- Synopsis
- Beginning in the 1990s, the alliance relationship between the United States and the Republic of Korea (South Korea) began to evidence greater signs of strain. In this volume, Shin (sociology, Stanford U. ) seeks to explain the reasons for the changing US-ROK relationship in terms of changes in the two countries' respective environments, in particular the end of the Cold War, the South Korean transition from authoritarianism to democracy, and the strategic reorientation spurred by the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. He also stresses the role of mutual perceptions in US-ROK relations and in understandings of North Korea as recorded in the print news media from 1992 to 2003, finding that for the client state of South Korea, the alliance is often related to the larger question of identity, while for the patron state, the US, it is largely a matter of specific policies.
