Series Statement: Contemporary Asia in the world

Content: "The Beijing Olympics will be remembered as the largest, most expensive, and most widely watched event of the modern Olympic era. But did China present itself as a responsible host and an emergent international power, much like Japan during the 1964 Tokyo Games and South Korea during the 1988 Seoul Games? Or was Beijing in 2008 more like Berlin in 1936, when Germany took advantage of the global spotlight to promote its political ideology at home and abroad? Beyond the Final Score takes an original look at the 2008 Beijing games within the context of the politics of sport in Asia. Asian athletics are bound up with notions of national identity and nationalism, refracting political intent and the processes of globalization. Sporting events can generate diplomatic breakthroughs (as with the results of Nixon and Mao's "ping-pong diplomacy") or breakdowns (as when an athlete defects to another country). For China, the Beijing Games introduced a liberalizing ethos that its authoritative regime could ignore only at its peril."--Book jacket.

Content: As the author sees it, with the end of the Cold War and uncertainties about the continued viability of the North Korean regime, the distant goal of national unification may finally be on the horizon. After exploring from a historical perspective why unification dialogue between the two Koreas has been largely unproductive, he overviews some of the potential problems and policy priorities in the future process of unification and assesses the potential impact of a united Korea on the balance of power in East Asia. The author believes whether unification occurs at the end of this decade of after, South Korea will dominate the New Korean entity. (DÜI-Sen)
