De-Bordering Korea

As tensions remain on the Korean peninsula, this book looks back on the decade of improved inter-Korean relations and engagement between 1998 and 2008, now known as the `Sunshine Policy¿ era. Moving beyond traditional economic and political perspectives, it explores how this decade of intensified cooperation both affected and reshaped existing physical, social and mental boundaries between the two Koreas, and how this `de-bordering¿ and `re-bordering¿ has changed the respective attitudes towards the other.
