Anyone who knows any material/resource on ROK's ODA to the Philippines?
I'm currently doing a research on KOICA grants in the Philippines and would
later want to expand this study to other Korean loan projects. Any referrals
to relevant materials would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

> Abstract:
> In contrast to the Koryo dynasty, which fostered multiple religious
> traditions, the Choson dynasty is typically characterized as the darkest of
> ages for Korean shamanism. With the rise of Neo-Confucianism, Choson's
> scholar-officials suppressed shamanism and attempted to Confucianize
> shamanic rituals. Records show, however, that shamanism continued to be
> practiced by various groups of people throughout the Choson period,
> including members of the royal family and some scholar-officials. While most
> scholars have traced this tenacity of shamanism to religious or ideological
> reasons, such explanations overlook the importance of social, economic, and
> political structures that facilitated its popularity. This paper examines a
> particular historical event concerning the central government's
> administration of shamanic practices in a distant locality - magistrate Yi
> Hyongsang's destruction of 129 shamanic shrines on Cheju island in 1702 -
> paying close attention to the economic and political forces at play.
