The synergy of global transformations has now brought to an end Korea's proverbial identity and role as the helpless shrimp among whales, and both North Korea and South Korea have taken on new roles in the process of redefining and projecting their national identities. Synthetic national identity theory offers a useful perspective on change and continuity in Korea's turbulent relationships with the great powers over the years. Following a review of Korean diplomatic history and competing theoretical approaches, along with a synthetic national-identity theory as an alternative approach, one chapter each is devoted to how Korea relates to the four powers in turn, and the book concludes with a consideration of inter-Korean relations and potential reunification. 517 3 $aThe Two Koreas & the Great Powers 606 $aWorld politics$y21st century 607 $aKorea (South)$xPolitics and government 607 $aKorea (North)$xPolitics and government 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y21st century 607 $aEast Asia$xForeign relations 615 0$aWorld politics 676 $a327.519 700 $aKim$b Samuel S.$f1935-$01042617 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457569703321 996 $aThe two Koreas and the great powers$92466976 997 $aUNINA
