"Korea Briefing, 1990" initiates a series of comprehensive annual reviews of issues and events in the Republic of Korea and on the peninsula as a whole. In this inaugural volume, senior specialists focus on developments between 1987 and 1990, important transitional years for South Korea. The contributors assess the experiment in democracy and its effect on the economy and on society - including labour, students, dissidents, and the burgeoning middle class. They also describe and interpret the dramatic changes in foreign relations and in relations between North and South Korea. A special chapter covering recent trends in literature, art, and the performing arts shows how these are linked to the changing political atmosphere. Exploring the country's Confucian heritage, the final chapter depicts contemporary South Korea in terms of the creative tension between tradition and modernity. "Korea Briefing, 1990" provides both students and specialist with a useful overview of a rapidly changing society.

Asia

Westview Press

Events of recent years have revealed that the practical problem of Japanese-Korean diplomacy are complicated by underlying emotional issues. A proposed change in Japanese textbooks, which would have subdued criticism of imperial expansion into the Asian continent, elicited protests in Korea as well as China. In Japan, scholarly research into the Korean contribution to Japanese culture and history has sparked both support and opposition. Such seemingly peripheral issues played a significant role in the loan negotiations of 1981-1883, and, unless resolved, threaten to hinder future cooperation between these two peoples. Yet Japanese-South Korean cooperation has become increasingly important in the 1980s as the United States has pressured Japan and the ROK to assume more responsibility for their own defense. This book analyzes the political, psychological, and economic differences that divide two neighbors with common geopolitical concerns. Success or failure! in resolving those differences will, to a large degree, determine the nature of East Asia in the twenty first century.
