Conclusion

Abstract

From the neo-Marxism perspective, this research argued how decisive geographic politics and relevant governmental policy instruments deployed by a regime could impact political authority and civil society’s coexistence, the territorialization/socialization process of Korean minority’s identity habitus has been explained and rationalized in this research. The traditional political socialization channel of school education is still more dominant and new media cannot fundamentally challenge the dominant political norm yet, because transnationally it cannot call for real political resources to alter the way political authority functions domestically (Piao 2011; Yu and Wang 2014). Ultimately, the state stays in the center of coordinating all the resources at multilevels of governance, though it has to adopt more liberal policy to favor civil society for the regime’s sustainable development, which in return expands into the transnational scale that further forces the state to liberalize, at least superficially.
