While most analyses of Korean politics have looked to elites to
explain political change, this new and revised edition of Korean
Society examines the role of ordinary people in this dramatic
transformation. Taking the innovative theme of 'civil society' -
voluntary organizations outside the role of the state which have
participated in the process of political and social democratization
- the essays collected here examine Korea as one of the most
dramatic cases in the world of ordinary citizens participating in
the transformation of politics.
Key topics are discussed including:
*Comparisons of Korean democratization to the experiences of
post-authoritarian regimes elsewhere in the world
*Comparisons of the theory of civil society as developed in Western
Europe and America
*The legacy of Korea's Confucian past for contemporary politics and
society
*Close examinations of various civil society movements
*South Korea and North Korea
Conceptually innovative, up-to-date and timely, the new edition of
this book will be an invaluable resource for students of
contemporary Korea, Asian politics and the global struggle for
democracy.
