South Koreans tailor American ideas about economic development and
democracy. This ambitious and innovative study examines American
nation building in South Korea during the Cold War. Marshaling a
vast array of new American and Korean sources, Gregg Brazinsky
explains why South Korea was one of the few postcolonial nations
that achieved rapid economic development and democratization by the
end of the twentieth century. He contends that a distinctive
combination of American initiatives and Korean agency enabled South
Korea's stunning transformation. Expanding the framework of
traditional diplomatic history, Brazinsky examines not only
state-to-state relations, but also the social and cultural
interactions between Americans and South Koreans. He shows how
Koreans adapted, resisted, and transformed American influence and
promoted socioeconomic change that suited their own aspirations.
