[KS] Korea Journal special issue - Anticommunism in South Korea

[Henry Em]

Dear colleagues,

*Korea Journal* is pleased to announce the publication of a special issue,
“Anticommunism, the National Security Law, and Thought Control in South
Korea.”



In Cold War United States and Western Europe, anticommunism generally
served as a component of liberal democracy. In South Korea, however, from
its inception in 1948, anticommunism has functioned as a de facto state
ideology and has come to assume a quasi-religious, supra-constitutional
norm. In the introduction, Kim Dong-Choon argues that the sacralization of
anticommunism has acted as a form of cultural violence, compelling all
Koreans to internally verify and externally profess their anticommunist
credentials.



Korea Journal, established in 1961, supports gold open access. All articles
are published under a CC-BY-ND license and may be freely distributed with
proper attribution, provided the work is not modified. You can click the
