Abstract

In the late nineteenth century, the Chosŏn government under King Kojong pursued military strengthening in response to growing threats from Western powers. Existing scholarship has often interpreted these efforts as evidence of a fundamental transformation of the military system. However, the regime simultaneously relied on military exile (ch’unggun 充軍), a conventional punitive practice that required offenders to perform compulsory military service. This apparent contradiction raises important questions about the nature of military reform and the role of punishment in late Chosŏn society.

This talk examines military exile during King Kojong’s reign (1863-1894). Through an analysis of its historical origins, legal foundations, and modes of enforcement, it argues that Chosŏn policymakers continued to hold a devalued view of the military. This perspective reflected long-standing elite attitudes toward military service that persisted despite official reform agendas aimed at strengthening military capacity and elevating the status of military officials. The resulting tension between formal state policy and elite practice, this lecture contends, contributed to the incomplete and uneven character of military reform in late nineteenth-century Chosŏn.

On Monday, February 23, 2026 at 5:00 PM HST, Dr. Fiona S. Cunningham joined us to discuss her new book, Under the Nuclear Shadow: China’s Information-Age Weapons in International Security (Princeton University Press, 2025). How can states use military force to achieve their political aims without triggering a catastrophic nuclear war? Among the states facing this dilemma of fighting limited wars, only China has given information-age weapons such a prominent role. While other countries have preferred the traditional options of threatening to use nuclear weapons or fielding capabilities for decisive conventional military victories, China has instead chosen to rely on offensive cyber operations, counterspace capabilities, and precision conventional missiles to coerce its adversaries. In Under the Nuclear Shadow, Fiona Cunningham examines this distinctive aspect of China’s post-Cold War deterrence strategy, developing an original theory of “strategic substitution.” When crises with the United States highlighted the inadequacy of China’s existing military capabilities, Cunningham argues, China pursued information-age weapons that promised to rapidly provide credible leverage against adversaries. Drawing on hundreds of original Chinese language sources and interviews with security experts in China, Cunningham provides a rare and candid glimpse from Beijing into the information-age technologies that are reshaping how states gain leverage in the twenty-first century.

Fiona Cunningham is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania. She is also a Faculty Fellow at Perry World House and affiliated with the Center for the Study of Contemporary China and the Christopher H. Browne Center for International Politics at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Cunningham’s research interests lie the intersection of technology and conflict, with an empirical focus on China.

She is a research affiliate with the MIT Security Studies Program and holds nonresident affiliations with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and National Security College at the Australian National University. Dr. Cunningham received her Ph.D. in Political Science from MIT in 2018. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of New South Wales and a Bachelor of Laws from the University of Sydney, both with first class honors. Previously, she was an Assistant Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at George Washington University.
