In Bipolar Orders, Hyung Gu Lynn analyzes the processes driving both countries since the 1980s. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNorth Korea has experienced severe economic deterioration and increasing international isolation, while South Korea has undergone democratization and witnessed the emergence of a vibrant consumer culture. Paradoxically, this growing gap in ideologies and material standards has led to improved relations between the two countries. Why has this counterintuitive development occurred? Is North Korea really a threat, and if so, for whom? This book provides a substantive, accessible, and timely examination of the complex and compelling histories of the two Koreas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hyung Gu Lynn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1842777432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781842777435\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.44h x 5.53w x 0.57d","brand":"Hyung Gu Lynn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43984383017215,"sku":"9781842777435","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dabba284-05a2-41c6-a43a-885412cb32e5.jpg?v=1683271994","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bipolar-orders-hyung-gu-lynn-9781842777435","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
