An Unfortunate Side-Effect of American Military Presence

Master thesis | International Relations (MA)
Interpreting sexism, misogyny and racism in the American military culture with regards to South Korean camptown prostitution and placing it within the context of the existing literature on this sex industry, this research concludes that the cultural factors of the military play a highly relevant role in the South Korean sex industry. The research includes the recent development of foreign women working, many of whom involuntarily so, in the camptown sex industry, and moreover, the role that the American military culture plays as a contributing factor to the prostitution.
