New online: Monica Jeong asks, why is South Korea's refugee policy so out of line with its humanitarian engagement diplomacy and its "middle power" status? Jeong finds the answer in a discourse analysis of identity construction. ⬇️ www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... #AcademicPublishing #AcademicSky
ABSTRACT
South Korea is a self-identified 'middle power,' aspiring to assume greater responsibilities, including the promotion of universal values and humanitarian diplomacy. Yet, it maintains one of the lowest refugee acceptance rates among OECD members. Existing research attributes this restrictiveness to ethnic nationalism, anti-refugee sentiment, and a refugee status determination (RSD) process shaped by an institutional ethos that prioritises law and order over refugee protection. This research shifts the focus from institutional and societal constraints to identity constructions.
Adopting a critical constructivist framework, it analyzes National Assembly debates and Ministry of Justice policy discourses between 2008 and 2024 to examine how South Korea's self-understanding as a middle power is constructed and negotiated through representations of refugees as 'others.' The analysis finds that although South Korea promotes humanitarian engagement, its middle power identity is continually negotiated through the way different refugee groups are constructed (i.e. as humanitarian subjects, security threats, reciprocal contributors, or fellow nationals) in relation to the national 'self.' Ultimately, this research argues that the coexistence of competing understandings of what it means to be a humanitarian middle power rather than a cohesive national narrative, is a significant factor underlying South Korea's continued restrictive refugee policies.

Reports indicate at least 100 children have already been killed in strikes on schools. That is unconscionable. Three U.S. service members are dead as a result of this entirely preventable war of choice. The blood of these service members, these children, and every civilian rests in Trump’s hands.

An Irish immigrant with a valid US work permit has been held in ICE detention in Texas for nearly five months despite having no criminal record, the Irish Times reports. Seamus Culleton, who has lived in the US for over 20 years, is married to a US citizen and was in the final stages of a green card application when he was arrested in September. He describes detention conditions akin to a “concentration camp,” limited access to outdoors, and constant hunger. A judge initially approved his release on bond, but the US government later blocked it. 

His lawyer says the case is highly unusual and reflects arbitrary enforcement by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. ICE did not respond with comment on the story at the time of publication.

More than 100 children have been killed in Gaza since the October ceasefire, UNICEF says, 60 boys and 40 girls. 

Speaking from Gaza, UNICEF spokesperson James Elder said children are still being killed by airstrikes, drones, tank shelling, and live fire, while others are dying from exposure as winter conditions worsen in tent camps.

“It’s bleak outside now,” 
@1james_elder
 said. “I wish I could take a camera and show you that 30, 40 kilometer winds ripping through tents on the beach. It’s bitterly cold. It’s bitterly wet.”
