  Conservative Right-wing Shift of Japan’s Abe Administration: Focusing on the Linkage between the Abe Administration and Japan’s Civic Groups | JIN Chang Soo

The purpose of this study is to explain the reality of Japan’s conservative right-wing shift and present the direction of improvement in Korea-Japan relations. It is critical to accurately understand the reality of Japan in order to resolve the strained relations between South Korea and Japan. I hope that this study will aid in the improvement of Korea-Japan relations at this time when the future of relationship between the two countries is bleak.

  China-DPRK Relations and the U.S.-China Relations: A Review on “China Variable” in North Korean Affairs | LEE Seong-hyon

This paper, instead of returning to the past so-called “China role theory” (i.e., it takes China to resolve the North Korean issue) in the current deadlock, points out the “limitations” of China’s role, on the contrary, by closely scrunitizing China’s behaviors on North Korea during the process of denuclearization negotiation between the U.S. and North Korea under the Trump administration.
