The K-Factor: Korean-American Attitudes Toward and Impact on U.S.-Korea Policy
|
|
As immigrants, residents, and citizens, Koreans in the United States have always maintained strong connections to Korea. While the development of a strong Korean-American political voice outside of the insular ethnic community has not paralleled the economic and educational successes experienced by a significant proportion of Korean-Americans, recent increases in Korean American political participation in U.S. domestic elections increase the likelihood that this population becomes a stronger force in future U.S. relations with Korea. Recognizing the activities and sentiment of the growing Korean-American community as an important factor in the U.S.-Korean bilateral relationship, this project aims to understand and consider the “K Factor,” that is the Korean-American political voice and perspectives on issues related to U.S.-Korea relations, and offer recommendations to policymakers and scholars on both sides to begin a process of utilizing the Korean-American community in the United States and bridge the gaps that may appear in the bilateral relationship in coming years.
The study will be conducted through surveys (available on-line in both Korean and English) and roundtable discussions, and will culminate in a written report. Roll-out events of the final report are scheduled for the end of 2007.
