The book explores South Korea's UN membership in 1991 and its impact on both Koreas since their division in 1948. It analyzes anticipated outcomes of this membership, assessing their realization on national and global levels. The study highlights South Korea's influence in international politics, especially during its Security Council tenures, and its role in shaping resolutions on North Korea's nuclear issues and human rights. Additionally, it examines South Korea's contributions to peacekeeping and the significance of the UN as a platform for international engagement and knowledge sharing.

With reference to lessons from the German and Yemeni unification, the book examines the development of inter-Korean relations and presents a fascinating view of South Korean perceptions of their neighbours. The book also details the wider political sphere of influence with an analysis of the positions of the United States, Japan, China and Russia on Korean unity.
