It features refereed articles on political, economic and social aspects of both South and North Korea, while its survey articles provide easy overviews of politics, the economy, and foreign relations of both Koreas, as well as inter-Korean relations. A true must for everybody interested in modern East Asia in general, and Korea in particular.

Reviews:
"Korea Yearbook will be an indispensable resource for anyone interested in this most fascinating of countries. An international team of top-flight experts not only cover the year's key political and economic developments in both North and South - and the growing relationship between them - but also focus in on an unusually wide range of more specific themes: from foreign investment and the Lone Star affair, via online journalism and new urban landscapes, to North Korean refugees in China. Much more than a compendium, this is an exhilarating tour of Korean
economy, politics and society on both sides of the DMZ. Bravo!"
Aidan Foster-Carter, Honorary Senior Research Fellow in Sociology & Modern Korea, Leeds University
'This volume is the most comprehensive and important summary of political and economic events published on contemporary Korea. In addition, it has a number of excellent essays on both the North and the South and their interrelations, and a variety of chapters on aspects of the political-cultural Korean scene. This annual work will be an essential companion to any researcher on modern Korea, and one that every library on foreign affairs will need. We look forward to the annual production of volumes of equal caliber.'

"The 2007 Korea Yearbook provides fascinating and timely analysis on contemporary Korea, both North and South, by some of Europe and North America's most authoritative specialists. Encompassing a broad range of themes, including foreign relations, domestic politics, geography, archaeology, and popular culture, the volume, which includes a particularly helpful chronology of events in 2006, will, I have no doubt, prove indispensable to students, journalists, researchers and specialists working on East Asian affairs. Filling a critical vacuum in the field, the Korea Yearbook will rapidly become the definitive annual publication on modern Korean affairs."
Dr. John Swenson-Wright, Lecturer in Japanese Politics and International Relations, East Asia Institute, University of Cambridge
"A tremendously thorough, insightful and penetrating analysis, rich with information indispensable to the experts and useful to anyone interested in understanding the political, economic and diplomatic dynamics in both halves of the dynamic Korean Peninsula."
