| 520 | 3 | |a Moon writes that prostitution in South Korea in and around the many American military bases were sponsored and regulated jointly by the governments of the United States and the Republic of Korea in an effort to advance a friendly relationship between the two countries in the 1970s. These kijich?on (Camptown) prostitutes were an integral part of the tensions and negotiations between the US and the ROK, as they served as tools in the ?promotion of the two governments bilateral security issues (Moon, Sex among Allies 2). The Nixon Doctrine and the Camptown Clean-Up Campaign involuntarily ?drew the [kijich?on prostitutes] women into the process of foreign policy implementation (Moon, Sex among Allies 149). They played a vital role in promoting the mutual interests of the two nations (Moon, Sex among Allies 1). Thus, both governments viewed military prostitution, as a means to advance the alliance between the two countries and to keep the U.S. soldiers who fight so hard for the freedom of the South Korean people happy (Moon, Sex among Allies 2) Moon does not present the kijich´on prostitutes as mere victims, but contends that they were transnational actors. She further asserts that the personal is international and that individuals without significant resources or substantial control over issues can be political actors in international relations (Moon, Sex among Allies 160). Moon´s work examines Kijich´on women´s role as a significant political player with resource (sex) and as instruments of foreign policy (12) in making U.S.- Korea relations in the context of Nixon Doctrine in the early 1970´s. She refines transnational studies (Keohane and Nye), the bureaucratic politics models (Kardam and Whitworth), organization studies (Weiss and Gordenker), Huntington and Lasswell´s garrison-state model (126), and feminist analysis of foreign policy (Cynthia Enloe) by reframing specific local actors of military prostitution as international actors in policymaking. Moon also intervenes in the field of Korean Studies. Traditionally studies of Korea have focused on the political structures, policy formulation and implementation, and elite decision makers (politicians). This examination of kijich´on prostitutes joins other more recent scholarly works (like those of Laura Kendall and Martina Deuchler) that have begun to look beneath the political history at areas such as culture, gender, religion, and class. As a function of methodology, she employs an Interdisciplinary approach (feminist studies; foreign policy; history; culture). She utilizes a wide range of sources in both English and Korean. She draws on interviews with kijich?on prostitutes and former military personnel, congressional documents, US and ROK military documents, newspapers, magazines, newsletters, and pamphlets. | |
