Dr. Lee’s English Terminology of Global Issues I, II

Lee Sang-hyek; KP Publisher; 300 pp., 18,000 won

This two-part series is an introduction to the terminology of global issues.

Each short chapter provides an easy explanation on terms such as “Peacekeeping operation” or “East Asia Summit,” with relevant color photos and current events involving the terms.

The author has written several books on English education. A significant part of the books are in relation to what goes on and the terms used at international organizations.

With a Korean at the helm of the United Nations, more young Koreans are seeking employment with international organizations.

This book would be useful for high school and university students who are looking to improve their understanding of world affairs and prepare themselves for employment in an international environment.
