Dear list members,

We are delighted to announce the publication of the Summer 2015 issue (vol.
55, no. 2) of the *Korea Journal.*

The year 2015 marks multiple historical anniversaries for both the Korean
peninsula and the world. Often dubbed the most atrocious and devastating
war in the history of humankind, World War II ended 70 years ago. Efforts
for world peace in lieu of the establishment of the United Nations see a
70th anniversary this coming October. This year, Korea also celebrates its
70th year since liberation from the Japanese Empire. Coincidentally, 50
years have passed since South Korea and Japan established a normalized
diplomatic relations. On a grimmer note, we now observe 70 years of
separation between the two Koreas.



Marking this historical year, the Korea Journal wishes to revisit the ways
modern Korean history has been composed and debated. Professor Choi, the
Korea Journal’s co-editor for social sciences, in his Editorial Statement
for this issue, calls for the combined synergy of Korea-born theories and
Western theories in deepening understanding of Korea. As a way to bridge
local and global discourses and build a forum for both domestic and
international scholars, the Editorial Team has selected six articles that
together address the bigger question of constructing Korean history from
both inside and outside Korea. These articles each merit attention and
contribute to their respective sub-fields.



The articles do not directly address the issue of combining Korean and
Western theories, but the Editorial Team believes they pave the way for
such cooperation to emerge from the field of Korean Studies, which will not
only enhance our knowledge of Korean society but also provide a valuable
analytical tool for understanding the wider context. Given the questionable
feasibility on an institutional level, including current barriers within
Korean academia, however, strategic efforts are required to realize this
aspiration, as debated in the book reviews and author interview pub­lished
in this issue.



Many occasions for dialogue have been initiated this year between
historians around the world, and we cherish these concerted efforts to
prevent the repetition of mass casualties and are reminded to be cogni­zant
of the lessons emerging from these events in history. The Editorial Team
hopes to contribute to these dialogues through the articles present­ed in
this issue of the *Korea Journal*.
