In this interdisciplinary study of governance, Hyuk-Rae Kim traces
how civil society and NGOs have evolved over time, how they differ
in motivation from their Western counterparts, and the role civil
society NGOs have played in consolidating democracy as the
governance system in Korea changes from a state-centric to a
contested one. This book presents civil society's rise in Korea
through in-depth analyses of today's most pressing issues, in order
to chart the shifting role of a formerly state-centric to a
contested governance system in modern Korea. With detailed case
studies and policy discussions, this book explores the role of NGOs
in campaigning for political reform and the eradication of
political corruption; the provision of public goods and services;
challenging the government's policies on migration; tackling the
issue of North Korean refugees and human rights; and the provision
of regional environmental governance. These case studies
demonstrate that the state is no longer the sole guardian and
provider of public institutions and goods and underline the growing
role of civil society in Korea. Both a study of contested
governance and an exploration of contemporary Korean society, this
book will be of imminent interest to students and scholars alike of
Korean politics, East Asian politics, governance, and civil
society.
