Navigating Between Mission and Competitiveness: Catholic Higher Education in Korea
This study examines the evolution and current challenges of Catholic Higher Education (CHE) in South Korea within the context of globalization and neoliberal educational reform. It explores how Korean Catholic universities balance their distinctive mission with intensifying pressures for competitiveness, external validation, and adaptation to secular academic norms. Drawing on P. Boudieu’s field theory and H. Richard Niebuhr’s typology of Christi…
The racialized, racializer, and anti-racializer: Religion and the racialization of refugees in South Korea
This article examines the contentious representation of Yemeni refugees in South Korea to demonstrate that it reflects racialization rather than straightforward Islamophobia. It argues that the relationship between religion and racialization is complex and nonlinear, challenging conventional assumptions that treat religion as a direct or uniform basis for racialization. Drawing on the framework of compressed modernity, the study shows how Korea’s…
Promoting Migrants' Rights in South Korea: NGOs and the Enactment of the Employment Permit System
Scholarship dealing with the promotion of migrants' rights has developed largely against the backdrop of experiences in Western liberal democratic countries. As a consequence, the roles of the state and global human rights regime have been emphasized to explain the expansion of migrants' rights. Looking at the enactment process of the Employment Permit System in South Korea, this paper argues that local pro-immigrant NGOs played a more crucial ro…
Catalysers in the Promotion of Migrants' Rights: Church-Based NGOs in South Korea
The scholarship on Korean migration indicates that pro-immigrant NGOs are significant social actors who have influenced the formation and transformation of Korean immigration policy. Nevertheless, it has neglected the conspicuous impact of both church-based NGOs and the leadership of activist-clergy upon the promotion of immigrant rights and status. This article explores the origins of advocacy, its contribution and the unintended consequences. I…
Defining Nations in Asia and Europe: A Comparative Analysis of Ethnic Return Migration Policy
We argue that regional comparison of East Asian and European ethnic return migration policy offers important new perspectives on nationhood, nondiscrimination norms, and trans-nationality. We find that despite international nondiscrimination norms, preferential ethnic return policy is common in both regions. These policies at least implicitly define the nation as existing across borders. However, there are significant regional differences. East A…
