This chapter first offers a theoretical framework to explain coexistence of nationalism and globalization by considering two interrelated processes: 1) nationalist appropriation of globalization and 2) intensification of ethnic identity in reaction to globalization process. It then presents empirical evidence to demonstrate how these processes have worked in Korean globalization at both official and popular levels.
