Summary
"South Korean Engagement Policies and North Korea presents a fresh historical and theoretical exploration of the much-debated question of the Korean divide by examining the impact of engagement on the separated Korean peninsula. The new dynamics and anomalies of inter-Korean rapprochement generated by President Kim Dae-jung's Sunshine Policy are scrutinized using a conceptual framework of comprehensive engagement and similar containment and engagement policies implemented after the end of the Cold War." "Drawing on interviews with leading South Korea policymakers and utilizing new theoretical and empirical frameworks, South Korean Engagement Policies and North Korea provides a valuable study of engagement policy and its impact on the identities of a divided people that will be a key text for all academics in the field."--BOOK JACKET
