South Korea renews information campaign on reunification
The Geopolitics of Sovereign Data
CASE STUDIES
SUMMARY: This article examines South Korea's strategic use of the 1990 German reunification as a historical analogy to build public support for Korean reunification. It details the government's launch of an online archive of German documents to educate a populace increasingly concerned about the potential economic costs of absorbing North Korea. The piece concludes that while the project is a novel attempt to shape public expectations, critics view it as propaganda aimed at preparing for a North Korean collapse rather than a genuine, negotiated unification.
