Abstract

This book examines how different visions of Korean unification have been formed and contested across history, politics, and culture. From Cold War propaganda to digital diplomacy, or from South Korea’s democratic reforms to North Korea’s Juche ideology, the volume illustrates how unification is regarded as both hope and threat, promise and peril. By comparing Korea with other divided societies such as Germany and Cyprus, the book shows how narratives shape diplomacy, identity, and the prospects for reconciliation.
