This paper investigates the changing role of the nation-state in the context of the broader social structure of society amid neoliberal globalization with a focus on the politics of the Korean Wave. It analyzes the ways in which the Korean government has developed its unique cultural policy and how it has contributed to the growth in Korean cultural production and export. The paper argues that neoliberal ideologies have not completely altered the role of the nation-state in the Korean Wave in spite of the dominance of neoliberal ideology in Korea’s economic conduct.
新自由主義改革環境下民族國家的力量:新韓流中變幻的文化政治
本文探討了民族國家在新自由主義全球化下的新社會結構中的角色轉變,尤其是在韓流政治中的體現。本文分析了韓國政府如何發展其獨特的文化政策,及這些政策對促進韓國文化產品的生產和出口的作用。本文認為,雖然新自由主義意識形態主宰了韓國的經濟行為,卻並沒有完全改變民族國家在韓流中的作用。
