Book Synopsis Korea's New Act by : Graham Greenleaf
Download or read book Korea's New Act written by Graham Greenleaf and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Korea's new Personal Information Protection Act came into force on 30 September 2011. A six month grace period in which the Act was not strictly enforced ended on 31 March 2012. Business commentators describe the Act as the 'strictest in the world', as the Asian law to which most attention should be paid, and as a law likely to be enforced. This brief article explains why. The new Act replaces the existing Public Agency Data Protection Act in whole and in relation to the private sector it replaces in part the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. That Act will continue to provide additional privacy and other obligations on information and communications service providers (ICSPs). Korea's previous legislation had considerable limitations. In the private sector, its scope was limited to businesses utilising telecommunications services, although it was actively enforced by a novel mediation structure that is being continued under the new legislation. The public sector legislation, administered by Ministry of Public Administration and Safety (MOPAS), covered all public agencies, and included most basic OECD principles, but with few limits on excessive data collection by governments. However, there seems to have been minimal enforcement. The new Act is therefore a comprehensive Act for the first time, because it covers both public and private sectors, and the whole of the private sector. More than 3.5 million public entities and private businesses are now regulated by common criteria and principles, and common enforcement mechanisms. It added many new features to existing strong foundations. The article identifies seventeen ways in which this Act's Principles exceed the OECD/APEC standards, including: an independent fifteen member Data Protection Commission (a departure from the Ministry-based enforcement of civil law neighbours Japan and Taiwan); Privacy Compliance Officers required for most businesses and agencies; collective meditation for disputes with widespread small damage; mandatory data breach notification to both affected individuals and to authorities where significant; mandatory Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) for potentially dangerous public sector systems; and explicit (opt-in) consent required for marketing using a company's own databases. The new Act establishes a complex administrative and enforcement structure which involves five parties: (i) The Data Protection Commission (DPC); (ii) The Korea Internet & Security Agency (KISA) and its Personal Data Protection Center (PDPC); (iii) The Personal Information Dispute Mediation Committees (Pico); (iv) The Ministry of Public Administration and Security (MOPAS); and (v) The Korea Communications Commission (KCC). Korea has developed a system unique in the Asia-Pacific of two independent bodies, one for complaint resolution (Pico), serviced by a government agency (KISA/PPDC) and the other (the DPC) for 'policy matters' (with its own internal secretariat).
Book Synopsis South Korea’s New Southern Policy by : Lam Peng Er
Download or read book South Korea’s New Southern Policy written by Lam Peng Er and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-17 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the first regional strategy of South Korea toward Southeast Asia and India. At issue is how a middle power (a G20 country with the tenth largest economy in the world) seeks to play a larger and more comprehensive role in regions beyond the Korean peninsula. Hitherto, South Korean foreign policy has focused on nuclearizing North Korea, alliance maintenance with the United States, tricky relations with its most important economic partner China, and difficult ties with Japan marred by historical and territorial disputes. The Moon Administration has sought to diversify South Korean foreign policy by elevating ASEAN and India to the same strategic level as the United States, China, Russia, and Japan. To be sure, the latter countries continue to be most significant to the Korean peninsula. However, this book offers different country and regional perspectives on Seoul’s first regional grand strategy to play a role commensurate with its status as a middle power.

Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE SAMUEL ELIOT MORISON AWARD FOR NAVAL LITERATURE “I devoured Act of War the way I did Flyboys, Flags of Our Fathers and Lost in Shangri-la.”—Michael Connelly, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author In 1968, the small, dilapidated American spy ship USS Pueblo set out to pinpoint military radar stations along the coast of North Korea. Though packed with advanced electronic-surveillance equipment and classified intelligence documents, its crew, led by ex–submarine officer Pete Bucher, was made up mostly of untested young sailors. On a frigid January morning, the Pueblo was challenged by a North Korean gunboat. When Bucher tried to escape, his ship was quickly surrounded by more boats, shelled and machine-gunned, forced to surrender, and taken prisoner. Less than forty-eight hours before the Pueblo’s capture, North Korean commandos had nearly succeeded in assassinating South Korea’s president. The two explosive incidents pushed Cold War tensions toward a flashpoint. Based on extensive interviews and numerous government documents released through the Freedom of Information Act, Act of War tells the riveting saga of Bucher and his men as they struggled to survive merciless torture and horrendous living conditions set against the backdrop of an international powder keg.
Book Synopsis Transnational Return Migration of 1.5 Generation Korean New Zealanders by : Jane Yeonjae Lee
Download or read book Transnational Return Migration of 1.5 Generation Korean New Zealanders written by Jane Yeonjae Lee and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2018-06-04 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do immigrants return home? Is return migration a failure or a success? How do returnees settle back into their original homeland while retaining their connections to their host society? How do returnees contribute to their homeland with their skills gained from overseas? Transnational Return Migration of 1.5 Generation Korean New Zealanders: A Quest for Home seeks to answer these complex questions surrounding return migration through a case study of the 1.5 generation Korean New Zealander returnees. Jane Lee questions and unpacks the very meaning of “home” and “return” through the personal and intimate stories that are shared by the Korean New Zealander returnees. This book tells a compelling story of the strong desire contemporary transnational migrants feel to belong to one particular identity group. In addition, the author highlights the realities and disconnections of transnationalism as the returnees’ transnational activities and experiences change over time and space.

Book excerpt: From the internationally bestselling author of The Vegetarian, a “rare and astonishing” (The Observer) portrait of political unrest and the universal struggle for justice. “Compulsively readable, universally relevant, and deeply resonant . . . in equal parts beautiful and urgent.”—The New York Times Book Review Shortlisted for the International Dublin Literary Award • One of the Best Books of the Year: The Atlantic, San Francisco Chronicle, NPR, HuffPost, Medium, Library Journal Amid a violent student uprising in South Korea, a young boy named Dong-ho is shockingly killed. The story of this tragic episode unfolds in a sequence of interconnected chapters as the victims and the bereaved encounter suppression, denial, and the echoing agony of the massacre. From Dong-ho’s best friend who meets his own fateful end; to an editor struggling against censorship; to a prisoner and a factory worker, each suffering from traumatic memories; and to Dong-ho's own grief-stricken mother; and through their collective heartbreak and acts of hope is the tale of a brutalized people in search of a voice. An award-winning, controversial bestseller, Human Acts is a timeless, pointillist portrait of an historic event with reverberations still being felt today, by turns tracing the harsh reality of oppression and the resounding, extraordinary poetry of humanity.

Book Synopsis Youth for Nation by : Charles R. Kim
Download or read book Youth for Nation written by Charles R. Kim and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This in-depth exploration of culture, media, and protest follows South Korea’s transition from the Korean War to the start of the political struggles and socioeconomic transformations of the Park Chung Hee era. Although the post–Korean War years are commonly remembered as a time of crisis and disarray, Charles Kim contends that they also created a formative and productive juncture in which South Koreans reworked pre-1945 constructions of national identity to meet the political and cultural needs of postcolonial nation-building. He explores how state ideologues and mainstream intellectuals expanded their efforts by elevating the nation’s youth as the core protagonist of a newly independent Korea. By designating students and young men and women as the hope and exemplars of the new nation-state, the discursive stage was set for the remarkable outburst of the April Revolution in 1960. Kim’s interpretation of this seminal event underscores student participants’ recasting of anticolonial resistance memories into South Korea’s postcolonial politics. This pivotal innovation enabled protestors to circumvent the state’s official anticommunism and, in doing so, brought about the formation of a culture of protest that lay at the heart of the country’s democracy movement from the 1960s to the 1980s. The positioning of women as subordinates in the nation-building enterprise is also shown to be a direct translation of postwar and Cold War exigencies into the sphere of culture; this cultural conservatism went on to shape the terrain of gender relations in subsequent decades. A meticulously researched cultural history, Youth for Nation illuminates the historical significance of the postwar period through a rigorous analysis of magazines, films, textbooks, archival documents, and personal testimonies. In addition to scholars and students of twentieth-century Korea, the book will be welcomed by those interested in Cold War cultures, social movements, and democratization in East Asia.
