Editor’s Introduction

As the world faces challenges posed by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine War and Gaza conflict, along with long-term demographic, democratic, and ecological crises, the Korean Social Science Journal (KSSJ) remains dedicated to its mission of capturing a diverse array of social phenomena in localized and globalized contexts, making use of the latest trends and developments in theory and methodology in the process. Although a great deal of our articles center on Korea, the more journal issues we publish, the more we recognize how closely the issues Korea currently confronts relate to the conditions of global society. It therefore comes as no surprise that the articles in this issue attest to the cross-border encounters and comparable social contexts that characterize the contemporary world.
