Description
Summary:The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary South Korea offers a groundbreaking study of the sociopolitical development of the Korean peninsula in the contemporary period. Written by an international team of scholars and experts, contributions to this book address key intellectual questions in the development of Korean studies, projecting new ways of thinking about how international systems can be organized and how local societies adapt to global challenges. Academically rigorous, each chapter defines current research and lends the reader greater understanding of the social, cultural, economic and political developments of South Korea, ranging from chapters on the Korean Wave, to relations with North Korea and the Korean language overseas. It will be of great interest to students and scholars of Korean history, politics and international relations, culture and society and will also appeal to policy makers interested in the Indo-Asia Pacific region.
