A fresh historical and theoretical exploration of the much-debated,
but still elusive, question of the Korean divide. In contrast to
much of the literature on the divide, which deals with
state-building on the two sides of the Demilitarized Zone, this
book sheds light on the slow, but steady process of homogenization
between the two estranged peoples, as accelerated after the end of
the Cold War and especially after the inauguration of President Kim
Dae-jung in 1998.
Providing immense empirical detail as well as theoretical debate on
the ideas in policy shaping in South Korea, the book presents a
rich 'history of enemies' and covers issues including:
an overview of the structural shift and the rise and fall of
identity groups in South Korea
history of 'enemy-making' and 'peace-building'
North Korea's external relations with the US, Japan and
Europe
Hyundai's groundbreaking, cross-border tourism and other economic
cooperation projects
the lingering nuclear weapons crises.
By focusing on the question of identities, the book presents a new
approach on one of the most important legacies of the Cold War and
threat to peace in the contemporary world: the divided Korean
peninsula. As such it fills a major gap in the literature,
utilizing new theoretical and empirical frameworks to deal with the
Korean division and its future implications in East Asia.
