ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents an overview of key concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The present volume collects studies from scholars in South Korea, Japan, and the West, who were asked to provide introductions to large areas of concern and to identify analytical problems. The hope is that the collection will inspire readers to isolate particular questions for detailed, comparative, transnational, transcultural, and transdisciplinary research, and that younger scholars will build a base of monographs to help us better understand pre-modern East Asian international relations. This volume will contribute significantly to early-modern Northeast Asian history as well as to the histories of the individual countries of Korea, Japan, and China. This volume offers the broadest treatment of the Imjin Waeran available in English by approaching the war from multiple perspectives with multiple problematic points to the fore.
