Peace for Public Health Cooperation between the Cities: Epistemological Turn of Urban Diplomacy on Korean Question

Abstract

Some of scholars suggests that the current conflict between the liberal and authoritarian camps may be seen as a precursor to a "new" Cold War or even a Third World War (Juergensmeyer, 2023). The Russia-Ukraine war has made this situation more visible, and amidst the growing anxiety due to the long-term global economic stagnation, this anxiety evokes a strong sense of déjà vu. However, this sense of familiarity cannot be dismissed solely as negative, since history can present itself anew in different contexts (Leffler, 2019; Brands and Gaddis, 2021).
