Korea's risen status as a \"middle power\" today, however, begs the question about related changes in the South Korean identity or \"sense of self\" in the world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, Patrick Flamm presents the first comprehensive and agency oriented empirical account of South Korean international state identity and Seoul's global foreign policy in the 21st century. Advancing a performative and narrative understanding of identity in International Relations, Flamm uses South Korea's global engagement in peacekeeping and climate diplomacy to offer much-needed insight into the various identity narratives and role conceptions at play. In the case of peacekeeping and climate diplomacy, South Korea's identity as an international actor has been dominated by practices of self-identification that position the country at the brink of advanced countries, aspiring to lead the rest of the world but with the overall objective to maintain national autonomy in a changing regional and global context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSouth Korean Identity and Global Foreign Policy\u003c\/em\u003e is a must-read for scholars of International Relations, Foreign Policy Analysis and Asian\/Korean Studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatrick Flamm is Lecturer in International Relations at the School of History, \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilosophy, Political Science and International Relations at Victoria University\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eof Wellington.
