- Anti-Americanism
- "South Korean Anti-Americanism,"
Meredith Woo-Cumings (University of Michigan), JPRI Working Paper No. 93, 7/03. "What is this 'anti-Americanism,'
a sentiment that is purportedly held by South Koreans, and that so provokes the ire of many Americans who feel
that the Koreans have just bitten off the American hands that have so long fed them? I believe we need to go
beyond the opinion polls, and examine the unraveling of the Cold War alliance was based on three pillars of
patronage: politically, the United States sponsored Korean development by providing aid, tutelage of open
economy and export-led growth, and opening its vast and lucrative market to Korean exports; and militarily,
the United States guaranteed the security of Korea, the best example of this commitment being the presence of
37,000 American servicemen, to assure instant American involvement in the event of a conflict on the Korean
peninsula." http://www.jpri.org/WPapers/wp93.htm
