This article aims to review the East Asia discourse of Changbi Group and to search a new innovative path of it. Directed by Paik, Nak-chung, ‘The Quarterly Changbi’ has lead the East Asia discourse of South Korea, based on the ‘Division System’ and ‘Transforming middle Way’ for last twenty-years. The Division System is a periodical defining concept which distinguishes it from the ‘Cold War System,’ and it also connotes a more complex system which is closely linked with global capitalism. On the other hand, the Transforming middle Way is a practical principal and philosophy to overcome the division system. That is, it is transforming in the sense that it pursues to overcome the division system and it is also a Middle way because it avoids falling into any specific philosophical deflection.
Unfortunately, it seems vague that how these two perspectives, the acknowledgement of the division system and any practices of the Middle way, would and could be applied and interpreted in (North)East Asia. The main reason of this question is based on how it sets the relationship between ‘Korean Peninsula-Centered Vision’ and East Asia. As indicates the ‘Transforming Middle Way’ of Paik, Nak-chung, the process to overcome the division system itself is a field of which a new subject is forming, and it is simultaneously used as a tool of struggle to overcome the division system in a circle. Therefore, it begins with a ‘National subject’, but it has to connect with a formation of new East Asiatic subject. Thus, the main task of the East Asia discourse which is combined with the division system has to be placed in a formation of a field or motivation that encourages establishing any subjects beyond Korea or Korean peninsula.
Moreover, the Korean Peninsula-Centered Vision leads us to understand that Korean/Korean peninsula has a coincidental and external relationship with East Asia. However, the process of overcoming the division system itself has to be appreciated as a cooperative regional field and a preliminary field to prepare the advert of East Asia community. In order to achieve this, East Asia has to be internalized in Korea/Korean peninsula and its way is ironically that bigger East Asia is melted into smaller Korea/Korean peninsula.
In the perspective of East Asia, Korean peninsula is a unique place to experiment that there is a hierarchical structure but this suppressing structure plays the least role within region. I think, if the Unification of Korea is understood as a process without a premise of a fixed final form, it is a task of East Asia discourse to prove that the regional cooperation and participation in East Asia is a necessary requirement in this process. Thus, I believe that an innovative path of East Asia discourse lies here.
