Recenzii

"A chronology of events, split into sections on South Korea, North Korea, and inter-Korean relations, opens the volume. This is followed by a core set of chapters: two offer detailed explorations of politics and economy in, first, South Korea, then North Korea; next comes an account of inter-Korean relations, then an account of foreign relations. In these, this reader’s enthusiasm is at times tested, but the reliability of the accounts is not in question, and the Yearbook’s real value, and the reason it will stay on library shelves for many years to come, is precisely these
opening 72 pages, since, put together over a number of years, they build into a detailed historical account."
Keith Howard, Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies 72, 3 (October 2009)
"Possibly 'the scoop' in this particular collection is the paper by C Kenneth Quinones entitled 'The US-DPRK 1994 Agreed Framework and the US Army's Return to North Korea'. How many general Koreanists knew that US military personnel have worked alongside DPRK soldiers in recovering the remains of nearly 500 US soldiers killed in the Korean war?'"
