International Impact of Colonial Rule in Korea, 1910-1945
In recent years, discussion of the colonial period in Korea has centered mostly on the degree of exploitation or development that took place domestically, while international aspects have been relatively neglected. Colonial discourse, such as characterization of Korea as a \"hermit nation,\" was promulgated around the world by Japan and haunts us today. The colonization of Korea also transformed Japan and has had long-term consequences for post-World War II Northeast Asia as a whole.
Through sections that explore Japan's images of Korea, colonial Koreans' perceptions of foreign societies and foreign relations, and international perceptions of colonial Korea, the essays in this volume show the broad influence of Japanese colonialism not simply on the Korean peninsula, but on how the world understood Japan and how Japan understood itself. When initially incorporated into the Japanese empire, Korea seemed lost to Japan's designs, yet Korean resistance to colonial rule, along with later international fear of Japanese expansion, led the world to rethink the importance of Korea as a future sovereign nation.

La política exterior y de seguridad japonesa
Japón hace años que vive inmerso en una etapa de profundos cambios que están afectando especialmente a su política exterior y de seguridad. Olvidada durante décadas por el papel que Japón había adoptado como \"gigante económico? y \"enano político?, la política exterior japonesa vuelve a tener un espacio en la disciplina de las Relaciones Internacionales y en los estudios sobre seguridad en Asia Pacífico. Es en este contexto que el presente estudio ofrece las claves de interpretación y análisis de la evolución de su política exterior, desde el período de aislamiento, pasando por el fin de la guerra fría, hasta los retos a los que debe enfrentarse en el nuevo siglo XXI. La obra identifica tanto los principales actores involucrados en la definición de su política exterior ?principalmente Estados Unidos, China o Corea del Norte-, como los debates existentes acerca del papel que debe jugar el país en el convulso panorama internacional. En su madurez económica, Japón deberá sin duda alguna reinventarse a sí mismo si no quiere quedarse atrapado ante la fuerza imparable del liderazgo chino.
