The contrast in the perception of North and South Korea is closely connected with the stereotypes that have formed in the world consciousness over the decades of division of the Korean Peninsula. The media imbalance in the presentation of the images of the two states traps the average person in black-and-white thinking, where North Korea is a "tyrannical regime" and South Korea is a "paradise of globalization." But behind the common cliches lies a living and contradictory history of the two countries.
This book is a kind of educational program designed to debunk the myths surrounding the two Koreas in the mass consciousness. You will find an outline of the history of the Korean Peninsula, a story about the ideological foundations and their transformations, as well as about the paradoxical similarities of the North and South.
You will learn how a common past breaks through the cracks of ideological confrontation and where the path of dialogue between Seoul and Pyongyang leads when the whole world is waiting for an "explosion."
The book will be of interest to both a scientific audience (historians, political scientists, orientalists) and a wide range of readers who want to go beyond common clichés and begin their journey in understanding the rich history and complex political palette of Korea.
