The Korean War
Author: Bruce CumingsPublisher: Modern Library
ISBN: 081297896X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
A BRACING ACCOUNT OF A WAR THAT IS EITHER MISUNDERSTOOD, FORGOTTEN, OR WILLFULLY IGNORED For Americans, it was a discrete conflict lasting from 1950 to 1953. But for the Asian world the Korean War was a generations-long struggle that still haunts contemporary events. With access to new evidence and secret materials from both here and abroad, including an archive of captured North Korean documents, Bruce Cumings reveals the war as it was actually fought. He describes its origin as a civil war, preordained long before the first shots were fired in June 1950 by lingering fury over Japan’s occupation of Korea from 1910 to 1945. Cumings then shares the neglected history of America’s post–World War II occupation of Korea, reveals untold stories of bloody insurgencies and rebellions, and tells of the United States officially entering the action on the side of the South, exposing as never before the appalling massacres and atrocities committed on all sides. Elegantly written and blisteringly honest, The Korean War is, like the war it illuminates, brief, devastating, and essential.

Book Description
Have South Korean attitudes toward the United States deteriorated? To answer this question, RAND researchers compiled and analyzed public opinion data on those attitudes and examined selected periods in U.S.-South Korean relations to identify the sources of anti-U.S. sentiment. They found evidence of a downturn in favorable sentiment toward the U.S. but also of a more recent recovery. They recommend ways to improve South Koreans' perceptions of the U.S. and address their long-standing grievances.
Korean Nationalism and the Anti-American Sentiment in the Post-Cold War Era

Book Description
The purpose of this thesis is to research on the process how the interaction between the United States and South Korea during the Cold War period had formed Korean nationalism and how that Korean nationalism has been transformed in the post Cold War period with the recent anti-American sentiment in Korea. The end of the Cold war makes the characteristics of Korean nationalism different. Before the end of the Cold war Korean nationalism can be characterized as "state-centered" nationalism. Park, Chung-hee regime especially put so much emphasis on the "developmental state" strategy that people and all the resources were highly mobilized and exploited by the government. Moreover, under the atmosphere of the Cold war period South Korea had nothing but to keep good relationship with other states to get aids from those countries, especially the US, against the possible threat of North Korea. In the post-Cold war era, however, South Korea and the US have changed their attitudes toward each other and even nationalist demonstration, such as anti-American sentiment, has occurred in South Korea. For instance, in 2002 when two Korean middle school girls were killed in a traffic accident by American GIs, it accelerated anti-American sentiment and strong nationalism in South Korea. The "external collective identities" of two actors are formulated in the process of the interaction and so do South Korean people and the USFK. In their interaction by giving and taking identities they also form and sometimes change their "internal collective identities". In this learning process, Korean people formulate and sometimes change their "external collective identity" toward the "other" - the US, as well as the "internal collective identity" of themselves.

Languages : en
Pages : 169
Book Description
South Korean companies and technology have suddenly conquered the world. Samsung, Hyundai and LG are industry leaders and the global brands. Korean culture in the form of K-Pop music videos and "Korean Wave" films and TV dramas are watched everywhere from Tel Aviv to Singapore to Rio. Korean gourmet food trucks ply the streets of New York and LA, and kimchi has found a place on the shelves of well-stocked supermarkets around the world. With just a fraction of Japan's land area, less than half its population, and no natural resources--how have Korean companies managed to conquer the world in such a short period of time? What is the "secret sauce" of Korean business practices and companies that makes them so successful? To find out, readers need more than statistics and company profiles. Learning the basics about Korean culture, about Korean social etiquette and Korean business culture, will enable you to understand for the first time how Koreans think and why they work so effectively to achieve their goals. This understanding will enhance your own effectiveness in doing business with Koreans, or in competing with them--whether in Korea or elsewhere.
North Korea/South Korea
Author: John FefferPublisher: Seven Stories Press
ISBN: 9781583226032
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 204
Book Description
The Korean peninsula, divided for more than fifty years, is stuck in a time warp. Millions of troops face one another along the Demilitarized Zone separating communist North Korea and capitalist South Korea. In the early 1990s and again in 2002-2003, the United States and its allies have gone to the brink of war with North Korea. Misinterpretations and misunderstandings are fueling the crisis. "There is no country of comparable significance concerning which so many people are ignorant," American anthropologist Cornelius Osgood said of Korea some time ago. This ignorance may soon have fatal consequences. North Korea, South Korea is a short, accessible book about the history and political complexites of the Korean peninsula, one that explores practical alternatives to the current US policy: alternatives that build on the remarkable and historic path of reconciliation that North and South embarked on in the 1990s and that point the way to eventual reunification.

Anti-Americanism in Democratizing South Korea
Author: David StraubPublisher:
ISBN: 9781931368384
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Korea, 2002. The capital is the scene of huge anti-American protests, the U.S. flag torn to shreds, an American taken hostage and forced to make a propaganda statement, and cyber-attacks on the United States. Pyongyang? No--Seoul, capital of U.S. ally South Korea Americans think of South Korea as one of the most pro-American of countries, but in fact many Koreans hold harsh and conspiratorial views of the United States. If not, why did a single U.S. military traffic accident in 2002 cause hundreds of thousands of Koreans to take to the streets for weeks, shredding and burning American flags, cursing the United States, and harassing Americans? Why, too, the death threats against American athlete Apolo Ohno and massive cyberattacks against the United States for a sports call made at the Utah Winter Olympics by an Australian referee? These are just two of the incidents detailed in David Straub's book, the story of an explosion of anti-Americanism in South Korea from 1999 to 2002. Straub, a Korean- speaking senior American diplomat in Seoul at the time, reviews the complicated history of the United States' relationship with Korea and offers case studies of Korean anti-American incidents during the period that make clear why the outburst occurred, how close it came to undermining the United States' alliance with Korea, and whether it could happen again. "Anti-Americanism in Democratizing South Korea" is recommended reading for officials, military personnel, scholars, students, and business people interested in anti-Americanism, U.S.-Korean relations, and U.S. foreign policy and military alliances.
