Divided Dynamism presents a cogent and comprehensive review of the
political and unification policies of separated nations. This book
relates a brief historical capsule about each divided nation,
illustrates the socio/economic dynamic of the divide, and offers a
searing and poignant political synthesis for future unification
options. Exploring the unique roads to national unity, John J.
Metzler studies each individual state and looks at diplomatic
relations in their historical context and economic aid as a foreign
policy program. He presents each country's official view of
reunification and offers different scenarios for both Korean and
Chinese reunification. Divided Dynamism provides an invaluable
record of the dynamics of modern politics in the post-Cold War era.
The book also explores the lessons learned from Germany's
reunification and what this means for both Korea and China.
The trans-Atlantic gap between America and Europe widened in the
countdown to and in the aftermath of the 2003 Iraq War. A vitriolic
political standoff concerning Iraq brought severe stress to
relations between the Bush Administration and many key Western
European allies, especially France and Germany, creating a chasm of
misperceptions deepened by incessant media hype. Sadly, stereotypes
still abound. In an atmosphere where trans-Atlantic ties are viewed
not through the prism of policy, but rather through that of emotion
- where shrill polemical accounts of the USA vs. Euroland create a
self-fulfilling prophecy, this book brings back a needed balance to
the debate: are the USA and Europe really at odds? Trans-Atlantic
Divide: The USA/Euroland Rift? presents a historical view woven
with context, infused with informed commentary, and presented with
clarity. The book outlines a contrarian and realistic view that
offers a clear common ground for both sides, as illustrated in
booming business, trade, and tourism relations between the USA and
the EU. In spite of the unavoidable diplomatic residue following
the Iraq war, American relations with Europe remain unquestionably
vital for commercial, cultural, and geo-political reasons.
Divided Dynamism presents a cogent but comprehensive review of the
unification policy goals of two divided East Asian states, Korea
and China. Utilizing the classic case study of German unity and its
ongoing implications and costs, the book explores the diplomatic
relations of South and North Korea, and the People's Republic of
China/Republic of China on Taiwan. Viewing the historical settings,
the current context, the political justifications, and the future
durability of the divide in each of the different cases, this book
explores the unique roads to national unity. It equally provides a
framework of necessary and often difficult to find background data
on the countries considered. Moreover, this volume presents various
scenarios that may lead to either Korean or Chinese unity. Divided
Dynamism relates an interdisciplinary case study particularly
geared toward university comparative government and international
relations courses as well as policy makers.

This book presents a cogent but comprehensive review of Taiwan's
socio-economic transformation from a Japanese colony to a thriving
East Asian mini-state. Since the 1980's, Taiwan has primarily been
viewed as a thriving economic model. Though certainly true, this
assessment belies the amazing social and political success story
for 23 million people on a small New Hampshire-sized island just
off the China coast. Metzler highlights the engaging political
narrative of democratization as well as Taiwan's noteworthy
accomplishments despite the proximity and opposition of communist
China. Further, the result of the 2016 elections and its
implication are analyzed. Scholars studying East Asia and policy
makers will gain a greater appreciation for the island's dynamic,
prosperous resilience, despite pressure from China.
