Understanding the Korean Wave
A comprehensive and critical introduction to understanding the Korean Wave (Hallyu) as a transnational media phenomenon. This book provides an accessible introduction to the Korean Wave—the rapid growth of local cultural industries and the global popularity of Korean popular culture over the past 30 years—providing historical, political, economic, and socio-cultural context to its initial rise and enduring popularity. Jin explores the transnational cultural flows of Hallyu across a variety of products and digital technologies—from television dramas, film, and K-pop to online games, and webtoons—and explains the process of cross-media convergence and the socio-political contexts behind the Hallyu phenomenon. He also explores how overseas fans and audiences advance K-pop fandom as social agents in different geo-cultural contexts. The book concludes by discussing if Hallyu can become a sustainable global popular culture beyond a fan-based regional cultural phenomenon. Each chapter features detailed contemporary case studies and discussion questions to enhance student engagement. This is essential reading for students of Media and Communication, Cultural Studies, Korean Studies, and Asian Studies, particularly those taking classes on popular culture and media, media and globalization, Korean popular culture, and East Asian culture.

The Geopolitical Economy of Esports
This book adds a new dimension to our understanding of the global esports industry by examining its significance in the context of global geopolitics and economics. As perhaps the most rapidly growing sector of the sports and entertainment industry worldwide, esports is now both a glittering prize and a powerful tool for sporting organisations, international business, and national and regional governments, and this book critically examines its transformative potential and structural complexities. Presenting a series of contemporary case studies alongside evidence-based analysis, the book examines how esports intersect with global economic, political, cultural, and organisational dynamics. This book moves beyond abstract theories to provide powerful insights, from both industry professionals and academics, into the roles and functions of esports within global power structures. It explores key themes in geopolitical economy - including global economic interests, soft power, cultural diplomacy, organisational strategy, and socio-political dynamics – and in sport and gaming studies, including the rapid development of esports in the MENA region, driven by strategic investment from countries like Saudi Arabia; the current dominance of esports in North America and Asia founded on more advanced ecosystems, innovation and leadership; and regulatory and cultural debates in Europe. Showcasing cutting-edge research and the most important current debates, topics and issues, this book is essential reading for anybody with an interest in esports, gaming, the politics or economics of sport, geopolitics, diplomacy or international business.
