Despite historic summits and spectacular acts of reconciliation between the rival neighbours, promises of improved cross-border relations between North and South Korea have been slow to materialize. In this insightful book, Gabriel Jonsson examines the impact that increased levels of socio-cultural contact has had on inter-Korean relations, the concrete results that have been achieved and how such contact has contributed to closer relations and offers the prospect of reconciliation. With reference to lessons from the German and Yemeni unification, the book examines the development of inter-Korean relations and presents a fascinating view of South Korean perceptions of their neighbours. The book also details the wider political sphere of influence with an analysis of the positions of the United States, Japan, China and Russia on Korean unity. Based primarily on Korean language sources, this volume provides completely unique perspectives on Korean unity.

In 1991 South Korea, along with North Korea, was made an official member of the UN. Using international relations theory, this book begins by looking at the struggle and eventual impact of the membership on the two countries post division in 1948. It investigates the predicted outcomes prior to joining, and whether these outcomes have come to fruition nationally and on a global scale. Following this, there is focus on South Korea's ability to exert an influence on international decision making in world-politics, and how this affected inter-Korean relations. Importantly, analysis looks at how participation in the Security Council (1996-1997 and 2013-2014) further extended the country's capabilities to adopt resolutions, including those affecting North Korea's missile and nuclear programmes and human rights record. South Korea's participation in peacekeeping operations, Koreans appointed to high positions within the UN system and payments of the UN budget are also investigated. The study concludes with discussion of the role of the UN as a forum for international contacts and for providing knowledge otherwise unavailable to non-members.South Korea in the United Nations is unique in its analysis of South Korea's relations with the UN prior to and, above all, after 1991, thereby enhancing understanding of the significance of its UN membership as well as the importance of being a UN member. Suitable for scholars in Korean studies, international relations and East Asian politics, it can also be used as a reference work by policy-makers in the region, and for students and professionals working within the UN system.

När Gabriel Jonsson lagar mat är det skogens råvaror som agerar huvudperson. Vilt, svamp och fisk kompletterat med säsongens grönsaker. Att ta tillvara på det som finns i skog och mark och laga mat med det årstiden bjuder är hans passion. Och inte sällan är det tillbehören som gör det – vad vore livet utan en riktigt god sås? Här får du därför också lära dig att laga de klassiska såserna, göra egen pasta och ketchup. Och vad sägs om rätter som rådjurssadel med kroppkakor, rödvinssås och rårörda lingon eller gös med confiterad palsternackspuré, grillad purjolök och brynt smör med mandel – eller varför inte en ravioli med ramslök, ricotta och parmesan, just när ramslökens gröna blad spirar om våren och försommaren.

Although South Korea has accomplished a democratic transition, democratic consolidation has not been achieved. The study investigates this notion on the basis of criteria of democratic consolidation, how the presidents have fulfilled their promises on the deepening of democracy and how the Articles in the 1987 Constitution on democracy have been implemented. What developments support and disapprove this notion? The interaction between domestic politics and the implementation of the Constitution during the presidents’ five year terms in office is analyzed. Great consideration is put on the Confucian impact on politics and the short period of implementing democracy.

Tillfälligt slut

Chosôn är Koreas ursprungliga namn och betyder Morgonstillhetens land. Men stillhet är knappast vad som utmärker Koreahalvöns historia, eller dess samtid. Med sitt läge, mellan Kina och Japan, har Korea under årtusenden utgjort slagfält för främmande krigsherrars maktanspråk.

Det senaste exemplet är när Korea, efter andra världskriget, befriades från den japanska ockupationen, bara för att slitas sönder av världskrigets segrarmakter, USA och Sovjetunionen. Ur askan av Koreakriget på 1950-talet trädde Nord- och Sydkorea fram. Två länder med diametralt skilda samhällssystem, trots sin gemensamma kultur och historia.

Här får vi följa Koreahalvöns dramatiska utveckling från landets äldsta historia – med maktkamper mellan kungadömen, dynastier och aristokrati, strider med mongolerna, jordreformer och bondeuppror – till modern tid och situationen där halvön befinner sig mitt skärningspunkten för några av världens stora konflikter.

Gabriel Jonsson är docent i Koreas språk och kultur, verksam vid Stockholms universitet.

”Det är alldeles utmärkt att svenska läsare nu får tillgång till en fullmatad bok om Korea – det första svenska översiktsverket på över 20 år. Jag hoppas att boken finner många läsare och bidrar till att kunskapen om Korea växer och sprids.” Ur Klas Eklunds förord

Human Rights And Democratic Consolidation In South Korea

Has South Korea accomplished democratic consolidation since the Constitution was revised in 1987? Whereas political freedom has improved, the NSL is generally pointed out as the main obstacle to full freedom but it is not the only one to guarantee respect for human rights. Since full respect for human rights is not guaranteed, democratic consolidation has not been achieved. This book analyzes the issue based on the state of human rights that are an important part of democracy. The starting points are the 1948 UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the 1987 South Korean Constitution and the 2001 National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) Act which are empirically tested. Definitions of democratic consolidation are applied. The study first investiga- tes legislation and human rights institutions, including the National Security Law (NSL), the Con-stitutional Court, the NHRC, adherence to international human rights law and the Universal Periodic Review. Then the impact of inter-Korean relations on human rights are reviewed based on the NSL, dispatches of leaflets across the border and conscientious objectors. Finally, freedom of expression, assembly and association, including the state of sexual minorities, trials of ex-presidents, death penalty, human trafficking and torture are studied.
