Papers in the special section in this issue explore the varied industrial and diplomatic strategies undertaken by the South Korean government, particularly focused on digital communications and policies towards the support of entrepreneurs and startups. They also address, helpfully building on past writing in our journal, South Korean diplomatic engagements and interactions with the countries of Central Asia (Uzbekistan in these cases). Further papers in this issue consider the work of South Korean Protestant missionaries in the religious milieu of post-Soviet Russia, the diplomatic endeavours of King Kojong at the end of the19th century, and the continued and adapted cultural celebrations and practices of Koreans living in Russia's Pimorye (Primorsky) region. The European Journal of Korean Studies Vol 22 (1) also offers a review of some of the most intriguing recent book-length writing, including a review of Heonik Kwon and Jun Hwan Park's Spirit Power: Politics and Religion in Korea’s American Century.
