Hierarchical Citizenship in Perspective: South Korea’s Korean Chinese
박우 서울대학교 사회발전연구소 2017 Journal of Asian Sociology Vol.46 No.3
This article analyzes the regulations governing citizenship status for immigrants in South Korea under globalization. It focuses on the Joseonjok (Korean Chinese), a group who live in Korea under a hierarchy of three different citizenship statuses: “the Special Status of Overseas Korean (jaeoedongpo)”, the “Foreign Korean Worker (dongponodongja)” status, and the “Foreign Worker (oeguginnodongja)” status. It examines the logic behind these statuses’ creation, development and the different socio-economic rights they grant. The paper shows how citizenship policies for immigrants (or foreign workers) have changed in line with the neoliberal transformation brought about by South Korea’s economic globalization: the original nationalistic basis of the country’s policies towards overseas ethnic Koreans has been adapted and subordinated to practical industrial and economic needs, and the hierarchy of citizenship statuses for Joseonjok is a concrete reflection of this complex economistic process.
JOONKOO LEE 서울대학교 사회발전연구소 2021 Journal of Asian Sociology Vol.50 No.1
This article examines regional cultural flow from a global value chain (GVC) perspective, focusing on South Korea’s engagement in cultural flow in East Asia. The article argues that the regional flow of cultural and media content has been complicated as a result of the growing fragmentation of value chain activities and rising emphasis on localization. It allows for varieties of corporate strategic options for regional engagement beyond the traditional mode of exporting finished products. This article presents an analytic framework to examine such varieties, based on the GVC approach. Three emerging modes of regional cultural flow that depart from the export model-the new international division of cultural labor, format trade and international coproduction-are illustrated with the examples of Korean firms’ engagement in regional cultural flow, mainly with China. The implications of the framework and the case illustrations are discussed in relation to regional cultural flow in East Asia.
Worker Militancy at the Margins: Struggles of Non-regular Workers in South Korea
이병훈 서울대학교 사회발전연구소 2016 Journal of Asian Sociology Vol.45 No.1
This study explores the commonality and variation of non-regular workers’ struggles in Korea by drawing upon 30 major dispute cases which have taken place since 2000. The common features of those struggles are characterized as defensive claim-making, employer’s determined union-busting, protracted struggle outside workplace, transgressive protest repertoire, reliance on external solidarity, third actors’ mediation, dispute recurrence and union’s organizational instability, and protest against large firms. At the same time, the non-regular workers’ struggle shows a great deal of variation in outcomes (i.e. bargaining gains and union membership) and key attributes (i.e. repertoire, duration, timing) of those struggles. The different outcomes of the struggles are closely correlated with the attitude of regular workers unions as well as the extent of external solidarity toward non-regular workers’ struggles, with some contingencies (i.e. public meaning of the struggle, the content and timing of related legal decision by the government or the court, the industry union’s involvement, and claimants’ self-sacrificing protest) creating outliers from this patterned relationship. The outcome of non-regular workers’ struggles is also correlated with their repertoire and duration in a polarizing form like the spirals of moderatization (better outcome – low-risk repertoire – shorter duration) and extremization (worse outcome – high-risk repertoire – longer duration).
