Although the rapid spread worldwide of the coronavirus in 2020
focused minds everywhere on the dangers of a global pandemic, other
dangers facing the world have not diminished. Failure to resolve
issues relating to the divided Korean peninsula is one of these.
Great concern has long been expressed in several quarters about the
behavior and ambitions of the reclusive North Korean regime. Often
it is presented in Western media as an especially brutal
dictatorship whose aggressive expansionist dreams pose a threat to
world peace. Others question this one-dimensional picture and argue
that a process of selective demonization is at work. In this
thoughtful volume, 18 engaged scholars from Asia, the United States
and Europe with first-hand knowledge about and experiences in
Korea, North and South, share their insights and suggestions with
concerned readers worldwide. They strive to get beyond the everyday
rhetoric clouding the situation and address the demonization issue,
exploring its different aspects from Western and Eastern
perspectives. Their approach is to treat the Korean conflict as a
multidimensional problem, with historical roots, cross-cultural and
political-ideological perspectives, and not least with consequences
far beyond the region where it takes place. North Korea is not the
only country in the cross-hairs of heavyweight media organizations.
The intensifying great power struggle between China and the United
States is being played out on television, online and in the print
media of both countries and beyond. The volume thus concludes by
drawing into its consideration this developing conflict in which
the two Koreas play a minor, almost bystander role. As such, as
well as providing engaged readers with a more nuanced treatment of
the issues, this collection offers important insights to
journalists, officials and decision-makers around the world.
