Korea Briefing 1997-1999 Challenges and Change at the Turn of the Century

While mainly focusing on the Kim Dae Jung era, the essays in this latest edition of the Korea Briefing examine persistent problems and new opportunities in Korean politics, economy, and culture. With his election, President Kim inherited the daunting task of guiding the Korean economy out of its worst crisis since the Korean War. On the positive side, his election has opened new opportunities for Korea to resolve old problems and enter the ranks of fully developed and democratized nations.Oh, Kongdan is the author of 'Korea Briefing 1997-1999 Challenges and Change at the Turn of the Century' with ISBN 9780765606112 and ISBN 0765606119.
