Koreans historically consider their country as a victim of foreign
powers - sometimes seeing themselves as a shrimp among whales. In fact,
Korea's national status has to a great extent been determined by the
historical rivalries between the great powers. This collection of
essays, produced over time by one of Korea's leading political
scientists, probes many of the fundamental post-Korean-War issues South
Korea has wrestled with in the context of its foreign policy positions,
not least the question of how it actually defines its foreign policy,
its relationship with the United States, and the ever-present security
issues. Other essays examine the role of the US on the Korean peninsula
after the end of the Cold War; what policy directions South Korea should
take towards North Korea; what is North Korea's security policy; and
what are the conditions for reunification. This thought-provoking volume
provides a valuable overarching framework towards a more informed
understanding of how South Korea's relationship with the outside world
has evolved in the twentieth century and the manner in which it is
likely to do business in the twenty-first.
