[New Release] 'Joseon Crisis Response Notes' View original image


◆Joseon Crisis Response Notes = This examines how the leaders of Joseon dealt with unprecedented disasters and crises. Twenty cases are analyzed in depth from a modern perspective and theoretical standpoint. These include the Byeongjahoran War, Gwangmu Reform, the Hopae Law debate, and the appointment of the Crown Prince. The responsibilities of leaders are highlighted through the traces of success and failure. Historical events are reduced to general social principles to provide practical insights into crisis management.


"Reform cannot be accomplished by the power of a few alone. This is especially true when confronting vested interests. It is common to monopolize the agenda by advocating righteousness and clarity, pushing all forces except themselves into targets for elimination, but this is foolish. Instead of exclusion, one must use the logic of integration, co-opting and involving everyone except the main targets. One must persuade and compromise to increase their supporters. Only then can change truly happen, and reform be realized."
