Monsieur Nam-Kook Kim, professeur à Korea University invité au Cadis, fera une conférence en anglais dans le cadre d'un séminaire exceptionnel du Cadis"Europe and East Asia: Holistic Convergence or Fundamental Skepticism?"Le vendredi 25 janvier de 10h à 12hSalle 640-641 6ème étage Noyau ALe France 190-198 avenue de France 75013 ParisRésumé :"This lecture traces the possibility of East Asian integration through comparison with the early stage of European integration on three different levels: ideas, national interests, and international circumstance. Judging from the European experience, ideas always come first, then national interest contests, and eventually the international circumstance conditions the context. My conclusion for the future of East Asia is located somewhere between views of procedural divergence and fundamental skepticism. I worry about integration for the sake of integration in which regional integration is presupposed as inherently good. Such discourse will easily be deteriorated and such a blind community simply collapses when circumstances change. For these reasons, there needs to be an adequate discussion regarding for what, by whom, and through which method integration is achieved. East Asian community is usually approached from economic or security perspectives, but there is almost no discussion on social perspective. As an alternative route, I consider the emergence of new cross national network along multicultural challenges and imagine new East Asian community that shares the value of individual dignity within multicultural diversity. Multicultural challenges have lowered the wall of traditional nation states in East Asia and bridged a gap between locality and universality where social majority and minority can eventually achieve both individual rights and civic responsibility."&#160;Source : Centre de recherches sur la Corée, UMR 8173 “Chine, Corée, Japon” CNRS-EHESS&#160;&#160;
