Description: South Korea's Changing Foreign Policy
South Korea's Changing Foreign Policy
Worldcat Site
This volume by Wonjae Hwang helps us understand South Korea’s postwar rise from nearly complete international isolation to a position of international influence by focusing on two of the factors that were important in this transition, globalization and South Korea’s transition from authoritarianism to democracy. It is required reading not just for scholars interested in the international rise of South Korea but for anyone who is interested in understanding how such processes as globalization and democratization can be embraced in a way that will assist leaders to advance their nation’s international status.

South Korea's Changing Foreign Policy
1 - South Korea
South Korea's Changing Foreign Policy
Democratization and globalization are the two most important terms that define modern Korean politics, both domestic and international. As such, a great many scholars have examined the background, causes, processes, and consequences of democratization and globalization in South Korea. Nevertheless, not much has been done to analyze the impact of these two factors on Korea’s foreign policies....

    6 - Paradoxical Consequence of Globalization on Domestic Politics
    South Korea's Changing Foreign Policy
    In chapter 6, I explore how globalization has brought about a paradoxical consequence with respect to the relations between domestic and international politics. On the one hand, globalization and its associated neo-liberal reforms weakened the power of the government over the market. In addition, thanks to the end of the Cold War, the domestic politics of South Korea are no longer constrained as...

    South Korea's Changing Foreign Policy
    A notable case through which we can examine the impact of Korea’s economic integration on foreign policy cooperation with its economic partner is Japan. Between 1991 and 2012, Japan and Korea were each other’s second- and third-largest trading partners. According to the trade-cooperation thesis, trade tends to increase common interests and mutual understanding of diverse foreign policy...

    South Korea's Changing Foreign Policy
    Does Official Development Assistance (ODA), which is the most common type of foreign aid, generate positive political effects on the relationship between donors and recipients? While foreign aid is in principle designed to provide help to recipients in trouble, it is well known that this benevolent action tends to promote political cooperation between donors and recipients (Dreher and Sturm 2012;...
