| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The severe deterioration in South Korea–Japan relations under Abe Shinzo and Park Geun-hye seems paradoxical given that Abe’s grandfather, Kishi Nobusuke, and Park’s father, Park Chung-hee, were “close friends” who helped forge Japan–South Korea normalization in 1965. However, Abe and Park are better understood as operating within the nationalist conservative logic that brought their families together but now drives their countries apart. KEYWORDS: Korea-Japan relations, Kishi Nobusuke, Abe Shinzo, Park Chung-hee, Park Geun-hye, Manchukuo, Korea-Japan normalization, conservative nationalism. |
