"Synopsis:"Intimate Empire is a pioneering study of the Japanese (and Korean) language cultural productions by ethnic Koreans from the empire's expansionist era during the Asia-Pacific war. Nayoung Aimee Kwon's intervention enables us to rethink the spaces of complex resistance, vexed co-optation and accommodating governmentalities opened up by these texts that trouble the received notions of ethnonational boundaries between postcolonial Korea and postimperial Japan. Staking out thought-provoking problematics and excavating new materials, analyzed by Kwon with exceptional care, nuance, and theoretical sophistication, Intimate Empire is a major step forward in transnational Asian studies." -- Jin-kyung Lee, author of Service Economies: Militarism, Sex Work, and Migrant Labor in South Korea "Nayoung Aimee Kwon's Intimate Empire is a breakthrough in Korean and Japanese Studies. The book has a dual focus: one is the contested colonial encounter between Korean and Japanese intellectuals in the Japanese Empire; the other is postcolonial power in which minority intellectuals work in the United States. Clearly it is an innovative type of comparative study of imperialisms both past and present." -- Naoki Sakai, author of Translation and Subjectivity: On 'Japan' and Cultural Nationalism "Impressively researched and brilliantly crafted, this is a landmark study of cultural production under Japanese colonialism that is sure to create many big waves across Korean and Japanese studies and which should be read by everyone with an interest in the antinomies and conundrums of colonial modernity throughout the world. Eschewing the conventional nationalist binary of 'collaboration' versus 'resistance,' Nayoung Aimee Kwon introduces the third term of 'intimacy,' and shows that an effective postcolonial critique must interrogate this disavowed and unspeakable zone." -- Takashi Fujitani, author of Race for Empire: Koreans as Japanese and Japanese as Americans during World War II "Besides many compelling analyses and arguments made in Intimate Empire, plentiful visual materials provide us a fascinating glimpse into the cultural fields in the empire... it is a great contribution to the scholarship on colonial culture and imperialism for its exemplary handling of archives and its succinct arguments made based on comparative readings of texts. It is an essential text for researchers of colonial literature, transcultural colonial exchange, cultural fields in wartime Japan, and translation." -- Jooyeon Rhee Acta Koreana "Intimate Empire is a most welcome addition to transcultural scholarship on East Asian literatures and cultures and sets an excellent example for future research on imperialism in East Asia and well beyond." -- Karen Thornber Pacific Affairs "Intimate Empire establishes critical questions for historians to ponder, beginning with: Who writes the empire? How does the language they use matter? Kwon has demonstrated many pathways into, as well as offered new and alternate routes for, future discovery." -- Alexis Dudden American Historical Revie"

"Tesis ini membahas mengenai kebijakan luar negeri Jepang terhadap isu nuklir Korea Utara. Permasalahan yang dibahas dalam penelitian ini adalah kebijakan luar negeri yang dijalankan Jepang dalam menghadapi isu nuklir Korea Utara untuk mencapai kepentingan strategis jangka pendek dan jangka panjangnya. Penelitian ini adalah penelitian kualitatif dengan desain deskriptif dan menggunakan teknik pengumpulan data studi kepustakaan. Kebijakan-kebijakan luar negeri Jepang terhadap Korea Utara dideskripsikan kemudian dianalisa dengan metode deskriptif, yaitu mendeskripsikan data secara sistematis dan akurat sehingga menghasilkan kesimpulan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui motivasi Jepang dalam menciptakan dan menjalankan kebijakan luar negeri terhadap Korea Utara, serta kepentingan nasional apa yang mendasari kebijakan luar negeri Jepang. Teori yang mendasari penelitian ini adalah teori diplomasi, kebijakan luar negeri, dan keamanan (security). Keamanan dilakukan karena adanya ancaman. Persepi akan ancaman menimbulkan perasaan tidak aman (insecurity). Menurut Daniel S Pap persepi dibangun dan komponen nilai, keyakinan, dan pengamatan. Setelah dilakukan analisis metode deskriptif diketahui bahwa Jepang menjalankan diplomasi dialog, tekanan, dan diplomasi ekonomi terhadap isu nuklir Korea Utara. Diplomasi dialog dijalankan dengan dialog bilateral dan multilateral yang saling melengkapi, diplomasi tekanan dengan pemberian sanksi, dan diplomasi ekonomi dengan pemberian bantuan luar negeri kepada Korea Utara. Motivasi Jepang dalam menjalankan kebijakan luar negeri tersebut adalah karena merasa keamanannya terancam, agar dapat melakukan dialog dengan Korea Utara mengcnai isu nuklir; yang merupakan kepentingan strategis jangka pendek, dan dapat mengusahakan normalisasi hubungannya dengan Korea Utara; yang merupakan kepentingan strategis jangka panjang. Kepentingan nasional yang ingin dicapai Jepang adalah tercapainya resolusi isu penculikan dan terbebas dari ancaman nuklir. Implikasi kebijakan luar negeri yang dijalankan Jepang dinilai kurang efektif karena Jepang rnenuntut pembahasan isu penculikan dan Korea Utara tetap bertahan dengan sikap tidak konsisten serta tidak terpengaruh tekanan dari Jepang.

The focus in this thesis is Japan?s foreign policies toward North Korea nuclear issue. Problems discussed hereby are foreign policies applied by Japan in facing North Korea`s nuclear issue to gain both strategic short and long term interests. This research is in a qualitative form with descriptive design and library-study data-collecting technique. Japan's foreign policies toward North Korea are described and then analyzed with descriptive method; which describes data systematic and accurately to result in conclusion.

The purpose of this research is to find out Japan's motivation in creating and applying foreign policies toward North Korea, and also other national interests which base those of Japan?s foreign policies. This research is based upon diplomacy, foreign policy and security theories. Security is applied because of existing threat, whilst the perception of threat causes insecurity feeling. According to Daniel S. Pap; perception is built from components of values, beliefs, and cognition.

After conducting the analysis with descriptive method, it is discovered that Japan has been running all three kinds of dialogue, pressure and economic diplomacies towards North Korea?s nuclear issue. Dialogue diplomacy is done with both completing bilateral and multilateral dialogues, pressure diplomacy is done by giving sanctions, and economic diplomacy is carried out with foreign aid grants to North Korea.

Japan's motivation in conducting such foreign policy is based on the nature of its alerted sectuity threat, as to be able to open the dialogue with North Korea about the nuclear issue; which was Japan?s strategic short term interest. Such motivation also provides a probable step to the effort of Japan-North Korea's relations non-nalization; which is Japan?s long term interest.

Japan's national interest in this scheme is to obtain a resolution of abduction issues and to be freed of nuclear threat. There is a nuisance of ineffectiveness in Japan?s foreign policy implications; because the country strongly demands to discuss thoroughly on abduction issues while North Korea remains in its inconsistency as if North Korea has never been afflicted by any pressure put by Japan."
