Abstract:
Since President Kim Young Sam’s segyehwa drive of the mid-1990s, South Korea has become a model for successful globalization. In contrast, North Korea is commonly considered one of the least internationally integrated countries. This characterization fails to account for the reality of the two Koreas and their global engagements. This collection departs from existing studies by focusing on the impact of international influences on the society, culture, and language of both North and South Korea. The opening essay situates the chapters by highlighting some significant contrasts and commonalities between the experiences of North and South Korea’s history of engagement with the world beyond the Peninsula. The chapters explore both the longer-term historical influence of Korea’s international contacts as well as specific Korean cultural, linguistic, and social developments that have occurred since the 1990s demise of the global Cold War and greater international integration
The twelve chapters and the introductory essay that make up this collection have been written by a mixture of senior Korean Studies academics and emerging scholars – all of whom are experts in their respective fields. The Two Koreas and their Global Engagements will appeal to scholars of Korean Studies, as well as non-specialists and those with a passing interest in Korea. The volume is designed to provide classroom-ready materials for students on Korean Studies undergraduate courses.
