Analyzing the Korean Peninsula's contemporary engagement with the
Persian Gulf region from the 1950s to the present day, the book
begins by asking the following question: What drew Koreans to the
region in the first place and under what circumstances were they
drawn there? While taking into account a combination of both
external and internal factors shaping the dynamics of the Korean
Peninsula's interactions with the Persian Gulf region, this book
largely concentrates on the agency factor to analyze the nature and
scope of a rather multifaceted relationship between the two areas.
The Republic of Korea has, in fact, maintained diverse connections
to every single country in the Persian Gulf over the past several
decades, and its rather considerable activities and accomplishments
in the region all justify such an overwhelming focus. The
Democratic People's Republic of Korea's record in the Persian Gulf,
however, is mostly limited to its relationship with Iran, though
Pyongyang has pursued relationships with some other states in the
region. This book studies the elements of Pyongyang's actions in
the region as an appendage to South Korea's various political and
economic achievements. Employing a process-tracing approach, this
book will be of interest to policymakers, as well as to students
and scholars of International Relations, Middle East Studies and
Asian Studies.
