One Alliance, Two Lenses: U.S.-Korea Relations in a New Era

Gi-Wook Shin, "One Alliance, Two Lenses: U.S.-Korea Relations in a New Era "
English | ISBN: 0804763682 | 2010 | 296 pages | EPUB | 3 MB

One Alliance, Two Lenses examines U.S.-Korea relations in a short but dramatic period (1992–2003) that witnessed the end of the Cold War, South Korea's full democratization, inter-Korean engagement, two nuclear crises, and the start of the U.S. war on terror. These events have led to a new era of challenges and opportunities for U.S.-South Korea (ROK) relations.
