Reconciling Divided States : Peace Processes in Ireland and Korea Paperback / softback
Edited by Dong Jin (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Kim, David (Trinity College Dublin, Ireland) Mitchell
Part of the Routledge Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book offers a distinctive perspective on peace processes by comparatively analysing two cases which have rarely been studied in tandem, Ireland and Korea. The volume examines and compares Ireland and Korea as two peace/conflict areas.
Despite their differences, both places are marked by a number of overlaid states of division: a political border in a geographical unit (an island and a peninsula); an antagonistic relationship within the population of those territories; an international relationship recovering from past asymmetry and colonialism; and divisions within the main groupings over how to address these relationships.
Written by academics and practitioners from Europe and East Asia, and guided by the concepts of peacebuilding and reconciliation, the chapters assess peace efforts at all levels, from the elite to grassroot organisations.
Topics discussed include: historical parallels; modern debates over the legacy of the past; contemporary constitutional and security issues; civil society peacebuilding in relation to faith, sport, and women’s activism; and the role of economic assistance.
The book brings Ireland and Korea into a rich dialogue which highlights the successes and shortcomings of both peace processesThis book will be of interest to students of Peace and Conflict Studies, Irish Politics, Korean Politics, and International Relations.
