Korea's Solidarity with the Global South (to Which It Didn't and Doesn't Belong)
The Global South is a relational and collective identity of a group of states suffering colonialism and sharing particular material and normative traits. Drawing on an exploration of the historical path of Korea's Southern identity, or the lack thereof, this article explores the origins of Korea's diplomatic narrative of solidarity as a Southern donor. In the past, the Global South did not recognize Korea as one of “us” due to its security depend…
Korea-Japan cooperation in the Indo-Pacific strategy
2022년 한국은 ‘자유, 평화, 번영의 인도-태평양 전략(이하, 인태전략)’을 발표하면서 ‘인도 태평양 지역(이하, 인태지역)’을 중심으로 한 국제사회의 협력 전략에 적극적으로 동참하였다. 인태전략은 국가별 전략인 동시에 인태지역의 중요성을 공유하는 국가들 간의 협력전략이다. 그러나 인태전략을 수립한 국가들의 인태지역에 대한 인식적 범위는 다양한데, 특히 아프리카 의 포함 여부가 상이하다. 미국, 호주와 달리 한국과 일본의 인태지역은 아프리카를 포함한다. 한국과 일본의 아프리카 외교는 초기 국제사회의 지지를 얻기 위한 외교 무대로 아프리카를 활 용하였다는 시작점을 공유할 뿐만 아니라, 이러한 외교전략이 빈곤과 기아와 같은 글로벌 이슈 대응이라는 방향으로 발전하였다는 공통점을 갖는다. 본 논문은 한국과 일본의 인태전략에서 아프리카 외교의 의미를 고찰하고, 양국간 대아프리카 개발협력 연대 가능성을…
Almost South–South solidarity
This article illuminates the contours of digitalization in a less studied light of emotion. Based primarily on interviews of South African audiences consuming Korean digital creative contents, the research illustrates their affective responses, such as empathy and collective pride but also frustration. A particular focus goes to highly educated audiences characterized by the #RhodesMustFall movement in South Africa. Grounded in a theoretical fram…
Dynamics of Korea-Africa Cultural Engagements
Aggressive yet benign
Korea’s global strategy of disseminating its audio-visual products (AVPs) reflects developmentalism driven by short-term commercial motivation. In Africa, however, the Korean government distributes AVPs free of charge, sometimes in the form of foreign aid with the aim of creating a market in the long run. This paper suggests ‘granted developmentalism’ as an explanation for Korea’s expansion strategy into Africa. Whereas growing cultural transacti…
The misadventure of Korea Aid
Korea Aid was a development project delivering Korean medical services, food and pop music via trucks to rural communities in Africa. The project was poorly conceived, vulnerable to corruption and ultimately ineffective. While Korea Aid marked a backward step for Korea’s development cooperation, revealing many of the challenges associated with emerging donors, it also reflected Korea’s aspiration to become a cultural and developmental alternative…
Who watches Korean TV dramas in Africa? A preliminary study in Ghana
More and more Ghanaians are watching Korean TV dramas. These are not just ordinary Ghanaians because they are from a particular socioeconomic bracket; they have a certain level of education, access to screen devices and Internet, accumulated previous experience of watching other foreign screen products and, most importantly, a peer network with those who can afford these items. Drawing from qualitative work and focus-group interviews, the article…
