South Korea has continued to impress the world in the way it has
harnessed social modernization, economic development, political
democratization and, most recently, multi-faceted globalization.
Relying on both established and inventive citizenship perspectives,
the authors in this volume collectively show that all these diverse
societal transformations and achievements can be concretely and
systematically comprehended in conjunction with citizens' reshaping
identities, rights, and duties in civil society and national
polity. South Koreans' eye-catching traits and trends of
educational zeal, economic development, civil activism,
nationalism, and neoliberal globalization are analyzed here as
diverse yet often interconnected manifestations of citizenship
politics. As shown comprehensively in this volume, the necessity of
such citizenship-focused analyses is particularly evident in recent
years as South Korea has been undergoing a condensed transition
from class politics to citizenship politics. This book is a highly
inclusive yet incisive account of modern and late modern Korea,
utilizing citizenship as a powerful theoretical and analytical
tool. Such judicious theoretical and analytical use of citizenship
in respect to modern Korean history and society will in turn enable
a meaningful expansion of theoretical and methodological utility of
citizenship in contemporary global social sciences. This book was
based on a special issue of Citizenship Studies.
