| Research Abstract |
As a goal of our research, we have tried to clarify the picture of transition of the world as a result of globalization from two perspectives : neo-liberalism and wars. In three years of our collaborative research, we've reinterpreted the world order of today by reexamining the idea of Imperialism through its invisible relation to New Deal, while taking into consideration the historical perspective that Western value has been globalized. Also, with analysis of ‘war on terror' after 9.11, we attempted to determine the issues that modern political thought faces, by investigating reorganization of relation between nation, authority, legal order, and violence.

conflict and Humanity (collapse of frame of individuals), and transition from exiles to refugees (collapse of civic status). Consequently, we successfully found out the points where structure of a society and existence of individuals have been disturbed by formation and collapse of national order. The result of our research is going to be published as a collection of papers soon.
Our original plan to collect library shots in the research gave us a new insight into the issues the global media faces, and it developed into two symposia consisted of expositions of the materials and discussions on them : an international symposium in 2004 (The Geopolitics of Visual), two in 2005 (From a Battlefield for Human Dignity, Nightmare of Globalization). A part of records of these symposia has been published with another fund from a co-host. The rest has been worked on.
We really take pride in our rewarding achievement in the result of this collaborative research, giving birth to new researches, actual return of our accomplishment to the society. Less
