De-Bordering Korea
As tensions remain on the Korean peninsula, this book looks back on the decade of improved inter-Korean relations and engagement between 1998 and 2008, now known as the ‘Sunshine Policy’ era.

Publisher Description
Les deux Corées
Pour la première fois, Questions internationales consacre un dossier complet aux deux Corées. Après un conflit sanglant (1950-1953) et la partition de la Péninsule suivant le 38e parallèle, les deux frères ennemis n'ont à ce jour toujours pas fait la paix et la perspective d'une réunification semble s'éloigner. Ce numéro propose de multiplier les angles offrant une mise en perspective historique mais aussi analyses de la réussite économique sud-coréenne, de la puissance nucléaire de Pyongyang, de l'évolution des deux régimes politiques opposés sans oublier le phénomène religieux et les outils du soft power.

In a ‘post-everything’ world, we have felt more pain than happiness in building and tampering with borders. The term ‘border’ has been expanded to become a ploy for grim, chauvinistic, self-flattery, and ultra-nationalist bigotry. We have also faced notorious coverage of the ‘border’ in the media worldwide, and its diverse forms have been extensively deployed in cinema and literature. Centering on a wide range of literary and cinematic genres, the contributors to this volume explore and explain distinct theoretical and scholarly arguments to promote research on literary, linguistic, and media representations of the word ‘border.’
Diasporic Returns to the Ethnic Homeland
This book examines Korean cases of return migrations and diasporic engagement policy.

The project’s primary audience includes academics and policy makers with an interest in regional politics, migration, diaspora, citizenship, and Korean studies.
