한국 다문화사회의 형성 요인과 통합 정책 = Integration of Korean Multicultural Society: Factors and Policy Directions

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Many countries that have relatively enjoyed homogeneous culture are nowadays facing challenges raised in multicultural societies. Those challenges are caused by the influx of heterogeneous cultures and various religions together with the migration of foreign workers due to the globalization of capital and labor. During the last thousands years, our society has constructed its identity and tradition based on the myth of the `single ethnicity.` But the myth is no longer becoming the basis for integrating and consolidating our society. Currently, the influx of migrant workers, foreign spouses, and saeteomins(new inhabitants from North Korea) is likely to increase conflicts among multicultures, that is, cultures between existing residents and minority groups. Nevertheless, there are not much literature which discuss multicultural socialization and civil rights of those groups. In this context, this research examines some factors shaping Korean multicultural society and their problems, and discusses policy directions. The acceptance of multiculturalism should newly shape national identity and restructure governmental policies.
