"An engaging history covering a century of conflict on the Korean Peninsula Korea at War recounts how two separate nations emerged on the Korean peninsula as the result of devastating conflicts involving provocative personalities and superpower intrigues. The topics covered in this fascinating book include: The brutal years of Japanese colonial rule which began with Japan's annexation of Korea and ended with its defeat in World War II--and which still dominate Japanese-Korean relations today The division of the country into a totalitarian North and a prosperous, democratic South North Korea's invasion of the South, motivated by Stalin, which led to the bloody Korean War--a conflict that is still not settled to this day The irascible General Douglas MacArthur, who was relieved of his command by President Truman when he disobeyed a direct order and attempted to expand the war into China The rise of the Kim regime in North Korea and the continuing threat of nuclear war today Historian Michael J. Seth explores these and other themes including the complete story of North Korea--a nation and a people who for three generations have lived under the world's most repressive regime. He also discusses how South Korea has made the incredible leap from one of the world's poorest nations to one its richest and most dynamic. Korea at War is the story of two nations with a shared past that could hardly be more different today. With over 50 color photographs and maps, this book is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand contemporary Asian politics and current affairs"--

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Region: Ferner Osten, Note: 1,7, Hochschule Fulda (Sozialwissenschaften), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Kaum ein Konflikt der Welt ist so brisant und spannungsgeladen wie der auf der Koreanischen Halbinsel. An der am stärksten bewachten Grenze der Welt wird ein jahrzehntelanger Konflikt zwischen zwei ehemals verbrüderten Staaten ausgetragen, dessen Folgen bis heute andauern. Die Debatte um die koreanische Wiedervereinigung sorgt seit jeher nicht nur auf der Halbinsel für Zündstoff, auch im globalpolitischen Raum ist man sich über das Verfahren mit Nordkorea weitgehend uneinig. Gespräche über eine mögliche Wiedervereinigung finden statt ¿ doch ist die Stimmungslage des nordkoreanischen Machtinhabers Kim Jong Un mehr als wankelmütig. Gestern noch nukleare Aufrüstung und Raketentests vor der Küste Nordkoreas mit Geschossen, die das nordamerikanische und europäische Festland mühelos erreichen könnten, heute ein besonnenes Gipfeltreffen mit Südkorea unter dem Beteuern, künftig auf militärische Provokationsaktionen verzichten zu wollen, ja sogar mit dem gegenseitigen Versprechen einer gänzlichen Denuklearisierung der Halbinsel. Dieses politische Tauziehen lässt die Welt immer wieder den Atem anhalten, sei es vor der Aussicht auf einen positiven politischen Paradigmenwechsel oder unguter Vorahnung auf eine potentielle Eskalation, und sich fragen, wieso es beide koreanischen Staaten bislang nach mehr als 60 Jahren in der politischen Grauzone des Waffenstillstands noch nicht zu einer endgültigen Lösung, oder zumindest einer entscheidenden Annäherung im Konflikt gebrachthaben.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2018 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Kultur, Technik und Völker, Note: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (Soziologie), Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Als ich mich im Sommer 2016 dazu entschloss, in ein Flugzeug zu steigen, meine Familie und Freunde, meine Routine und alles Vertraute in Deutschland zu lassen, war mir ehrlich gesagt nicht bewusst, in welches Abenteuer ich mich stürzen würde. So mancher mag meinen, dass die Jahre, die ich vor meiner Abreise mit dem Wälzen von Texten Bordieus, Simmels, Goffmans und Essers verbracht hatte, mich auf ein so großes Abenteuer am anderen Ende der Welt vorbereitet hätten. Und dennoch warf mich nichts mehr in eine absolute existenzielle Krise als die entzauberte Welt, wie Weber sie nannte, höchstpersönlich. Mein Flugticket brachte mich nämlich nicht nach Norwegen, Spanien oder Amerika. Nein, meine Boeing 777 landete am 25. August 2016 in Seoul, der Hauptstadt Südkoreas und ließ mich folglich eines der ältesten Phänomene der Migrationssoziologie am persönlichen Leibe erfahren: Das Phänomen des Fremdsein. Genau deshalb möchte ich Sie darum bitten, meine 14 Monate in Südkorea nicht als belangloses Auslandsjahr anzusehen, sondern als ein soziologisches Experiment. Ein Experiment an niemand geringerem als mir selbst. Ein Experiment, das aufzeigt wie Soziologie in der Praxis funktioniert. Das beweist wie schnell sich ein Individuum durch das Umwerfen des Bekannten in einer Identitätskrise befindet und vor allem: Wie es damit umgeht.

In this fully illustrated introduction, Dr Carter Malkasian provides a concise overview of the so-called "Forgotten War" in Korea.From 1950 to 1953, the most powerful countries in the world engaged in a major conventional war on the Korean peninsula. Yet ironically this conflict has come to be known as the USA's "Forgotten War." Korean War historian Dr Carter Malkasian explains how this conflict in a small peninsula in East Asia had a tremendous impact on the entire international system and the balance of power between the two superpowers, America and Russia. In this illustrated history, he examines how the West demonstrated its resolve to thwart Communist aggression and the armed forces of China, the Soviet Union and the United States came into direct combat for the only time during the Cold War. Updated and revised for the new edition, with specially commissioned color maps and new images throughout, this is a detailed introduction to a significant turning point in the Cold War.

Kim offers unique insight into the deeper political dynamics of Korean social policy by analysing the relationship between the broader context of East Asian commonality and the unique circumstances of Korea.

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2017 in the subject Business economics - Market research, grade: A+, Universiti Brunei Darussalam, language: English, abstract: This study aims to explore the potentials of producing halal food products in Korea as halal animal meat manufacturing facility at primary stage; and to examine the viability of developing halal food manufacturing industry. There are about 1.6 billion Muslim population in the world, which is one fifth of the world population, and they are not only within the confines of the Arabian Gulf states but widespread all around the world. Followed by an analysis conducted by Pew Research Center, Muslim population make up about 23% of the world¿s population and is expected to reach 26.4% of in a decade¿s time, which is equivalent to 10 per cent annual growth of the industry. Muslim communities were created by ties of Islam that bound all Muslims together, requiring them to comply with the basic requirement of the religion in their way of life. However, diversity may be identified among Muslims by differences in appearance, culture, customs and lifestyle through the spread of Islam. Along with the widespread and rapid growth of Muslim population globally, halal industry is highlighted as a significant growing industry ¿ a new ¿Blue ocean¿ in global market. According to the Oxford Dictionary of Islam, Halal refers to ¿lawful¿ and ¿permissible¿ in Islamic law, which recognised as a standard for food, products, behaviours and services that are allowed for Muslims to consume. Initially, halal industry seems only relevant to Muslim-majority countries, however, it is now increasingly spreading to non-Islamic nation-states. Muslim consumers identify halal food and non-food products as obligatory to consume and use, and non-Muslim consumers often recognise halal food and non-food products as good quality (Riaz & Chaudry, 2004) and healthy because they are specially processed with strict requirements to prevent harms and for the highest standards of Tahara ¿ physical sense of purity, hygiene and quality. Halal certification increasingly gains its trust globally, not only as a religious matter of choice but as a method of accreditation of safety, for example, Malaysian government requests all halal certification applicants to submit Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) to ascertain the safety of food to be consumed.

Taking a transnational approach to the study of film culture, this book draws on ethnographic fieldwork in a South Korean university film club to explore a cosmopolitan cinephile subculture that thrived in an ironic unevenness between the highly nationalistic mood of commercial film culture and the intense neoliberal milieu of the 2000s. As these time-poor students devoted themselves to the study of film that is unlikely to help them in the job market, they experienced what a student described as 'a different kind of fun', while they appreciated their voracious consumption of international art films as a very private matter at a time of unprecedented boom in the domestic film industry. This unexpectedly vibrant cosmopolitan subculture of student cinephiles in neoliberal South Korea makes the nation's film culture more complex and interesting than a simple nationalistic affair.

Im südkoreanischen Gyeongju sind im gesamten Stadtgebiet Grabhügel des Königreichs Silla zu finden. Viele dieser Hügel wurden, nachdem sie lange Zeit vergessen waren, in den 1970er Jahren wieder errichtet, um ein Band zwischen dem Südkorea unter der Herrschaft von Präsident Park Chung-Hee und dem als reich und mächtig glorifizierten Königreich Silla (57 v. Chr. bis 935) zu knüpfen. - Für die Olympischen Sommerspiele 1972 in München wurde der Große Schuttberg als wesentliches Element eines Landschaftsparks umgestaltet. Die gesamte Anlage war darauf ausgelegt, eine weltoffene Bundesrepublik zu präsentieren. Unter dem gepflegten Rasen ruhen die Trümmer der im Zweiten Weltkrieg zerstörten Gebäude. In Fotografien und Texten beschreibt Ina Kwon ihre Reisen und Recherchen zu diesen beiden Orten, an denen mit künstlichen Hügeln Geschichte verschüttet, aufgedeckt, konstruiert und umgeschrieben wird. Das Buch besteht aus zwei Teilen - Gyeongju / München die gegeneinander gesetzt und gedreht sind. Ina Kwon ist Grafik-Designerin. Sie studierte an der HGB Leipzig und war Researcher an der Jan van Eyck Academie.--In Gyeongju, South Korea, tumuli dating back to the Kingdom of Silla can be found all over the city. After years in oblivion, many of these burial mounds were reconstructed in the 1970s in a bid to link President Park Chung-Hee's South Korea with the Kingdom of Silla (57 BC - AD 935), a period that was traditionally glorified as rich and powerful. - For the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, the city's Schuttberg, a great pile of rubble left behind by World War II, was recast as an essential element of a landscape park. The entire complex was laid out on it with the idea of showing West Germany as being open to the world. The debris of the buildings destroyed in the war is buried under the park's manicured grass. Ina Kwon uses photographs and texts to depict her travels and describe the research she carried out in these two locations, in which artificial hills are deployed to bury, expose, construct and rewrite history. The book consists of two sections-Gyeongju and Munich-which are printed in juxtaposition at 180° to one another so that the book can be read from either direction.Ina Kwon is a graphic designer. She studied at the Leipzig Academy of Fine Arts (HGB) and was a researcher at the Jan van Eyck Academie.

When Asia Welcomed the World tells the story of the 2002 World Cup, a tournament that will be remembered for many reasons, from heart-warming stories to dark accusations. The book resurrects the great characters that lit up 2002's biggest footballing stage, including Ronaldo, Oliver Kahn, David Beckham and Ru?tu Recber, as well as humbling defeats for the game's giants at the hands of comparative minnows. It also explores the tournament's controversies and issues that arose before it had even begun. This was Asia's first ever World Cup, with South Korea and Japan also acting as the continent's first ever co-hosts. The tournament's legacy has proved to be a divisive one, but it has remained ingrained in football's collective memory for 20 years and will continue to do so.

Seoul Glow tells the story of the Great Britain men's hockey team who won gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Little to the team's knowledge, the final caught the British public's imagination as they beat rivals West Germany in the gold-medal match. After Sean Kerly's semi-final heroics and Imran Sherwani's double in the final, BBC commentator Barry Davies uttered the now infamous line: 'Where were the Germans? But, frankly, who cares?' Victory, for a team of amateurs, who had either quit their jobs or taken holiday to play in Seoul, propelled the team to celebratory heights on their return to British shores; it was GB's first hockey gold in the post-war era and followed an eight-year plan for a major title. The story also reveals how the team was inspirationally led by the late Roger Self, the manager who gelled his players into Olympic title holders.
