Reclaiming Democratic Citizenship While Tackling Covid-19 in South Korea

한국의 ‘K-방역’ 모델을 비판적으로 검토할 때, 어떤 한계가 드러나는가? 저자들은 한국의 K-방역 모델이 코로나19 팬데믹을 관리하는 성과도 있었으나 차별, 배제, 불평등이라는 한계도 드러냈으며, 코로나19가 한국 사회에 불공정을 초래했다고 지적한다. 앞으로는 인포데믹, NGO 위축, 보건 옹호의 약화 등 새로운 장벽이 나타날 것으로 예상되기에, 민주적 시민성을 회복하기 위해서는 단순한 순응이 아니라 시민 합의를 기반으로 한 다양성, 숙의, 참여, 책임성, 투명성, 독립성이 필요하다.

Future Practices of Citizenship in Asia and the West: Care of the Self (Volume III) (edited by Gregory Bracken, Paul Rabé, Nurul Azreen Azlan. Amsterdam University Press, 2024)

Future Practices of Citizenship in Asia and the West investigates some of the greatest challenges facing society in the twenty-first century, including the struggle for rights and recognition by indigenous peoples, women, migrants, and the young, as well as the dampening effects some government responses to COVID-19 have had on artistic freedom and citizen participation. The ill effects of digitisation on citizenship, however, are tempered by some more positive approaches from grass-roots activities. Perhaps the most acute challenge facing the world today is climate change, an issue that can be both positive and negative, depending on how we respond to it. All the papers in this book share a people-centred approach based around Michel Foucault’s Care of the Self.
