| Title | The Korean Wave: Korean American Identities and Diaspora Engagement Policies |
| Summary | The purpose of this thesis is to understand how the Korean Wave has enhanced Korea’s diaspora engagement. I have hypothesized that the impact the Korean Wave’s impact on the identity formation of Korean American youth has enhanced Korea’s diaspora engagement. However, there is no literature that specifically evaluates the Korean Wave’s influence on identity formation for diaspora engagement; I will use literature on soft power and diaspora engagement in order to understand how this process works. The following chapters will be dedicated to further analysis of how the Korean Wave has enhanced Korea’s diaspora engagement by improving identity formation. The research methodology will involve the analysis of literature on soft power and diaspora engagement. This will be followed by a background of the Korean Wave in the United States and Korea’s diaspora engagement; then in order to understand how Korean American identities have developed there will be an analysis of the results of my survey on Korean American identity. This will be followed by a combined analysis of my findings to understand how the Korean Wave has enhanced Korea’s diaspora engagement. |
