Introduction
A New Kind of Tinderbox on the Korean Peninsula
Recent events on the Korean Peninsula have heightened tensions to what may be their most dangerous level since the 1950–53 Korean War. The breakdown of the 2018 Comprehensive Military Agreement and North Korea’s abandonment of its longstanding unification policy have marked significant shifts in inter-Korean relations, amid a realignment of regional powers into opposing alliances. A historical survey of Korean reunification efforts reveals the cr…
The Color of Dissent and a Vital Politics of Fragility in South Korea
Inspired by the life and work of the late anthropologist Nancy Abelmann (1959-2016), this essay reflects upon public evocations of human vulnerability as central to understanding recent cultural phenomena and political transformations leading up to and during the Candlelight Revolution in South Korea.

The resumption of reunions among separated Korean families in late October and early November appeared to signal a modest improvement in inter-Korean cooperation, raising hopes that a program of cross-border family meetings would not only continue, but also expand. Y…

The exercise was conducted on Yeonpyeong Island, populated at the time by 1,000 South Korean soldiers and 1,300 civilians, about 12 k…
