Abstract
This paper provides an outline of research papers on modern Korean history published in recent years (2018-2019). In the introductory section, we confirmed how much research papers and books were produced. During the two years, 2,059 research papers and 426 books have been published. The researchers who wrote these papers belong to one of the four schools. The new right school of history represented the interests of the ruling class. They are politically extremely conservative. The nationalist school of history is mainly composed of researchers majoring in the history of the independence movement. They are oriented towards gradual reform of the society. The people-oriented school of history is based on the theory of historical materialism, and has a politically radical tendency. The postmodernist school of history is regarded as the most attractive theory and methodology leading the study of modern and contemporary history. The majority of young researchers support this school.
