Orientalizing the Pacific Rim: the production of exotic knowledge by AMerican missionaries and sociologists in the 1920s

Article Abstract:

The results of Young Men's Christian Assn's (YMCA) Survey of Race Relations on the Pacific Coast of the US set the scholarly discourse that defined the American institutions of 'Orientalism' in the 1920s. The findings of YMCA's missionaries and social scientists established how physically and culturally distant the 'Orientals' are from the West. This scholarly work of YMCA branded the identity of Asians as perceived by the American academia and had manifested effects until the 20th century.

An odd relationship: the State Department, its representatives, and American Protestant missionaries in Korea, 1882-1905

Article Abstract:

The activities of American Protestant missionaries, and State Department's indifference, in Korea during the late nineteenth century are examined. The author maintains that Korea was far too poor a country to be of significance for the United States, but missionaries established themselves there, and at times created political problems between the State Department and Korea.

Systemic lock: The institutionalization of history in post-1965 South Korea-Japan relations

Article Abstract:

Korean and Japanese representatives unintentionally created a systemic lock in bilateral relations when, upon negotiating the 1965 treaty and accompanying agreements, they acquiesced to an ambiguous settlement of the colonial legacy. The systemic lock is a set of long-term structural and behavioral regularities governing Republic of Korea-Japan relations since 1965.
