• CSIS: Book Launch I Korea: A New History of South & North - Monday, July 24, 2023. Location: CSIS, 4:00 PM. Please join the Korea Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) for a discussion of Victor Cha and Ramon Pacheco Pardo's new book, Korea: A New History of South & North. Korea has a long, riveting history—it is also a divided nation. South Korea is a vibrant democracy, the tenth largest economy, and is home to a world-renowned culture. North Korea is ruled by the most authoritarian regime in the world, a poor country in a rich region, and is best known for the cult of personality surrounding the ruling Kim family. But both Koreas share a unique common history.
