Divided Korea

"Expanding the discussion beyond geopolitics and ideology, Divided Korea places peninsular tensions in the context of an ongoing struggle over competing forms of identity. In the process Bleiker examines both domestic and international sources of conflict, the legacy of war, and the possibilities for reconciliation." "Divided Korea challenges the prevailing logic of confrontation and deterrence, embarking on a fundamental reassessment of both the roots of the conflict and the means to achieve a more stable political environment and, ultimately, peace."--BOOK JACKET.
