The Northeast Asia Center (NEAC) has accumulated academic capacities around themes related to the Northeast Asian region such as the Cold War
and post-Cold War, borders and minorities, cultural heritage and geographical imagination, and division and the North Korean problem, and has constructed research networks at home and abroad. As a central unit of consilient research combining the region and themes in Northeast Asia including North and South Koreas, China, Japan, Taiwan and Hong Kong, NEAC has played a leading role in studying East Asian trans-borders and frontiers, Asia tourism, and conflicts and peace in the Korean peninsula and East Asia. Further, NEAC contributes to strengthening common research capacities through academic consilience by serving as a hub of communication and cooperation among Asia-related research institutes in SNU.
