Korea's Self-Governing Island of Pacifism and Particularism

"Folks down on Jeju-do like doing things their own way," reminds Andy Jackson of the only Korean provincials who "even have ‘autonomous’ in their official name" — Another revolt on Jeju-do. The revolt in question has "locals up in arms over their governor’s plan to set up a naval base on the island."

Mentioned are "the Jeju Peace Forum, the Jeju Peace Institute, Jeju National University’s Institute of Peace Studies and the Jeju Peace Museum." This blogger had long lamented the lack of particularism here in Korea, but it seems I was blinded by focusing solely on the peninsula.
