Korea Yearbook 2008: Politics, Economy and Society

[...]a few years hence, when I want to discover what happened on 14 August 2007 in North Korea, this is the volume I am likely to return to - except that the volume lacks the all-important tool to search for the information, namely, an index, which will surely prove crucial. [...]this begs a question: at some point, surely, the political and economic considerations will move on-line, not least to allow regular updating and cross-referencing. C. Kenneth Quinones looks at the agreed framework between the USA and North Korea, negotiated in the 1990s and recently returning to view with the visits of American senators and congressmen to Pyongyang and with negotiations over the return of the remains of American soldiers listed as missing in action during the Korean War. [...]Mark Morris explores two South Korean films from 2007, The Old Garden/Oraedoen ch[obreve]ngw[obreve]n and May 18/Hwary[obreve]han hyuga.
