Focusing on the sinking of the Sewol, a commercial ferry which
capsized off the South Korean coast in April 2014, this book
considers key issues of disaster, governance, civil society and the
ideational transformation of human agents and their empowerment.
Providing a lens through which to re-examine South Korean
institutions, laws and practices, the volume examines the impact of
the Sewol incident and what it reveals about the fault lines of
South Korean society and governance. It addresses the repercussions
of South Korea's turn to a liberal democracy and neoliberal economy
and reflects on the multilayered implications of the disaster in
respect to the potential human costs of the country's state-driven
development policy and high stress modernisation. The book also
highlights the relevance of the Korean experience for other
societies on a similar developmental trajectories and facing
similar challenges.
