This very timely volume addresses, front on, the issue of rising demonization and bad behavior in international relations. Focusing on the Korean peninsula but also pulling China and other countries into the frame, 18 authors from seven different countries share concerns, experiences and insights that underline a truth crucial to our times: that politics and culture cannot be separated. While East and West share commonalities, their individual cultures pursue differing values and norms that in turn inflect ideas about power and authority, self and society, right and wrong, and consequently about what is good and what is bad. Failure to understand and manage these differences has led to rising East-West tensions and heightened risk of a new Cold War

In his several publications on the subject, he has endeavored to reach beyond academia and engage with foreign-affairs practitioners directly.
A glance at Rachel Harrison’s profile at SOAS, University of London, is enough to reveal the breadth of her scholarly interests and writing.
