Based on programs in North America, this study examines lessons for selected advanced curricular issues in graduate level international studies education in South Korea’s regions beyond Seoul. The primary research question concerns how Korea’s outlying graduate schools of international studies can be improved by developing more professionally focused programs, offering more useful joint/dual degrees, incorporating management training and improving global executive education. The paper also considers general and curricular problems faced by these schools, reasons for focusing on outlying schools and lessons from North America, and for exercising care in developing applications from other regions. The research also looks at how outlying regions experience significant global problems, including over-centralization, population decline, multiculturalism, trade, nuclear energy and weapons issues, and socio-economic impacts. I argue that outlying international studies schools can help provide the widest range of tools to help their regions cope with these challenges. Finally, I conclude that there are potentially useful lessons from North America for Korea which, if carefully applied, can assist international studies scholars and practitioners to help their regions better handle the local/regional impacts of global issues, including issues of conflict, peace and reunification between the Koreas. I also argue that the knowledge and research approaches of applied anthropology are highly effective tools for helping Korea to respond more effectively to its local-global challenges. Applied anthropology can help Korea to connect international issues with their local and regional impacts, to better understand how global forces affect human communities, groups and individuals, and to provide effective, practical solutions.
