Beskrivning
This book represents the first scholarly attempt to summarize and analyze how Korea’s relationship with Africa has been shaped in policy and non-policy aspects. It shows how far it has come and where it goes. The book recognizes that Korea-Africa relations, though relatively new, break ground by acknowledging the importance of a diligent endeavor to carry out post-colonial development, and have continued to grow as we find promising progress and opportunities in the mutual cooperation between the two. This book is all-inclusive, covering Korea’s academic, economic, diplomatic, and civil engagements with Africa. It investigates untold aspects of Korea-Africa relations.

Recensioner i media

“The book is a valuable contribution to existing scholarly works on South Korea–(sub-Sahara) Africa relations. Its merit is that it not only covers topics that usually receive little scholarly attention but that it also includes a section on North Korea’s relations with African countries (137–140), which is crucial for a better understanding of the subject matter. … the book is recommended to readers who are looking for a solid introduction to South Korea’s multi-layered relations with African countries.” (Sabine Burghart, Journal of Contemporary African Studies, June 17, 2021)
