Biographical note
Gi-Wook Shin is the director of Walter H. Shorenstein Asia-Pacific Research Center and professor of sociology at Stanford University. His most recent book publication is Cross-Currents: Regionalism and Nationalism in Northeast Asia."[A] detailed study and analysis of newspaper coverage in the two countries . . . [R]eal and fresh."
- J. E. Hoare, <i>Asian Affairs</i>
"Based on solid research, <i>One Alliance, Two Lenses</i> 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."
