Description of  Korea and the Global Society (Routledge Research on Korea)

This book explores multiple fields and disciplines around the theme of South Koreas engagement and exchanges with global society focusing on development cooperation, migration and the media. The core of this volume is an analysis of South Koreas engagement and reciprocity in global society that has developed out of the countrys shift from aid recipient and migrant sender to aid provider and migrant host. The contributions approach this through the three main aspects of overseas aid, cross-border contacts, and interplay of identities in the mediascape. These themes represent an interdisciplinary array of research that introduces and analyses interconnected and concurrent instances of reciprocity, convergence, tension, inclusion, or exclusion in navigating South Koreas interactional relations with global society, spanning regions and countries including Africa, Asia, the USA, and Germany.
