Description
Despite witnessing phenomenal economic growth and the spread of democratization in recent decades, as well as impressive intra-regional exchanges and interactions in the economic and cultural spheres, the Northeast Asian region still experience wounds from past wrongs that were committed in times of colonialism, war and dictatorship.
Overcoming these historical animosities has become one of the most pressing issues of the future for the region.
Of all the countries in the Northeast Asia region coping with this historical injustice, the Republic of Korea stands out as both a victim and an aggressor.
Being a nation that has addressed issues of both internal and external injustice, Korea becomes the focus of this volume.
Using examples of injustice from the colonial and the Second World War period, the Korean civil War, the current stage of Korean transitional justice and broader regional and global perspectives, the book concludes with a section on forward-looking approaches for arriving at reconciliation in the Asian region.
This is a significant book that will be of huge interest to anyone studying East Asian politics, history or society.
