On October 26, 1909, the Korean patriot An Chunggŭn assassinated
the Japanese statesman Itō Hirobumi in Harbin, China. More than a
century later, the ramifications of An’s daring act continue to
reverberate across East Asia and beyond. This volume explores the
abiding significance of An, his life, and his written work, most
notably On Peace in the East (Tongyang p’yŏnghwaron), from a
variety of perspectives, especially historical, legal, literary,
philosophical, and political. The ways in which An has been
understood and interpreted by contemporaries, by later generations,
and by scholars and thinkers even today shed light on a range of
significant issues including the intellectual and philosophical
underpinnings for both imperial expansion and resistance to it; the
ongoing debate concerning whether violence, or even terrorism, is
ever justified; and the possibilities for international cooperation
in today’s East Asia as a regional collective. Students and
scholars of East Asia will find much to engage with and learn from
in this volume.
