In Divided Korea: Toward a Culture of Reconciliation, Roland Bleiker's goal is to move the menacing conflict between North and South Korea, and between North Korea and the United States, away from the traditional security studies frame of reference, which he considers two-dimensional and intellectually sterile. He argues for a broader analytical context that allows for various strategies of engagement between the adversaries so that the very serious threat of potentially devastating war can be reduced or, ideally, removed. In the preface, Bleiker writes: I had great difficulty understanding the language of security experts, which was full of acronyms, technical details, and obscure metaphors ... I became more frustrated because I was unable to communicate what I felt so passionate about: the need to take into account identity issues and rethink Korean security along interdisciplinary lines.
