Story
Korea has a long, riveting history—it is also a divided nation. South Korea is a vibrant democracy, the tenth largest economy, and is home to a world-renowned culture. North Korea is ruled by the most authoritarian regime in the world, a poor country in a rich region, and is best known for the cult of personality surrounding the ruling Kim family. But both Koreas share a unique common history. Victor Cha and Ramon Pacheco Pardo draw on decades of research to explore the history of modern Korea, from the late nineteenth century, Japanese occupation, and Cold War division to the present day.

Story
The Korean Peninsula today is divided into two, but there was a time when this peninsula was divided into many states. Over the course of time, and besieged by expansive transient dynasties outside of this modest piece of land, many clans and tribes overran their lands. Of all those malicious and greedy potential overlords, none managed to prevail.

Story
Korea was one of the last countries in Asia to be visited by Westerners, and its borders have remained largely unchanged since it was unified in the seventh century. Though it is one of the world's oldest and most ethnically homogeneous states, Korea was not born in a vacuum. Geographically isolated, the country was heavily influenced by powerful China and was often used as a bridge to the mainland by Japan. Calling themselves as "a shrimp among whales", Koreans borrowed elements of government, culture, and religion, all the while fiercely fighting to maintain independence.

Story
South Korea's extraordinary economic and technological transformation after the Korean War (1950-1953) is often referred to by observers and historians as the "Miracle on the Han River." The nation underwent an astonishing makeover from being one of the poorest countries to become the 12th largest economy in the world and 4th in Asia. South Korea also became one of the most technologically advanced countries in a short span. As in other capitalist economies, some people have benefited from the economic and technological attainments, while others have been left out....

Hoy en día la península de Corea se divide en dos, pero hubo una época en la que esta península estaba dividida en muchos estados. Con el paso del tiempo, y el asedio de grandes dinastías extranjeras, estas tierras fueron invadidas por diversos clanes y tribus. Ninguno de todos esos poderosos y codiciosos caciques logró prevalecer.

There has been an exploding demand for native English speakers to come and teach English in South Korea. English programs and English academies have been spreading like wildfire, and in the ups and downs of the economy, university graduates, travelers, and people from all walks of life are packing their bags and taking advantage of the English boom. Korean institutions are paying good money and offering excellent benefits to Westerners who are willing to explore the unfamiliar, pack up their bags, and teach Korea.

Story
Despite the fact the border between North Korea and South Korea remains tense, and former President Bill Clinton once branded it the "scariest place on Earth," more than 7.5 million tourists have visited the notorious demilitarized zone for one reason or another. There, they gazed upon a treacherous but evidently intriguing strip of land, guarded by estranged brothers with a chilling array of weapons directed at one another at all times.

Story
Южная Корея, как правило, ассоциируется у нас с суперсовременными технологиями и транснациональными корпорациями, красивыми автомобилями и устремленными ввысь небоскребами, симпатичными певцами и певицами K-POP групп. Кажется, что эти образы пришли из будущего. Однако у этой красивой "обложки" есть и другая сторона: корейские СМИ полны рассказов про внутренние кризисы, скандалы, постоянную конкурентную гонку, сами корейцы часто жалуются на жизнь и, если верить опросам, весьма несчастны. Какой ценой дается восхищающий мир успех? Олег Кирьянов — журналист-международник, политолог, историк-кореевед, кандидат исторических наук.
