South Korean Democracy Storytelling Debate - Transitional Justice in the Korean Peninsula & Global Democracy

  • 2021-07-20

As part of the Korean Democracy Storytelling Project run by the East Asia Institute (EAI), a research team led by Professor Hun Joon Kim of Korea University invited an expert from a non-profit human rights organization to hold a closed meeting on “Transitional Justice in the Korean Peninsula and Global Democracy” on July 20. This project, supported by the National Democratic Institute (NDI), will conduct research under the theme of “South Korea’s Democratic Resilience.” Four research teams will publish issue briefings based on the online meetings and roundtable talks held in June, July, and August.
