Description : This book provides an indispensable source for understanding Korean economic and political views. It compiles select news commentaries on the impact of international law on Korean domestic markets and politics from 2010 to 2020. Each section of the book begins with an original essay by the author discussing core issues covered by the news commentaries. Articles then follow, providing at-the-time analysis of the interactions between international law and international relations, as well as the interaction between domestic and international law. Many of the issues, such as China-US relations and refugee policy, are of global relevance, and the thematic clusters will give the readers and students a picture of: • how international law actually operates in the field, • how international law and international relations interact, and • how legal discourse is taking place in the global and domestic community in this process. Written with a colloquial tone and colourful idioms, this supplementary reading is perfect for students looking to enrich their understanding of how law lies behind newspaper headlines. It will also be of interest to scholars and instructors of international economic law, Korean studies, and international relations.
