About this book
This book departs from existing studies by focusing on the impact of international influences on the society, culture, and language of both North and South Korea. Since President Kim Young Sam’s segyehwa drive of the mid-1990s, South Korea has become a model for successful globalization. In contrast, North Korea is commonly considered one of the least internationally integrated countries. This characterization fails to account for the reality of the two Koreas and their global engagements. The opening essay situates the chapters by highlighting some significant contrasts and commonalities between the experiences of North and South Korea’s history of engagement with the world beyond the Peninsula. The chapters explore both the longer-term historical influence of Korea’s international contacts as well as specific Korean cultural, linguistic, and social developments that have occurred since the 1990s demise of the global Cold War and greater international integration.

Reviews
“This book represents a significant contribution to our understanding of issues regarding Korean culture, language and diasporas in the global era.” (Isaac Lee, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia)
“The book is an original contribution to the field since no edited volume so far examines both South Korea and North Korea under the framing of globalization. Andrew David Jackson’s introduction justifies this overall framing and its significance ... the chapters explore fascinating and new topics that will certainly be met with enthusiasm.” (Ji-yoon An, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore)
