"Based on solid research,
One Alliance, Two Lenses is a jargon-free and interesting study of the alliance, offering useful policy insights on how to improve this ever-expanding partnership." -- Victor D. Cha, Georgetown University * former White House Asia advisor (2004-7) *
"Shin's triple achievement is in offering exceptional depth in analyzing U.S-South Korean relations during a pivotal period, presenting the premier case study of how identity politics shape a bilateral relationship, and establishing a model in using the media to show how national identities are linked to perceptions of another state. This book sets a high standard for scholarship." -- Gilbert Rozman, Professor * Princeton University *
"In a major contribution to the scholarship on the U.S.-Korea relationship, Shin unearths a fundamental mismatch in the ways Koreans and Americans see their relationship. Understanding the mismatch, which this sophisticated book meticulously documents, would help us better grasp, and hopefully improve, a relationship that remains vital to the region's peace and prosperity." -- J.J. Suh * author of
Power, Interest and Identity in Military Alliances and director of Korea Studies Program at SAIS, Johns Hopkins University *
