South Korea is renowned as one of the success stories of fast
economic development. The Korean developmental state was a highly
efficient, meritocratic, and fully monopolized coercive force.
These resources were skilfully leveraged to shape the direction of
private sector actors towards strategic initiatives. However, these
very same resources could have resulted in the bureaucracy
retaining its power indefinitely. Instead, step-by-step, the
resources of the bureaucracy, which serviced the authoritarian
leadership in the developmental period, were exercised towards
democratization. What were the conditions that made this
transformation possible? The Experience of Democracy and
Bureaucracy in South Korea addresses this question, filling the
existing gap in the academic literature and presenting political
implications. It explores the ways in which bureaucracy may not
only be compatible with democracy but, more ambitiously, the
conditions under which it can enhance it. The chapters examine the
unique systems and institutions of the Korean bureaucracy including
the National Election Commission, the police force, local
government, the ceiling recruitment strategy, and procurement
policy. This timely collection will be of interest to researchers,
graduate and undergraduate students in public administration and
policy. It will also be a useful reference for bureaucrats in
developing countries who seek to design policy for bureaucracy in
concurrence with democratization.
