This book reviews South Korea's experiences of kundaehwa
(modernization), or catching up with the West, with a focus on
three major historical projects, namely, expansion of new (Western)
education, industrialization and democratization. The kundaehwa
efforts that began in the last quarter of the nineteenth century
have now fully transformed South Korea into an urban industrial
society. In this book we will explore the three major issues
arising from the kundaehwa process in Korea: How was the historical
transformation made possible in the personalistic environment?; How
personalistic is modern Korea?; And how difficult is it to build an
orderly public domain in the pesonalistic modern Korea and how do
Koreans respond to this dilemma of modernization? As an examination
of modernization as well as Korea, this book will appeal to
students and scholars of Korean studies, sociology, politics and
history.
