Ítem Asia, The Fourth Transformation and the Global Change of Power(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-06-19) Laborde, Adolfo Alberto; Maldonado, Marcela; Universidad Anáhuac; Universidad Autónoma de Baja CaliforniaThis paper mainly places Mexico’s national interests within its foreign policy, as part of the transformation context that Mexico is currently undergoing, known as The Fourth Transformation –4T. It takes into account changes in the global balance of power and presents alternatives in this area, which will contribute to their accomplishment. Based on the importance of diversifying international economic trade relationships, as a key factor to eliminate dependence on the North American market, Mexican exports to the American market accounted for 76% of the total exports in 2018 according to the Secretariat of Economy (2019). Consequently, this paper is based on the assumption that “while the country’s political and economic diversification is necessary, there are still no clear strategies, as opposed to the proposals made by our main partners in the world, especially those in Asia (China, South Korea, and Japan), which have recently shown interest in strengthening their ties with Mexico.” To this end, an analysis is conducted using the neorealist approach of international relationships, of the sources of power by Joseph S. Nye Jr. (2011), and of the power transition theory by Tammen (2000).Ítem Cultural factors of corporate governance in South Korea(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-06-19) Guinand, Laura; Arenas, María Camila; Universidad EAFITThe article analyzes how Confucian values influence South Korea’s tra- de culture and draws parallels with Latin America. The analysis is based on a comparison of Hofstede’s dimensions of national culture between Colom- bia and South Korea, concluding that despite various similarities, Korea’s long-term orientation and the affiliate relations that result from the Confucian tradition have been essential for the greater success of the Asian country’s companies.Ítem Dead Kids review(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-06-19) Zapata, Mónica; Universidad EAFITÍtem Duality in the definition of anime(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-06-19) Álvarez, Jhenny; Melguizo, Yesenia; Universidad EAFITThis review aims to investigate and give its opinion on the collective imagination that has been built around anime as a means of entertainment and dissemination of Japanese culture, starting from its etymology, from the analysis of its origins, then going through the process of reception in the nation and its establishment as a cultural icon of the land of the rising sun; later, its reception in Colombia and thus, propose a contextualized definition.Ítem Dynamics Of The Relation Between Latin America And China: Cluster Analysis, 2005–2018(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-06-19) Wong, Sara A.; Valverde, Ivanna; Silva, Carlos A.; Escuela Superior Politécnica del LitoralLiterature discusses the symbiosis between financing loans granted by China to Latin America and exports from this region to China. This paper contributes to this literature by providing empirical evidence on the relation be- tween Latin American countries and China by creating a typology of countries based on different key aspects such as trade, commodity dependence, debt, environment, and institutionalism in four years over time (2005, 2010, 2015, and 2018). The dependence of countries on financing from China is taken into account, given the limited access to international markets as well as how aspects of government corruption and stability impact such dynamics. The contrast between countries and indicators shows that the relation between China and Latin America involves different aspects beyond bilateral trade.Ítem How immigration can boost the Japanese economy by mitigating the effects of population aging(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-06-19) Castillo, Dionisio; Universidad EAFITThe economic impact of immigration depends on the characteristics of the host countries. Immigration has had positive results in countries like the USA, Australia, Canada, and the UK. This paper seeks to demonstrate how Japan would also benefit from immigration. The main barrier to implementing inclusive policies in Japan is the longstanding cultural belief, that immigrants are invaders instead of equal who can enjoy the same rights as native-born Japanese. The aging of Japan’s population is affecting its labor market where there is more demand than supply, meaning that the overall economy is running below its potential. In order to match demand with supply, Japan needs to contemplate the plausible option of letting in more immigrants to fill up vacancies. If Japan fails to do this, it will see a decline in its output capacity, meaning that it will lose competitiveness and productivity with adverse effects on the economy.Ítem Korea 2020 Coffee Show(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-06-19) Guevara, María José; Universidad EAFITÍtem Memory and Literature: Colonization and Construction of the Past in the Novel Pachinko(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-06-19) del Valle, Verónica; Universidad Nacional de La PlataMemory is the construction of the past and, directly linked to experience, it is related to social, cultural, or political identities.

It is addressed using an analysis based on memory and history, taking into account the experiences of the Korean people exiled in Japan.Ítem Mongolian: that unsuspected mystery(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-06-19) Ramírez, Natalia; Universidad EAFITÍtem Okja: a critique of capitalism(Universidad EAFIT, 2020-06-19) Posada, Julián; Zuluaga, Tatiana; Universidad EAFITOkja is a film directed by the South Korean writer and director Bong Joon-ho and co-written by Bong and Jon Ronson, it has the participation of actors such as Steven Yeun (better known as Glenn in the series The Walking Dead) and Devon Bostick of the series American The 100 .
