Korea and Germany are commonly described as emblematic examples of divided nations. But while Korea is still divided Germany has gone through a peaceful unification. The book offers a unique comparative study on the demographic change in these divided countries. It also investigates the developments after Germany´s unification. Based on this demographic insights of a merged society it asks about their use and limits for a possible Korean scenario of reunification.Bernhard Köppen and Norbert F.
