course\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Donald Trump is once again President of the United States, having won re-election in 2024.\u003cbr\u003e Since then, the news of American policy delivered through Trump's mouth has been enough to shock not only Korea but also countries around the world.\u003cbr\u003e All sorts of outrageous remarks were made against other sovereign nations, including allies, and absurd news about a country's external actions, such as imposing tariffs of up to 3521% and then withdrawing them, filled the news every day. \u003cbr\u003eIn these times when the question, \"Why on earth is America like this?\" naturally arises, Kim Jun-hyung, former president of the Korea National Diplomatic Academy and Korea's leading foreign affairs expert, emphasizes that understanding the United States today requires understanding the rapidly changing flow of international politics.\u003cbr\u003e The (re)emergence of the figure of Trump is not a simple aberration or an anomaly, but rather a cause, a consequence, and at the same time a driving force behind the ongoing global fragmentation.\u003cbr\u003e The seventh book in Changbi's humanities and liberal arts series, \"100 Grams of Liberal Arts,\" \"America's Betrayal and the Shaking World,\" interprets the newly reorganized international order as a continuous flow, analyzes why America's response strategy has turned out to be a failure, and seeks a path for Korea to take within it. \u003cbr\u003eThis book will provide key insights for readers who want to look beyond the Trump phenomenon and broaden their perspective on international politics and consider practical alternatives from Korea's

understand the nature of the changing international order and what preparations and choices we must make for our future.\u003cbr\u003e I will try to give a careful and rigorous answer to this question.\u003cbr\u003e I hope this book will alleviate some of the readers' worries and concerns about how we should live in a world shaken by America's betrayal, and serve as a starting point for efforts to properly understand the current changes.\u003cbr\u003e --- From \"Introduction\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In early March 2024, I left behind my 25-year career as a university professor and suddenly, but boldly, embarked on a new path as a member of the National Assembly.\u003cbr\u003e I couldn't stand by and watch as Yoon Seok-yeol's forces ruined Korean diplomacy. \u003cbr\u003eI was anxious because I thought that since diplomacy involves a counterparty, once it was ruined, it would be difficult to restore it no matter how hard one side tried.\u003cbr\u003e My time in the National Assembly, which lasted less than a year, was a turbulent time, as if I had experienced more than I would in ten years, but it was meaningful in that I played even a small role in the making of history.\u003cbr\u003e Lifting martial law on December 3rd and passing the impeachment motion on December 14th was a great accomplishment, and I felt that I had made the right choice to become a member of the National Assembly.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.5~6\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One of the huge events that symbolizes this upheaval we are experiencing is Trump (D.\u003cbr\u003e (Trump) You could say it's the emergence of the US President.\u003cbr\u003e What I'm going to tell you today is that Trump's rise is not a mere coincidence.\u003cbr\u003e Of course, this could be explained as a shocking deviation and an exceptional event, the appearance of a monster, and there are quite a few people who say so. \u003cbr\u003eBut in my view, Trump is both a cause and an effect of the changes in the current international order, and at times a catalyst that accelerates those changes.\u003cbr\u003e It may seem as if Yoon Seok-yeol's internal rebellion, which occurred in late 2024, suddenly occurred after 45 years, but it actually clearly reveals the problems inherent in our society.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.16\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The 'New Cold War' is a provocative term referring to the US-China hegemony competition, but I believe that the current situation is completely different in nature from the Cold War of the past.\u003cbr\u003e Rather, this is probably the most accurate term to describe the world today.\u003cbr\u003e Fragmentation.\u003cbr\u003e (…) That is, the struggle of all against all is at work today not only in individual countries but also in international politics.\u003cbr\u003e Therefore, fragmentation refers to an order in which each country prioritizes survival and profit. \u003cbr\u003eThis means that compromise for cooperation between nations will disappear, and we will enter an era of fierce competition in a negative-sum game where each country's interests are detrimental to its own.\u003cbr\u003e When nationalism and exclusive nationalism become so prevalent, the possibility of not only economic conflict but also armed conflict increases.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.37~38\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The New York Times even commented in a column that “Trump has destroyed the order that America has worked so hard to build for 80 years in just 50 days.”\u003cbr\u003e The problem is that although the United States is still the world's most powerful nation, it lacks the hegemonic ability to lead the entire world, let alone the will to do so, and is determined to pursue national egoism.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.49\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e However, the ROK-US alliance is so strongly entrenched within us as a symbol of peace that whenever inter-Korean relations improve, we worry about the alliance weakening, a paradoxical situation arises. \u003cbr\u003eWhenever progressive governments attempted to achieve inter-Korean cooperation, they inevitably faced criticism that they were undermining the ROK-US alliance, and this had a strong impact on the public.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.65\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e But Trump's time is limited.\u003cbr\u003e When a typhoon comes, sometimes if you hold out until it passes, it will pass.\u003cbr\u003e Developing the power to endure may be the next government's greatest mission of the times.\u003cbr\u003e This is not simply a monstrous trait of Trump's personal character, but, as we have discussed, a major trend unfolding in this turbulent period of world history.\u003cbr\u003e --- p.75\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We've analyzed the storm of Trumpism so far, but the only thing that can truly stop its harm is an awakening from within.\u003cbr\u003e No matter how much America's national power has declined, there is still no country that can defeat the United States in a confrontation. \u003cbr\u003eIf so, the most effective and desirable way to stop Trump's unilateralism, racism, and anti-democratic policies is through the democratic struggle of American citizens.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, American citizens began to rise up.\u003cbr\u003e On April 5, 2025, the day after our Constitutional Court impeached Yoon Seok-yeol, millions of citizens took to the streets across the United States under the slogan “Hands Off.”\u003cbr\u003e In American history, the civil rights movement of the 1960s is the most recent resistance.\u003cbr\u003e They cry out that America has been struggling for democracy for too long and that it is time to learn from the remarkable democratic resilience that has occurred in South Korea.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- p.81~82\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \",\"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ch5\u003e

Betraying?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Recently, the United States has been showing clear signs of decline due to the policies of the second Trump administration. \u003cbr\u003eThe high tariff policies targeting China and the European Union in early 2025 have disrupted global supply chains, threatened the free trade system, and significantly undermined international trust.\u003cbr\u003e Furthermore, the United States' declaration of withdrawal from the WHO and its threat to reduce financial support for NATO have weakened international cooperation based on multilateralism, significantly reducing trust in America's global leadership.\u003cbr\u003e At the same time, political polarization continues to deepen within the United States, and Trump's hardline immigration policies in his second term are pushing for large-scale deportations that ignore legal procedures, even raising human rights concerns.\u003cbr\u003e It is no exaggeration to say that the image that the United States has long promoted as the \"guardian of freedom and democracy\" is being damaged across the board.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"America's Betrayal and the World in Shakenness\" analyzes the regressive course of the United States, currently under Trump, within the context of world history. \u003cbr\u003eThis book provides a comprehensive overview of the turbulent international politics, from the end of the Cold War and the heyday of Pax Americana, which began with the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, to the shock of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and the 2008 financial crisis, and to Brexit and the second term of Trump.\u003cbr\u003e The author defines the current international order not as a \"new Cold War between the US and China,\" as is commonly referred to, but as \"fragmentation,\" and emphasizes that, unlike the past Cold War, this is an era of each country prioritizing survival and self-interest, rather than one characterized by ideological conflict or clear-cut division into camps.\u003cbr\u003e Trump's racist rhetoric, protectionism, and America First policies, which at first glance seem like nonsense, should be viewed as an attempt by the United States to maximize its own interests in the face of the decline of the era of American hegemony. \u003cbr\u003eHowever, the author diagnoses that this US response is a global betrayal that weakens the global order and mutual trust, and a self-betrayal that undermines the values ​​of freedom and democracy that the US has defended thus far.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003ejust now,\u003cbr\u003e The possibility of democracy in Korea\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In this era of each person for himself and fragmentation, what path should Korea pursue?\u003cbr\u003e This book deeply considers the ROK-US alliance and inter-Korean relations, focusing on the variable of the United States.\u003cbr\u003e First, I would like to point out that shattering the \"myth\" of the ROK-US alliance is the most important cognitive shift in Korea's future diplomatic path. \u003cbr\u003eBecause the essence of the alliance is rooted in the structure of inter-Korean confrontation, the necessity and strength of the ROK-US alliance will naturally weaken as the Korean Peninsula peace process progresses. However, it is true that South Korea has yet to overcome its sense of crisis that it is safe only under the US security umbrella.\u003cbr\u003e The author emphasizes that now, with the United States' power weakening and multipolarization advancing, is the time for South Korea to break free from its dependence on the United States, seize the initiative, and reestablish South Korea-U.S. and inter-Korean relations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In particular, we have recently experienced the restoration of democracy through organized resistance by citizens.\u003cbr\u003e The 'Struggle of Light' is a historical example that demonstrates Korea's democratic capacity and the maturity of civil society.\u003cbr\u003e The author argues that South Korea can revive the values ​​that Trump and the United States have abandoned, such as human rights, democracy, and freedom. \u003cbr\u003eIn fact, the United States is also conducting citizen-led anti-Trump protests, referencing Korea's example.\u003cbr\u003e This dynamism, unparalleled in any other country in the world, is the driving force that allows Korea to diversify the targets and forms of its diplomacy, from Korea-China relations to the Global South, and to pursue new forms of cooperation.\u003cbr\u003e The work of practicing democratic values ​​and establishing a peaceful order in the international community in the face of the raging \"Trump typhoon\" will also begin right now, stemming from the potential of Korean democracy.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \"]\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 23, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 112 pages | 160g | 128*182*10mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9788936480820 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894265413674,"sku":"140014","price":19.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/12f43b8f029c51a8498797c8f3e30ec5.jpg?v=1765429836","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/140014","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
