This book asks what strategies women's movements can employ to
induce law and policy changes at the national level that will
assist women's equality without sacrificing their feminist energy,
movement cohesiveness and core feminist commitments. The book takes
up this question in order to emphasize the need not only to
recognize the accomplishments of women's movements through
political participation, but also to analyze the process through
which feminist organizations interact with formal politics. It
examines the institutionalization of the Korean women's movement
under the progressive presidencies of Kim Dae Jung (1998-2002) and
Roh Moo Hyun (2003-2007), focusing on three major pieces of
legislation concerning women's rights that were enacted during this
time, and looks at the process of gender politics and the strategic
bargains that needed to be made between the women's movement and
other political forces in order to advance their agenda. It
questions whether the institutionalization of the women's movement
inevitably results in demobilization and deradicalization, and goes
on to examine the relationship between the women's movement and the
government over the two most women-friendly administrations in
South Korean history, a period marked by flourishing civil society
activism and participatory democracy.
