The winners of the Second World War divided Korea, which had been liberated from Japanese colonial oppression, into two opposing nations. Today, we are accustomed to thinking of South Korea as a successful and open country, and North Korea as a reclusive nation, but their reputations have not always been this way. Theodore Jun Yoo, in his book "Two Koreas: The Birth of Divided Nations," explores the complex path that the two Korean republics have taken.
South Korea emerged on the map as one of the poorest countries in Asia, ruled by a series of dictators, while North Korea developed its economy and attracted defectors from the South. To understand how the modern identities of the two Koreas have formed, the author compares the political and economic development of the divided nations with the common trends of globalization and world history.
