The Republic of Korea achieved a double revolution in the second
half of the twentieth century. In just over three decades, South
Korea transformed itself from an underdeveloped, agrarian country
into an affluent, industrialized one. At the same time, democracy
replaced a long series of military authoritarian regimes. These
historic changes began under President Park Chung Hee, who seized
power through a military coup in 1961 and ruled South Korea until
his assassination on October 26, 1979. While the state's dominant
role in South Korea's rapid industrialization is widely accepted,
the degree to which Park was personally responsible for changing
the national character remains hotly debated. This book examines
the rationale and ideals behind Park's philosophy of national
development in order to evaluate the degree to which the national
character and moral values were reconstructed.
