The second volume of ChiMoKoJa — Histories of China, Mongolia, Korea and Japan again provides different perspectives on East Asian History. While Jang Hoon Kim and Klaus Hentschel present the history of Chum-Sung-Dae, an ancient Korean stone masonry tower Yongbok Yi analyzes textbook development in the Gomang College of Drepung Monastery in Tibet in the period between the 15th and 17th centuries.
Choo Chin Low discusses the efforts of both the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan to establish statehood legitimacy. He examines in detail the tools that are used in this process: citizenship and its construction in the post-détente era. Last but not least, Bruce E. Bechtol, Jr. discusses the current role of North Korea in creating an international security dilemma. The relationship between Pyongyang and Tehran seems to be dangerous and Bechtol consequently describes a global order of insecurity as it is created by North Korean ambitions and their stimulation by foreign interests.
ChiMoKoJa is a biannual and peer reviewed academic journal. Its editor, Frank Jacob, is Assistant Professor of World History at CUNY’s Queensborough Community College.
