State-centric to Contested Social Governance in Korea
This book presents civil society's rise in Korea through in-depth analyses of today's most pressing issues, from the environment to human rights, from North Korean refugees to labour migration, all in the context of Korea's democratization.

State-centric to Contested Social Governance in Korea
In this interdisciplinary study of governance, Hyuk-Rae Kim traces how civil society and NGOs have evolved over time, how they differ in motivation from their Western counterparts, and the role civil society NGOs have played in consolidating democracy as the governance system in Korea changes from a state-centric to a contested one.

Value Politics in Japan and Europe
This book explains the increasing importance of value politics in Europe and Japan, shedding light on various arenas: social values; parties, elections and politics; public action, private sector and law; identity politics and religion; media and public spheres. It analyses how, against different but commensurable backgrounds, the rise of value politics alters (or not) the political game, for which purposes and with which effects. Applying both qualitative and quantitative methods from a wide range of primary and secondary sources, the comparison is organized by joining skills from experts of Japan and Europe and by systematizing a common analytical framework for the two cases. As such, it p...

Centering Global Citizenship Education in the Public Sphere

Specifically, it questions established notions of education and proposes new interpretations of the relationship between practi...

Le Japon dans le monde
Le Japon entretient avec la notion de puissance une relation complexe. Archipel, il inscrit dans sa Constitution de 1946 l'interdiction du maintien d'un potentiel de guerre, ce qui l'arrime durablement au camp occidental dont il a besoin pour assurer sa sécurité. Pourtant, la diplomatie japonaise a toujours réussi à jouir d'une relative autonomie, en partie grâce au miracle économique qu'a connu ce pays. Dès la fin du XIXe siècle en effet, le Japon fait le pari de la modernité jusqu'à devenir la deuxième puissance économique mondiale. Mais en ce début de XXIe siècle, alors qu'il dispose d'un capital sympathie unique au monde, par le biais de sa culture, les défis sont nombreux...
