Kim examines the impact of domestic politics in accomplishing South
Korea’s middle power diplomacy through the provision of foreign
aid. Since the 2000s, the rise of emerging nations as donors has
brought about a remarkable transition in the international
development community. South Korea has closed the gap with other
Development Assistance Committee donors in terms of the quality of
its aid. In doing so it has taken on a more active role as a middle
power, acting as an agenda-setter and a mediator in the field of
development and many other wide policy areas including trade,
finance, environment, security, and peacekeeping. What factors,
then, have encouraged South Korea to maintain and enhance the
existing international development system? Not only how they
behave, but also how their behaviour is determined is essential to
truly understand the impact of emerging donors on the existing
order. Kim highlights the significance of domestic politics in
determining South Korea’s foreign aid behaviour, framing it in
terms of South Korea’s wider middle power diplomatic strategy.
This book will be of great value to scholars of South Korean
politics and foreign policy, as well as to international relations
scholars with an interest in the foreign aid policy of middle
powers.

A Junior Library Guild Selection "Highly recommended for readers
passionate about activism." - SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, Starred
Review "Sure to inspire today's youthful generation of tenacious
changemakers." - BOOKLIST, Starred Review "The messages of hope are
universal." - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, Starred Review "A timely read
about friendship amid chaos." - NPR "It's hard to imagine a world
where Banned Book Club could be more relevant than it is right
now." - A.V. CLUB When Kim Hyun Sook started college in 1983 she
was ready for her world to open up. After acing her exams and
sort-of convincing her traditional mother that it was a good idea
for a woman to go to college, she looked forward to soaking up the
ideas of Western Literature far from the drudgery she was promised
at her family's restaurant. But literature class would prove to be
just the start of a massive turning point, still focused on reading
but with life-or-death stakes she never could have imagined. This
was during South Korea's Fifth Republic, a military regime that
entrenched its power through censorship, torture, and the murder of
protestors. In this charged political climate, with Molotov
cocktails flying and fellow students disappearing for hours and
returning with bruises, Hyun Sook sought refuge in the comfort of
books. When the handsome young editor of the school newspaper
invited her to his reading group, she expected to pop into the
cafeteria to talk about Moby Dick, Hamlet, and The Scarlet Letter.
Instead she found herself hiding in a basement as the youngest
member of an underground banned book club. And as Hyun Sook soon
discovered, in a totalitarian regime, the delights of discovering
great works of illicit literature are quickly overshadowed by fear
and violence as the walls close in. In BANNED BOOK CLUB, Hyun Sook
shares a dramatic true story of political division, fear-mongering,
anti-intellectualism, the death of democratic institutions, and the
relentless rebellion of reading.
This book guides sport coaches, parents and administrators in
creating a caring and task-involving sport climate that helps
athletes perform their best and have an enjoyable and meaningful
sport experience. It introduces the concept of a caring and
task-involving climate and provides a "how to" guide to creating
this climate in sport. Firstly, this guide introduces the caring
and task-involving climate and summarizes research highlighting its
many benefits. Secondly, the five features of this climate are
presented along with the reflective exercises for developing them
within a team. Coaches will see strategies in action, sample
conversations, and a variety of ways to implement the features of a
caring and task-involving experience. By describing how it may be
implemented and methods for overcoming possible challenges, this
book finally highlights how parents and sport administrators can
support the creation and preservation of caring and task-involving
climates. By helping teams develop caring climates that optimize
athletes' sport experience and performance, this book is essential
reading for coaches, sport administrators, parents, and sport
psychology practitioners. It will also be of great interest to
those who have minimal training in sport psychology, but who are
involved in sport at many levels, such as youth and high school.

First English-language collection from a leading poet in South
Korea. Kim Haengsook is one South Korea’s most eminent
contemporary poets, but a complete collection of her poems has
never appeared in English before now. This selection draws on her
work across her career and five books in Korean. Haengsook's poetic
spaces are shrouded in a magic fog that is clarifying instead of
obscuring. Built out of a language that incorporates a strategy of
what she calls "precise ambiguity," her work radiates outward like
great waves whose philosophical rhythm you can't help but get
caught in.
This book is written based on true clinical scenarios and consist
of actual conversation which will occur between patients and
doctors in a U.S. hospital. Readers can learn not only conducting a
conversation in medical English but also understand diagnostic
strategies and other clinical aspects of each disease as is done in
American hospitals.
