Book Description
Korea 2010: Politics, Economy and Society contains concise overview articles covering domestic developments and the economy in both South and North Korea as well as inter-Korean relations and foreign relations of the two Koreas in 2009. A detailed chronology complements these articles. South Korea-related refereed articles in the 2010 edition of the yearbook deal with the restoration of the Ch’ōnggyech’ōn River in Seoul, the role of think tanks in the discourse on East Asia, the economic policy response to the global financial crisis, the ‘green growth’ policy of the Lee Myung-bak government, economic relations with India, and the ‘Manchurian western’ genre in South Korean cinema. Additional refereed articles provide a meta-analysis of North Korean migration to China and South Korea and illuminate representations of the Korean War in North and South Korean children’s literature.
Editorial Reviews
Review
… the chapters in this volume are commendable for drawing attention to issues that, while important, do not normally merit space in English-speaking volumes on South Korea.”
