When the U.S.-Korea military alliance began to deteriorate in the 2000s, many commentators blamed "anti-Americanism" and nationalism, especially among younger South Koreans. Challenging these assumptions, this book argues that Korean activism around U.S. relations owes more to transformations in domestic politics, including the decentralization of government, the diversification and politics of civil society organizations, and the transnationalization of social movements.

In December 2002, South Koreans elected Roh Moo-hyun, a little-known, selfeducated lawyer, as their president. The left-of-center Roh narrowly defeated the conservative candidate, Lee Hoi Chang. Roh ran on a platform of reform, pledging to make South Korean politics more transparent and accountable, to make the economy more equitable, and to make South Korea a more equal partner in its alliance with the United States. During the campaign, Roh pledged to continue his predecessor, Kim Dae Jung's, "sunshine policy" of engaging North Korea, and harshly criticized the Bush Administration's approach to Pyongyang. The 2002 election was notable for several inter-related reasons. First, it exposed the deep generational divide among South Koreans. Roh was favored by voters under the age of 45, who emerged during the election as an anti-status quo force. In contrast, Lee easily won the votes of those over 45. Second, Roh's victory was due in part to his criticisms of the United States, and he benefitted from the massive demonstrations in late 2002 protesting the acquittal of two U.S. servicemen who were operating a military vehicle when it killed two Korean schoolgirls. Third, the election and the anti-American demonstrations highlighted the growing influence and sophistication of Korean civil society groups, which now have a significant voice in determining policy outcomes in Seoul. These shifts in the South Korean polity, particularly the rise in antiAmericanism, confront the Bush Administration with a policy dilemma: how to manage the U.S.-ROK alliance while pursuing a more confrontational approach toward North Korea than that favored by many, if not most, South Koreans. Institutionally, the South Korean presidency has few checks on its power. While the unicameral National Assembly's influence has been slowly rising since South Korea became a democracy in 1987, it is hampered by formal and informal limitations on its power. The National Assembly is controlled by the opposition, right-of-center Grand National Party (GNP). The second-largest grouping is President Roh's party, the Millennium Democratic Party (MDP). Both major parties are under significant internal stress, and there is speculation that they will split and be reconstituted before the next quadrennial legislative election, to be held in April 2004. This report will be updated periodically.

Korea, 2002. The capital is the scene of huge anti-American protests, the U.S. flag torn to shreds, an American taken hostage and forced to make a propaganda statement, and cyber-attacks on the United States. Pyongyang? No--Seoul, capital of U.S. ally South Korea Americans think of South Korea as one of the most pro-American of countries, but in fact many Koreans hold harsh and conspiratorial views of the United States. If not, why did a single U.S. military traffic accident in 2002 cause hundreds of thousands of Koreans to take to the streets for weeks, shredding and burning American flags, cursing the United States, and harassing Americans? Why, too, the death threats against American athlete Apolo Ohno and massive cyberattacks against the United States for a sports call made at the Utah Winter Olympics by an Australian referee? These are just two of the incidents detailed in David Straub's book, the story of an explosion of anti-Americanism in South Korea from 1999 to 2002. Straub, a Korean- speaking senior American diplomat in Seoul at the time, reviews the complicated history of the United States' relationship with Korea and offers case studies of Korean anti-American incidents during the period that make clear why the outburst occurred, how close it came to undermining the United States' alliance with Korea, and whether it could happen again. "Anti-Americanism in Democratizing South Korea" is recommended reading for officials, military personnel, scholars, students, and business people interested in anti-Americanism, U.S.-Korean relations, and U.S. foreign policy and military alliances.

The goal of this thesis is to identify the causes of increasing anti-Americanism in South Korea. To accomplish this, three areas will be researched. First, the transformation from an authoritarian regime to a democratic government in the 1990s has provided previously unheard of democratic freedom in South Korean society. Second, the perception of inequality in the Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) and the civilian crimes committed by U.S. military personnel, since the Korean War have fueled anti- American sentiments. Lastly, the increase in anti-Americanism throughout the world since the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the declaration of North Korea as one of the "Axis of Evil" by the United States have influenced anti-Americanism in South Korea. This thesis will evaluate the role of these three independent variables in the increasing anti- Americanism in South Korea.

This study focuses on frictions between the U.S. and ROK; it seeks to identify primary causes for anti-American sentiment. This study discusses the rise of Korean nationalism -- its dynamic economic growth, the successful 1988 Summer Olympics, and the continuous democratization in Korea. As a result of this growth, Koreans desire equal partnership with the U.S. in economic, political and military relations. They resent U.S. economic pressures for access to Korean markets. This study also analyzes the vulnerability of the Korean economy, the threat from North Korea, challenges of domestic political situations, and the role of students in Korean politics. The study concludes that the U.S. must be sensitive to the changes in South Korea in order to continue harmonious relations. Both English and Korean language sources have provided documentary support for this study. (EDC).

This study offers a rhetorical analysis of the 2002 South Korean Candlelight Vigils [ch'otpul siwi] with a focus on the role of the Internet in public opinion building, the rise in anti-American sentiment in South Korea, and rhetorical agency residing in the collective. In 2002, two South Korean schoolgirls walking along a rural road near Seoul were hit and killed by a U.S. military vehicle. The country's Internet users (called "netizens") belatedly learned of the incident and mobilized themselves for nation-wide candlelight vigils that were held nightly during the winter of 2002-2003. The vigils not only commemorated the deaths but also protested the U.S. military presence in the country, which netizens viewed as the fundamental cause of the tragic incident. In December 2002 Presidential election, the vigils further contributed to the election of the liberal candidate, Roh Moohyun. By analyzing online postings before and during the 2002 vigils and interviewing vigil participants in 2006, I examine how a seemingly depoliticized Korean younger generation produced a critique of Cold War politics remaining in South Korea and developed a distinct generational and political identity. I study arguments, styles, and underlying national imaginaries of relevant Internet discourse. The chapters in this study are organized chronologically. In the aftermath of the deadly incident in June 2002, South Korean Internet users constructed the girls' deaths as a "national tragedy" by situating it in the historical narrative of the U.S. presence in Korea, and created a collective identity of netizens by circulating affective responses to this tragic event. Based on this nascent collective identity, netizens became involved with the Presidential election in December 2002, transferring their newfound political agency at the vigils into participation within the dominant political realm. The final chapter presents personal and political reinterpretations of the vigils by vigils participants and observers as they looked back on their experiences in 2006. In this study, I demonstrate that rhetorical criticism provides a useful tool for understanding national imaginary in the context of contemporary netizens collectively shaping and reshaping it. I also argue that the candlelight vigils warrant scholarly attention about the role of "non-rational" rhetoric in civic discourses and collective performances through which group identity and agency take shape.
