Synopsis

Korean Peninsula, A Pawn on the Geopolitical Chessboard is Asian Warriors second book after gaining critical acclaim for The New Global Order. The book authored by Naveen Tomar, Navroop Singh and Himja Parekh focuses on the Korean Peninsula which is divided between North and South Korea. World history has been testament to the fact that all major conflicts have been driven by trade & the hegemonic quest for natural resources. By exploring the Neo-Confucianism ideology the book shows its impact on the peninsulas past, present and future. Tracing events from the time of unified Korea under the Goryeo/Joseon Dynasty to the Japanese occupation, World War 2 and current scenarios, the book elucidates how global powers have used the Korean Peninsula as a geopolitical platform to carve out spheres of influence to remain relevant. The book expounds on South Koreas journey as a tech giant along with tracing the mindset and evolution of North Koreas founding principles which have made it a part of the Axis of Evil that threatens global security. It also reveals the roles of different countries and blocs on the Korean Peninsula in their quest for global supremacy showing the reader how tangled the peninsula really is! The discovery of North Koreas abundant mineral resources has further made it a coveted prize in the global chess being played by powerful nations and their military industrial complexes vying for their share of the bounty; and is radically altering the current dynamics. Subsequently, the book examines the possible hypothesis that could emerge from this global churn. The peninsulas two nation states of contrasting ideologies are influenced by different powers and their proxies who would never want it to rediscover its independent united grandeur. Will the Korean Peninsula reclaim its rightful place on the map or is it forever doomed to remain A Pawn on the Geopolitical Chessboard?
