日本學生運動의 고찰 = A Study on Japanese Student Movement

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Japan has as long history of student movement as Korea. It began after World War Ⅱ and had lasted until early 1970. But one of the critical differences in the movement between the two nations is the fact that the Japanese movement had ended at last whereas the Korean continues until now. How do the Japanese movement differ from the Korean? The is one of the major questions to be answered in the present study.
The study is based on the analysis of documents including research reports. The results of the study are divided into two sections. The first section deals with the historical analysis of the Japanese movement. It analyzed the hist orical background of the movement, the diffusion of the movement, and focused on the activities of the one of the largest student movement organizations, Zengakuren(The Japanese National Student Association). The second section is concerned with the identification of sociopsychological characteristics of the Japanese movement leaders and with comparison of the results to the Korean movement leaders.
It was found that the physical characteristics of Japanese movement such as it's organization, activity, diffusion are very similar to Korean one.
One apparent difference between two nations is the objective of the movements. The Korean purported downfalls of the regimes while Japanese fought for specific political issues such as U.S.-Japan Treaty, Anti nuclear war but not for termination of the regime.
The analysis of the student movement leader showed that socio economic status of Japanese student leader are higher than that of korean leader but neither Japanese leader nor Korean leader received political or social influences from their parents. Upon the graduation, all Japanese leader took jobs but the Koreans did not. They were, allegedly, rejected jobs. The author assumes that the provision of jobs for Japanese movement leader contributes to the disappearance of the student revolt.
