Grasping world politics from East Asian context

책 소개

World Politics, or international relations (IR) more generally, is a field of social scientific inquiry developed in the historical and theoretical context of the West. This book recasts IR in East Asia’s historical and cultural context, especially Korea and China. It does so by translating familiar IR jargon into local words and adages, rather than inventing new, unfamiliar terms. This unique approach not only makes the concepts more accessible but also enriches them with the unique perspectives of East Asian culture. To illustrate these concepts, the book refers to historical episodes and adages familiar to the locals, making the concepts more relatable and understandable. In doing so, it caters to readers both in the East, by making Western social science more familiar, and in the West, by introducing them to new cultural perspectives. Despite this cultural focus, the book maintains the integrity of IR as a scientific field. 이 책은 서양에서 개발되고 발전한 국제관계학의 개념과 이론을 동양의 문화와 전통, 사례와 접목함으로써 학문의 대중화와 현지화에 기여한다.
