- Abstract
- The purpose of this article is to study the characteristics and patterns of the field of
peace and conflict studies in South Korea by tracing its history. A reflection on peace
and conflict studies in Korea shows that the 1987 democratization was a critical
moment, and that the subsequent end of the global Cold War initiated the full-blown
development of the field. The Korean case shows that the advancement of peace and
conflict studies is linked to real-world changes. The recent inclusion of human rights
and transitional justice issues is meaningful since rights and justice were core but
unaddressed issues in Korea. It is time for peace and conflict studies in Korea to leap
forward, and this new attention to human rights and transitional justice can be a way
to lead this development.
