CULTURAL COOPERATION BETWEEN SOUTH KOREA AND JAPAN

Authors/Creators

Description

This paper examines the evolving dynamics of cultural cooperation and
tourism between South Korea and Japan in the 21st century. Despite political
tensions and a complex historical legacy, the two nations have developed robust
frameworks for cultural exchange and people-to-people diplomacy, particularly
through pop culture, academic initiatives, and sustainable tourism. This study
explores key areas of bilateral cultural collaboration, current trends in tourism, and
the socio-political implications of this soft power engagement, drawing on case
studies, recent statistics, and policy initiatives. The paper concludes with a
discussion on future directions and policy recommendations for strengthening
bilateral cultural tourism.
