Este volumen representa un esfuerzo colectivo por comprender, desde una mirada integral, los escenarios futuros de la relación bilateral, al mismo tiempo que sugiere la conciliación de acuerdos para el intercambio comercial que también promuevan el desarrollo equitativo y el bienestar social en ambas naciones.
The Korean peninsula is one of the regions that are currently under constant observation in the complex international mosaic. Characterized by its peculiar economic and political dynamics, today it has an emerging cultural representation that has managed to transcend the world.
For this reason, this book deals with topics that contribute to the understanding of the problems that define part of the current peninsular reality. It analyzes economic and political issues, which are undoubtedly essential for approaching the study of the Korean peninsula. However, the book reflects on the importance of the study of both Koreas from a social and cultural perspective, providing the reader with a human and deep analysis of the Korean societies, allowing them to learn about and reflect on phenomena and problems of the peninsular daily life.
