A Comparative Study on Perceptions of Neighboring Countries in Japan and South Korea : Focusing on the Relations Among Neighboring Countries

在这项研究中，我的目的是澄清日本和韩国邻国的看法是如何相互联系和相互影响的复杂方式，受到各自国家地理世界观和民族认同变化的影响。基于对文献和案例研究的回顾，我认为邻国或两国人民的看法不仅受到双边或相互关系的影响，而且受到邻国多边关系的影响，以及每个国家地理或地缘政治世界观和民族认同的变化。

In this research, I aimed to clarify how the perceptions of neighboring countries in Japan and Korea have been interlinked and mutually influenced in complicated ways being affected by the changes of geographical worldviews and national identities in each country. Base on reviews of the literature and the case studies, I argue that the perceptions of neighboring countries or people in both countries have been influenced not only by bilateral or mutual relation but also by multilateral relations of neighboring countries and the changes of geographical or geopolitical worldviews and national identities in each country.
