Media technologies for play have become major industries in Japan
and South Korea. Even in North Korea, citizens bypass the state to
enjoy popular culture. At the same time, corporations and
governments encourage people to produce economic values through
play. The first comparative study of media technologies in Japan
and the two Koreas, this book illuminates the peculiar geopolitical
relations between the three countries through their development and
use of digital technologies. Drawing from political economy,
cultural studies and technology studies, this book will be
essential reading for researchers and students of media
technologies and popular culture in Northeast Asia.
The North Korean nuclear issue has been one of the most significant
challenges to international peace and security in the 21st century.
The failure to peacefully resolve the issue could trigger regional
instability or even nuclear warfare in the worst scenario. Since
its first successful nuclear test in 2006, North Korea has
repeatedly defied the international community regarding its nuclear
program despite the effort and resources that the international
community has focused on the issue. Many consider Pyongyang
decision-makers irrational or simply crazy. Nonetheless, since
early 2018, North Korea has drastically changed its foreign policy
and actively pursued rapprochement. How to understand DPRK foreign
policy, its past, and future? How will the nuclear issue develop
under a possibly new paradigm of North Korean foreign policy? This
book seeks to provide readers with a comprehensive analysis of
North Korean foreign relations. As the existing analysis and
literature on North Korean foreign relations focus primarily on
China, the United States, South Korea, and Japan, but such analysis
ignores the DPRK’s relations with many other states and
organizations that not only interact with North Korea nevertheless
also play important roles in its strategy of surviving in the
international systems.
