[ Key Objectives ]
The
Sejong
Institute
Japan Center
is the Japanese Dept. of the joint research program called <Crisis and
Response in East Asia: Reorienting and
Regionalizing Developmnetal model> which is under the
authority of <Inter-university consortium for
East Asian Studies>.
The joint research of the <Inter university consortium for East
Asian Studies> aims to overcome the tendency of research activities
which is confined within a single discipline such as Japanese Studies, Chinese
Studies, and Southeast Asian Studies and at the same time it pursues East Asian
Area studies that combine the whole East Asia into a sinlge
region. This joint research pursues the theorization within the middle range of
“The East Asian Region”. It integrates the
member associations’ research activities that specialize in one or two
countries or regions into the <Inter university consortium for East Asian Studies> and establishes
a Research Committe and a Comparitive Research Team in order to adjust and
compare the research of the resepective countries and regions.
This joint research, which is composed of 3 teams, political economy,
economy, and society and culture, seeks the collaboration not only among area
studies but also social science and humanities. Therefore, it attempts a
cooperative research among politics, economics, sociology, and anthropology
etc. within one country or one region, and at the same time, seeks a
inter-disciplinary research strategy that links each country and each region.
This joint research is composed of 2-year research program as follows:
The first year : development and crisis of East Asia
– analyzing the accomplished development and the crisis
of East Asia in the late 20th century from a
point of post modernism and post expansionist point of view.
The second year : response and choice of East Asia
– evaluating the validity of East Asian countries’
strategies and alternative policies to overcome the economic crisis
Also this joint research is planned and promoted with a
talent-training and
data- collecting program in order to meet the basic objective of Korea research
foundation’s Basic Studies Program; simultaneous realization of research,
education, and data colleting. The center carries out a variety of programs,
ranging from organizing research committees, supporting and training the next
generation of area specialists, and managing a virtual library that classifies
and keeps books and materials related to researches.
