Reviews

' Fictional International Relations may sound like an oxymoron, but it isn't. Reading Sungju Park-Kang's innovative case study of the mysterious cold war downing of flight KAL 858 makes me realize anew how much we all try to make sense of politics amidst uncertainty, how much we employ imagination to make that sense, and how much a feminist curiosity aids us in that daunting effort. I recommend Fictional International Relations to all readers who are candid enough to admit that international politics is riddled with uncertainties.' -- Cynthia Enloe, Clark University, USA 'The most important part which I liked in the book was that the author, while compiling his case study, also summarised his limitations in the penultimate chapter, leaving the final chapter as a fictional ending, nudging the realm of the imaginary character 'Olight Jung' to take up the case once again.' -- Sadaf Iqbal, Political Studies Review
