The Korean Peace Process and Civil Society

Towards Strategic Peacebuilding

By: Dong Jin Kim

“This is a must-read book for anyone searching for insight into the peace process of the divided Korean peninsula. As a peace researcher and activist, the author highlights the role of civil society in making peacebuilding possible and sustainable on the Korean peninsula. This volume opens a new horizon to the study of peace and conflict.” —Koo, Kab Woo, Professor, University of North Korean Studies “This book makes an enormous contribution to our understanding of the dynamics of peace and conflict on the Korean peninsula and expands our understanding of the requirements of sustainable peacebuilding. The emphasis on the role of civil society as part of an inclusive approach to strategic peacebuilding is especially helpful.”—Iain Atack, Assistant Professor in International Peace Studies, Trinity College Dublin “This expertly crafted book makes an original contribution to understanding peacebuilding theory and the critical role of civil society in strategic peacebuilding. It offers valuable lessons and hope for peaceful transformation of the Korean conflict as well as the negotiation of a sustainable peace in other protracted conflict settings.”—Wendy Lambourne, Senior Lecturer, Department of Peace and Conflict Studies, University of Sydney The Post-Cold War era witnessed a dramatic rise in breakthroughs for peace processes, including the Korean peninsula, between parties mired in protracted conflict. However, many such processes broke down within a short period of time. This book explores the possibilities for comprehensive and sustainable peacebuilding strategy in the Korean peace process, beyond reaching an agreement, by reviewing diverse peacebuilding activities from government and civil society.

Western Buddhist Feminists' Contribution to Christian Theology

By: Dong Jin Kim

This book discusses gender injustice and justice in religious institutions and spiritual life. Fixed as a gender, God/Goddess leads those who have the same gender to subordinate anyone who differs. In this sense, the patriarchal and androcentric system has caused many religious women to lose their spiritual and faithful equality and identities in a church. This book details how Western Buddhist feminists find that, after recuperating women’s equivalent rights and identities, both religious men and women need to meditate to achieve the emptiness of gender ego—gender privilege and prejudice—which then leads to awakening and enlightenment from ignorance. To apply such skills in Christian theology, gender justice comes from spiritual equality and courage—awakening and repentance—in their contemplative and meditative lives. This book suggests that, for women’s spiritual and real liberation and happiness, both inner trainings and external social actions have to go together.

Understanding Society through a Systems Approach

Interdisciplinary Perspectives from the Social Sciences

By: Kim Dong-Hwan

Kim offers an accessible, interdisciplinary textbook using systems theory as a framework to stimulate discussion about how the social sciences develop understanding of society and its evolution. It promotes an integrated view of the social sciences by proposing politics, economics, administration, and community as the core areas of society, and explains their characteristics, how they are moved by what kind of systems, and how they have evolved through their interrelationships. This book explains how the major areas of operate on certain structures and principles, and how they have developed while maintaining certain relationships with each other. The beauty of the entire field of social sciences lies in understanding society and social sciences as a whole and the relationships that intertwines it. It is unique in that it approaches social science from an Eastern perspective, using traditional Eastern thought and social phenomena as examples in its explanations and proposes a methodology for understanding society that’s different to traditional social science textbooks, which use the application of natural science methodology and statistics to understand society. Designed for a wide range of students in sociology, politics, and economics, encouraging interdisciplinary thinking and understanding. It is written with citations of classical writings by social scientists, including Locke, Rousseau, Hobbes, Mill, Marx, Engels, Proudhon, Smith, Weber, Durkheim, Buber, Myrdal, Habermas, Popper, Hayek, Putnam, and others. Through this book, readers can gain panoramic insights into how the works of these social scientists are interconnected.

Making a Semiconductor Superpower

The Seven Engineers from KAIST Who Shaped the Chip Industry

By: Dong-Won Kim

This book provides real stories about the South Korean semiconductor community. It explores the lives and careers of six influential semiconductor engineers who all studied at Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) under the mentorship of Dr. Kim Choong-Ki, the most influential semiconductor professor in South Korea during the last quarter of the twentieth century. Kim’s students became known as “Kim’s Mafia” because of the important positions they went on to hold in industry, government, and academia. This book will be of interest to semiconductor engineers and electronics engineers, historians of science and technology, and scholars and students of East Asian studies. “They were called ‘Kim’s Mafia.’ Kim Choong-Ki himself wouldn’t have put it that way. But it was true what semiconductor engineers in South Korea whispered about his former students: They were everywhere. ... Kim was the first professor in South Korea to systematically teach semiconductor engineering. From 1975, when the nation had barely begun producing its first transistors, to 2008, when he retired from teaching, Kim trained more than 100 students, effectively creating the first two generations of South Korean semiconductor experts.” (Source: IEEE Spectrum, October, 2022.)

Gainsharing and Goalsharing

Aligning Pay and Strategic Goals

By: Kenneth Mericle,Dong-One Kim

Gainsharing and goalsharing, if carefully designed and administered, have great potential as compensation systems that align pay with the broader strategic objectives of the organization. To be successful over the long term, gainsharing and goalsharing require periodic review and adjustment to changing business conditions and continuing emphasis on mobilizing and involving employees. The authors share important insights from recent research (including two large-scale surveys of their own) on factors related to success and failure, and they provide highly useful information for anyone seeking to design and implement a gainsharing or goalsharing program, including managers, human resource professionals, and union officers. Scanlon, Modified Scanlon, Rucker, Improshare, and goalsharing plans are defined as group-based contingent compensation schemes that are often combined with an employee involvement component. Gainsharing programs have been adopted at an accelerating rate by American corporations in the last decade. Approximately 40% of Fortune 1,000 firms reported the use of gainsharing in the 1990s, and there is little doubt that more programs exist than ever before. According to most evaluations, gainsharing and goalsharing are considered to be particularly potent among the various types of recent innovative human resource programs. By taking a process-based approach that presents a step-by-step guide to the implementation of gainsharing from design to administration and long-term maintenance, this book provides readers with practical and hands-on advice and guidance on gainsharing and goalsharing.

Confucianism and Modernization in East Asia

Critical Reflections

By: Kim Kyong-Dong

Spanning the 19th and 20th centuries and identifying multiple waves of modernization, this book illustrates how principles originating in Chinese Confucianism have impacted the modernization of East Asia, especially in Korea. It also analyzes how such principles are exercised at personal, interpersonal and organizational levels. As modernization unfolds in East Asia, there is a rising interest in tradition of Confucianism and reconsider the relevance of Confucianism to global development. This book considers the actual historical significance of Confucianism in the modernization of the three nations in this region, China, Korea, and Japan through the nineteenth century and early twentieth century to the aftermath of the end of World War II. Examining the existing literature dealing with how Confucianism has been viewed in connection with modernization, it provides insight into western attitudes towards Confucianism and the changes in perceptions relative to Asia in the very process of modernization itself.
