ResumoThis paper attempted to explicate how the news media have framed the views and the actions of different clusters of social actors during the two cycles of decision-making processes of the Korean troop dispatch to Iraq from 2002 to 2004. The present study explicated nine context-specific frames: unjustified invasion, contribution to world peace, international relations and/or politics, fortification of the Korea-US alliance, economic advantages from Iraqi reconstruction, etc. Using Galois lattice analysis of a total of 788 news articles of the Chosun Ilbo and the Hangyereh Shinmun, this paper tried to help understand the controversial troop-dispatch discourse at the macro-structural level, and at the same time interpret how the two local newspapers have framed the controversy.
