Description
In Assessing the Landscape of Taiwan and Korean Studies in Comparison, the chapters offer a reflection on the state of the field of Taiwan and Korea Studies. For the editors, the volume's purpose was to identify not just their similarities, but also a reflection on their differences. Both have national identities formed in a colonial period. The surrender of Japan in 1945 ignited the light of independence for Korea, but this would be ideologically split within five years. For Taiwan, that end forced it into a born-again form of nationalism with the arrival of the Chinese Nationalists.
Taiwan and South Korea's economic development illustrate a progressive transition and key to understanding this is the relationship between 'modernization' and 'democracy'. By looking at Korea and Taiwan, the chapters in the volume broaden an understanding of the interconnectivity of the region.
