But, as this first in-depth study of inter-Korean sporting life and competition over more than six decades clearly demonstrates, sport has in fact been held hostage to the ups and downs of inter-Korean political relations. The two Koreas have devoted considerable resources to developing sporting systems and securing sporting achievement globally, with important ramifications for both national pride and inter-Korean rivalry. And while the author accepts that sport and politics are close allies wherever one travels in the world, it remains the case that for the two Koreas sport plays a more significant central role in the context of the vicissitudes of the relationship across the 38th parallel and has considerable repercussions on sporting ambitions and development for both countries. This book has wide inter-disciplinary relevance in the context of Korean studies in particular and East Asian politics and international relations in general ? with special reference to the phenomenon of ?two-state rivalry? as was or still is the case for Germany, Yemen, Vietnam and China/Taiwan. Those pursuing sports studies in an international context will also find this volume invaluable. 606 $aNationalism and sports 606 $aSports and globalization 606 $aSports$zKorea (North) 606 $aSports$zKorea (South) 607 $aKorea (North)$xPolitics and government 607 $aKorea (North)$xSocial life and customs 607 $aKorea (South)$xPolitics and government 607 $aKorea (South)$xSocial life and customs 615 0$aNationalism and sports. 615 0$aSports and globalization. 615 0$aSports 615 0$aSports 676 $a796.09519 700 $aBridges$b Brian$f1948-$0637052 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910827057003321 996 $aThe two Koreas and the politics of global sport$94022820 997 $aUNINA
