Excerpt: There is a dispute over using the name "Sea of Japan" to refer to the sea bordered by Russia, Japan, North Korea, and South Korea. Although Sea of Japan, or equivalent translations, are commonly used in international productions, North and South Korea are proposing different names. North Korea proposes the "East Sea of Korea" and South Korea proposes the "East Sea", instead of, or as a name concurrent with, "Sea of Japan". South Korean groups argue that "East Sea" should be implemented as a historically and geographically appropriate name, claiming that the sea was known as "Sea of Korea/Corea/Joseon" or "East/Oriental Sea" until Japan's military expansion in the region. They insist the title "Sea of Japan" was unfairly standardized during Japanese rule of Korea, and thus remains a symbol of Japan's imperialistic past. Korea argues that during the critical period for asserting the name East Sea in the international arena, Korea was militarily occupied by Japan and Korea's sovereignty was less influential and therefore had no diplomatic representation on the global stage. Koreans were forced to surrender the use of their native language under the Japanese rule (1938~), and adopted Japanese names (1940~), while Korean geographical names including the East Sea (Donghae - /) were dropped in favour of Japanese ones. Korea's position is that while "Sea of Korea" is actually the more common historical European name, "East Sea", without referenc...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=182242 ... Read more

Description:
In this paper, I seek to examine the ways in which the sovereign territoriality of the state has been contested and (re)constructed in relation to globalization and economic liberalization, especially in the context of the East Asian developmental state. In particular, by building on Aiwa Ong's concept of ''graduated sovereignty'', I will address how the forms of state regulation and sovereignty can be spatially differentiated or graduated within a national territory, with a focus on the spatial processes of economic liberalization in South Korea. In focusing on a recent globalization project of the Korean government, which aims to develop global hubs of international movement of capital and skilled labor in several localities by designating these ''economic free zones'', my analytical focus in this paper is on answering this question: Why and under what political and economic circumstance has the Korean government decided to use this spatial strategy? More specifically, I argue in this paper that the strategy of building ''special economic zones'' in South Korea is partly a spatial outcome of East Asian ''neo-liberalization'', stemming from politically contested interactions between inherited institutional forms and policy frameworks of the developmental state, and the emergent forces of economic liberalization. In other words, the Korean government's project to build ''economic free zones'' can be considered a strategy of ''spatially selective liberalization''; it demonstrates strong properties of path dependency, in which established institutional arrangements constrain the scope and trajectory of neo-liberal reform in South Korea. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars This is a comprehensive overview of South Korea that will nicely introduce the student to the country, its culture and people!
It's always interesting to learn about other countries, especially if you know someone who has relatives who live there or is of that particular national descent.South Korea is a country in Asia on the Korean peninsula, a land mass that holds North Korea as well.The surrounding waters include the Yellow Sea, the Sea of Japan and the Korean Strait.If you look on the map in this book you can easily spot where Seoul, its capital city is, where the mountains and plains are and in the inset map you can see where South Korea is in relation to other Asian countries.There are "more than one thousand islands [that] lie off the peninsula.You will learn a bit about the islands of Ulleungdo and Jeju as well as South Korea's mountain ranges.

About 30,000 years ago people may have begun to inhabit South Korea.It is known that "Central Asians moved to the Korea Peninsula about five thousand years ago."Archaeological digs have taught us a lot about these people.In this book you will get a well-rounded overview of the country.You will learn about its people, the geography, family life and values, you'll learn about their religions, their special holidays, the foods ("rice is the main course"), the importance placed on education, you'll learn about their sports, crafts, clothing, traditional and modern music, where the people live and much more.Perhaps if you have tried to make an origami crane, you know that "the crane is a symbol of good luck."

This is a comprehensive overview of South Korea that will nicely introduce the student to the country, its culture and people.I liked the vibrant layout and the numerous full color photographs scattered throughout its pages.This is a simple introduction to the country for the 9 to 12-year-old student and is not meant to be encyclopedic.The author did a wonderful job in trying to touch on many of the most important facets of this country history and peoples.There are many interesting sidebar materials that include fun things like the mud baths and a more serious glimpse of the Demilitarized Zone.In the back of the book is a section of "Fast Facts," an index, a glossary, and additional recommended book and website resources. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan - East Asia’s newly industrialized economies (the NIE-3) - experienced a profound development transformation over recent decades. Christopher Dent makes a comparative study of their foreign economic policies, highlighting how the NIE-3 have engaged with the international economic system in an increasingly dynamic way. The book, now available in paperback, develops a new macro-framework of foreign economic policy analysis that provides the structure for this study.

The author argues that the ‘development context’ of the NIE-3’s foreign economic policies is grounded in their common development statism and semi-peripheralization. He further contends that it is the pursuit of economic security that primarily motivates their respective foreign economic policies.

This new conceptualization of economic security in the context of foreign economic policy will appeal to academics, researchers and students in a wide range of disciplines including: Asian studies, international relations, international political economy, economics and politics. ... Read more
