Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to analyze the formation and political implications of solidarity activities initiated by overseas human rights groups during the Gwangju Uprising period. Analysis of documents on the Gwangju Uprising housed in the East Asian Library of UCLA confirm that overseas human rights groups had formed a transnational advocacy network (TAN) in order to monitor the political and human rights situation in South Korea. This transnational advocacy network, centered in North America and Japan, quickly spread the actual urgent situation of the Gwangju massacre abroad while also exerting pressure on American and South Korean governments to bring political change after the Gwangju Uprising. The paper concludes by pointing out the need for more detailed empirical studies on how these activities of the TAN influenced US foreign policies and changes in South Korean politics after the Gwangju Uprising.
