About the Book

Mr. Jeong O Park is a university professor teaching Romanian studies in South Korea. He has published over 50 research articles and 14 books on Romanian politics, economy, society, culture, and history. While conducting research at UC Berkeley as a visiting scholar, he wrote 60 columns for the Korea Times in the US. For his contribution to teaching Romanian studies in Korea, he was awarded the "Merit for Education" Order of Romania, by the Romanian president, Traian Băsescu, in 2007.
