Institute for Graduate Studies in Social Sciences, 2023., 2023) Üçışık, Fatma Zülal.; Eroğlu, Zeyneb Hale.; Hong, Hyun Woong.The American foreign missionary movement began in 1810 with the establishment of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM). This voluntary organization oversaw American missionary activity in foreign countries. American missionaries traveled to various countries such as India, Hawaii, Burma, Africa, China, Japan, the Middle East, and Korea.

This thesis explores the significant role of American missionaries in women's education in the Ottoman Empire and Korea during the nineteent and early twentieth centuries. This research highlights the similarities and differences in their impact on the social, cultural, and political landscapes of the Ottoman Empire and Korea by offering a comparative analysis of their educational efforts. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions supervised the missionary activity in foreign lands, and the American missionaries’ established educational institutions wherever they went. Their focus on mass education and teaching the Bible in native languages played a significant role in developing women's education in both regions.

As a result, American missionary schools for women and their graduates played a vital role in the contemporary education system and made significant contributions to women's education. This study compares the impact of missionary activities on women's education in the Ottoman Empire and Korea. Through a comparative analysis, it aims to identify the similarities and differences in the influence of American missionary women's education on these two regions.Item The origin of South Korean public diplomacy : Kim Dae-jung government and its relations with Japan(Thesis (M.A.) - Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Social Sciences, 2023., 2023) Pektaş Kım, Melis.; Öztürkmen, Arzu, 1965- .; Hong, Hyun Woong.On August 15, 1945, the Japanese rule in the Korean Peninsula came to an end, and then Korea was liberated. Five years later, however, the Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950. South and North Koreans were tremendously impacted by the Korean War and Japanese colonialism. Especially, “assimilation policies” implemented by the Japanese government in the 1930s and 1940s damaged the consciousness of national and cultural identities among the people. Therefore, since the liberation, Korean governments prioritized the reconsolidating of national identities and pride among the people with anti-Japanese sentiment. In the post-colonial environment, Korean governments mostly benefited from the concept of “culture” to reconstruct the national and cultural consciousness of Koreans. However, culture would become an industry in Korea because democracy was ensured in South Korea, the struggles against the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis began and the country's administrators realized the importance of globalization. Thus, the Kim Dae- Jung period government further developed the Korean cultural industry, and this situation created the foundations of Korean public diplomacy. Within this context, to explain the emergence of Korean public diplomacy, the research will focus on the change of cultural policies in the Korean peninsula from the past to the present. Finally, the paper will also discuss the first attempts of the Kim Dae-Jung government to implement public diplomacy in Korea-Japan bilateral relations. The aim is to maintain the historical bond between the two countries and make it clearer that the foundation of Korean public diplomacy was first laid by Kim Dae-Jung.
