Book Description
Host country to the 1988 Olympic Games, the Republic of Korea (‘South Korea’) became prominent in world affairs but surprisingly little was known about the general public. First published in 1988, Korea provides a complete picture of the country and its people. The authors reveal the continuing importance of the country’s economic development, which enabled it to develop almost overnight from a starvation economy into an international force and offer an insight into the distinct and under-appreciated cultural tradition of the Republic of Korea. They set the Korean peninsula in its Asian context and give a fascinating description of the Korean people—their society, language, customs, and religions (both old and new), the role of the family and of women, and the aspirations of ordinary Koreans as their country emerged into the international limelight. This book is a must read for students of Asian studies and history, and general readers interested in the topic.
The Koreans
Author: Donald S MacdonaldPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 0429972431
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
In this new edition, Donald Clark has thoroughly revised and updated Donald Macdonald's widely praised introduction to Korea, describing and assessing the volatile and dramatic developments on the peninsula over the last five years. Remaining true to Macdonald's original conception, Clark has reworked the existing text from the perspective of the mid-1990s to take account of the enormous political and economic changes in South Korea, the evolving relationship between North and South, and the implications of North Korea's leadership transition and nuclear capability.
Divided Korea
Author: Joungwon A. KimPublisher: BRILL
ISBN: 1684171903
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 490
Book Description
A comparative study of the political systems of North and South Korea under the sponsorship of different foreign powers, through the efforts of different leadership groups, from the moment of collapse of the Japanese colonial regime in 1945 to 1972. In comparing the developments in the two Koreas, the author is especially concerned with the role played by political leaders, the contrasting uses of political tools, the relative influence played by various factors both within and without the society, and the contrasting processes of consolidation of power by the newly established political elites and the institutionalization of two distinct systems.
