Identity Politics and Policy Disputes in U.S.–Korea Relations
Gi-Wook Shin looks at major American and Korean newspapers and argues that the United States and Korea have developed different lenses through which they view their relationship. Shin argues that U.S.–ROK relations, linked to the issue of national identity for Koreans, are largely treated as a matter of policy for Americans—a difference stemming from each nationʼs relative power and role in the international system.
