic premise that 19th-century China’s incorporation process can be understood as not China’s decline bu…
Forging a Pure Military Identity
Prominent studies of the Qing dynasty's military evolution in the field of comparative military history, which is heavily dependent on the binary conception of "West-China," have failed to present the early military heritage of the dynasty. Unlike previous studies, this paper aims to find a new voice for the early Qing military inheritance, as a reflection of past West-China comparative studies that have continued to discriminate between Western …
