This book was released on 2018-05-16 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent decades, Korean communication and media have substantially grown to become some of the most significant segments of Korean society. Since the early 1990s, Korea has experienced several distinctive changes in its politics, economy, and technology, which are directly related to the development of local media and culture. Korea has greatly developed several cutting-edge technologies, such as smartphones, video games, and mobile instant messengers to become the most networked society throughout the world. As the Korean Wave exemplifies, the once small and peripheral Korea has also created several unique local popular cultures, including television programs, movies, and popular music, known as K-pop, and these products have penetrated many parts of the world. As Korean media and popular culture have rapidly grown, the number of media scholars and topics covering these areas in academic discourses has increased. These scholars’ interests have expanded from traditional media, such as Korean journalism and cinema, to several new cutting-edge areas, like digital technologies, health communication, and LGBT-related issues. In celebrating the Korean American Communication Association’s fortieth anniversary in 2018, this book documents and historicizes the growth of growing scholarship in the realm of Korean media and communication.

The role of education in these developments is explored in detail, along with both the positive and negative aspects of Korea’s vibrant new digital media.

Download or read book Public Diplomacy of South Korea written by Kuyoun Chung and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-05 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces South Korea’s public diplomacy and identifies and evaluates the goals and corresponding areas of. It discusses implication for the foreign policy of the current Yoon Suk Yeol administration under the competitive geopolitical landscape. By establishing political diplomacy, economic diplomacy, and public diplomacy as the three pillars of its diplomacy, South Korea has endeavored to enhance its international image and credibility, deepen foreign nationals’ understanding of South Korea’s foreign policy, and expand its soft power across the international community. However, as current U.S.–China competition continues to expand to the domains of the political system and its organizing values, middle powers are struggling to hedge the risk of competition between liberalism and anti-liberalism, which closely relates to every middle power’s state identity and potential coalitions used to pursue certain value via public diplomacy. With that context, the contributions to the book examine the public diplomacy of South Korea and its achievement, the range of domains that it prioritizes, and future directions for such diplomacy amid the competition of great powers. Focusing on the Yoon Suk-Yeol administration’s foreign policy goals and how public diplomacy has been adapted to this framework under the intensifying great power competition between the U.S. and revisionist powers, the book addresses the ideological dimension in the ongoing power to explain how countries’ respective alignments could affect South Korea’s ability to conduct public diplomacy. This book is a novel contribution to the field and will be of interest to researchers in international relations, South Korean foreign policy, and Asian politics.
