[ Message from the Director ]
The
Sejong Institute
Japan Center
is a research institute which is affiliated to Sejong Institute, the only
non-governmental national strategic institute in Korea. Sejong Institute conducts
advanced policy-oriented research on contemporary and future issues concerning Korea’s
security, unification, and diplomacy under the comprehensive perspective of ‘national strategy’. Sejong Institue is dedicated to providing expert
information and analysis for effective and comprehensive national policy
decisions and has gained recognition for its achievements both domestically and
internationally.
At present, the Sejong Institute Japan
Center is focused on conducting a
2-year research on Japanese
politics, economy, society, and culture. In order to achieve the ultimate
objective of “seeking an alternative development strategy on a national,
regional, and global level”, and to accumulate research results systematically,
we are conducting research programs that are as follows:
During the first year, we analyzed the accomplished development and
crisis of East Asia in the late 20th century
from the stand point of post modernism and post expansionism. And this year we
are evaluating the validity of the strategies of East Asian countries’ and alternative
policies to overcome the economic crisis based on the results from the first
year.
Thank you to all those who have shown
interest for your heartfelt
support and valuable advice. Your encourgement and crucial critics
have helped us to progress. This kind of active participation is what is needed
to make Sejong Institute Japan
Center better. Also, I
would like to ask the leaders in every field, and to our friends to
support Sejong Institute Japan
center so it can successfully achieve its goals.
