Korea has a long, riveting history—it is also a divided nation. South Korea is a vibrant democracy, the tenth largest economy, and is home to a world-renowned culture. North Korea is ruled by the most authoritarian regime in the world, a poor country in a rich region, and is best known for the cult of personality surrounding the ruling Kim family. But both Koreas share a unique common history. In this talk, Prof. Pacheco Pardo will present his recent book on Korea's and the Koreas' modern history, co-authored with Prof. Victor Cha.
