Outline of Final Research Achievements

In Korea, the female political leaders are non-cooperative with the grassroots feminism movements and have little interest in their demands, therefore the current policy of increasing women in hight social status do not lead either to reinforce feminism or to weaken conservatism and neoliberalism. While traditional gender role and misogyny tend to be more emphasized, some of Korean female employee, who is increasing under neoliberalism, appeal their experience of military service to get some advantage in job-hunting.Besides,it's noteworthy that anti-communism was insisted deeply more than Korean-reunification in the interview with one of female activist of the militaristic conservatism.
In UK, on the other hand, xenophobia is often prevailing among the 'poor-white', who are hostile to the neo-liberalists belonging to the ruling class. Such xenophobic 'poor white' do not support the Labour party, however the people who prefer cultural-pluralism are eager in supporting the Labour party.
