In this comparative, historical survey of three East Asian
democracies, Jong-sung You explores the correlation between
inequality and corruption in the countries of South Korea, Taiwan
and the Philippines. Drawing on a wealth of rich empirical
research, he illustrates the ways in which economic inequality can
undermine democratic accountability, thereby increasing the risk of
clientelism and capture. Transcending the scope of corruption
research beyond economic growth, this book surveys why some
countries, like the Philippines, have failed to curb corruption and
develop, whilst others such as South Korea and Taiwan have been
more successful. Taking into account factors such as the success
and failure of land reform, variations in social structure, and
industrial policy, Jong-sung You provides a sound example of how
comparative analysis can be employed to identify causal direction
and mechanisms in political science.
