The essays aim to answer two interconnected questions: How have international developments impacted Korea, and how has Korea influenced world events and trends? The volume demonstrates that understanding Korea's post-World War II history, which encompasses division, war, economic development, and inter-Korean rivalry, requires consideration of its global interactions. The essays cover a diverse range of topics, including U.S.-South Korean relations, North Korean foreign policy, immigration, and democratization. They push the boundaries of various subfields, such as historical essays that introduce new archival materials and shed light on past diplomacy between the two Koreas. Others explore aspects of American influence on Korea that have been overlooked, such as its impact on urban development and food consumption. The essays on contemporary Korean politics and society provide insights into recent developments in North and South Korea while offering fresh interpretive frameworks. By showcasing the work of new voices in Korean Studies, this volume challenges our understanding and reconceptualizes Korea's role in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781498591140\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44102249939194,"sku":"9781498591140","price":38.54,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1647344580197_book.jpg?v=1647361949","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/korea-and-the-world-new-frontiers-in-korean-studies-9781498591140","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
