Current Trends and Problems of Korean Studies

In order to better understand Korean Studies as a field of area studies and improve strategies to promote it; three questions need to be answered:
[a] What is area studies, and how does it relate to Korean Studies?
[b] How is Korean Studies progressing as an academic interest in other countries?
[c] Which challenges face the development of Korean Studies?

Area studies is the integrated, interdisciplinary, comparative research and teaching of a particular geographical or cultural region. Korean Studies is a potential catalyst to create wider knowledge of Korea abroad, and to strengthen mutual understanding and ties between Korea and the world.

Not only inside but also outside Korea; Korean Studies programs lack strong and professional financial support, and are not well organized in terms of research and teaching infrastructure. These factors are further complicated by an absence of Korea's obvious national image, or identity to attract students to the field of Korean Studies.

There is a resistance, among the separate humanities and social science disciplines, to accept a scholarly practice of Korean Studies as a valid and independent method of study. For these reasons, Korean Studies has been struggling to restore its academic solidarity.

Whether or not Korean Studies overcomes the obstacles it faces, will directly affect how Korean culture is understood and appreciated by future generations. If Korean Studies cannot reach a pivotal point intellectually, institutionally, and financially, then Korea, as a nation, risks becoming marginalized in the eyes of the world.
