Reviews

This volume by Wonjae Hwang helps us understand South Korea's postwar rise from nearly complete international isolation to a position of international influence by focusing on two of the factors that were important in this transition, globalization and South Korea's transition from authoritarianism to democracy. It is required reading not just for scholars interested in the international rise of South Korea but for anyone who is interested in understanding how such processes as globalization and democratization can be embraced in a way that will assist leaders to advance their nation's international status. -- Dennis Patterson, Texas Tech University South Korea's economic and political development is an amazing story, and Wonjae Hwang has produced an excellent study of how globalization has been an important factor in these two areas. South Korea's Changing Foreign Policy provides a fascinating assessment that shows the complex interplay of globalization with South Korea's domestic politics and foreign relations with a particularly interesting focus on the role of economics and security as it navigates relations with China and the United States. -- Terence Roehrig, United States Naval War College

Blending broad history with a series of well-focused quantitative analyses of trade, foreign aid, and UN voting, he shows how domestic politics and globalization explain South Korea's complex foreign policy, providing substantial insight into Korea's increasing global presence and its evolving role in Northeast Asian geopolitics. -- Jonathan Krieckhaus, University of Missouri
