Media and Politics in South Korea, 1960-2022
This book examines the constantly changing nature of the relationship between the state and the media within South Korea’s political landscape. It traces developments as South Korea became gradually more democratic in the decades after 1960, and goes on to consider more recent developments which include democratic erosion and the deepening political division and their effects on the media, including the paralleling of this deepening political division within the media itself.

The Despot's Guide to Wealth Management
An unprecedented new international moral and legal rule forbids one state from hosting money stolen by the leaders of another state.

The North Korea Problem
North Korea, as a nation, has been going down the road of self-discovery since they were severed from South Korea in 1953. Trying to identify themselves as a world class nation, they have built one of the larger armies in today’s world. This is the road they seem to feel must be taken to attain international stature. Most of the rest of the world sees it differently. The United States of America becomes aware of North Korea’s preparations to attack their homeland and are working toward a better dialog with the them. Having no success with diplomacy, the United Nations initiate sanctions to pressure the leaders of North Korea to back down with their nuclear and missile development. They do not. Sanctions present hardships for the people, but the leaders think they can force the world to accept them as a nation and they ignore them.

Afghanistan – Challenges and Prospects
After decades of turmoil a new phase is opening up for Afghanistan, in which a new generation comes to the fore as many of the key players from earlier phases, including foreign interventionist powers, leave the scene. Although this new phase offers new possibilities and increased hope for Afghanistan’s future, the huge problems created in earlier phases remain. This book presents a comprehensive overall assessment of the current state of politics and society in Afghanistan, outlining the difficulties and discussing the future possibilities. Many of the contributors are Afghans or Afghan insiders, who are able to put forward a much richer view of the situation than outside foreign observers.
