ABSTRACT

This paper analyzes the reorganizing of the Korean immigration policy to Manchuria after the outbreak of the second Sino-Japanese War. By 1937, the Kwantung Army had suppressed Korean migration to Manchuria and changed its immigration policy to secure the labor force needed to carry out the war. With this policy change, society’s perceptions of Korean immigrants went from anti-Japanese suspects to pioneers of a new empire. In this paper, I trace the political dynamics between Japan-Korea-Manchu with a focus on these states’ immigration policies in Manchuria and analyze the process and logic of policy change.
