Description
- Abstract:
- The article examines differing South Korean views of the North from 1992 to 2003, the critical time of the post-cold war era, during which notions of national identity have been challenged. The central argument is that while U.S. officials approach North Korea as a matter of policy, North Korea and inter-Korean relations have been significant to the evolution of South Korean national identity. The sense of ethnic identity within discrete political systems has caused the two governments to contest political leadership of the national community. Experts on Korean affairs view South Korean media outlets as political actors whose campaigns for or against particular issues have contributed to South Koreans' shifting perceptions of the North.
