 I get originally trained as a political scientist from 1978 to 1982 at Kookmin University in Seoul (the Republic of Korea). Then, I get the postgraduate diploma in ethics studies, political theory and international relations at Seoul National University in 1984 in the Republic of Korea. Then, I acquired doctorate at Seoul National University in 1994(Ph.D. in Ethical Studies), and Kookmin University in 2000(Ph.D. in International Politics). Up until 2006, I worked in autonomous service sector for a variety of politico-electing agencies as well as in many studies on the relations between two Koreas in a variety of roles involving the political education sector. Throughout my career, I have been engaged in using ‘systems thinking’ and ‘international relations’ (quantitative and qualitative methods) in project design, appraisal and monitoring and evaluation. I get the tenured full professor at Honam University in 2005 (located in the Republic of Korea's Gwangju Metropolitan City). I am a regular member of the ISSS (International Society for the Systems Sciences). I presented many papers in English at many international conferences. I am currently preparing a paper on the international relations and complex systems about the state of affairs in the region surrounding the Korean Peninsula and the citizenship in the multicultural society and globalized society. My current teaching role at Honam University is with political science (including political theories and issues) undergraduates and involves analyzing international relations (especially on the Korean Peninsula) in the graduate school process. I published 60 papers about political issues, international relations, moral theory, the principle of justice, justice theory and ethical problems, and 6 books on the relations between two Koreas, welfare states and the citizenship. Now until September 2011, I stay as a visiting professor for a research work at JDV in Pune.
