Giving equal weight to North and South Korea, this book traces the history of political and economic development and international relations of the Korean Peninsula, showing how South Korea became democratized and how Juche ideology has affected the establishment and operation of a totalitarian system in North Korea. Written in a straightforward, jargon-free manner, this textbook utilizes both historical-institutional approaches and quantitative evidence to analyze the political dimensions of a wide variety of issues including : legacies of Japanese colonial rule (1910-1945) and the Korean War (1950-1953); South Korean democratization and democratic consolidation; South Korean diplomacy and North Korean nuclear crises; the economic development of both North and South Korea; the three-generation power succession in North Korea; North Korean human rights issues; inter-Korean relations and reunification.
