Project Title: Resettled Refugees' Adaptation: A Comparative Study Between Korea and the United States

Korea began a refugee resettlement program in 2015, which was regarded by international communities as a big development in the Korean government's refugee policies. In comparison, the United States has a long history of resettling refugees and has contributed a lot to the solution of protracted predicament of refugee crises. In this regard, the project demonstrates different styles of policy implementation as well as resettled refugees' adaptation to the host society.
