Offering an alternative discourse on modernization and development
viewed specifically from the East Asia perspective, this book
focuses its analysis on the Korean experience of modernization and
development. It considers the broad range of societal
transformations which have occurred over the past half century,
utilizing the vernacular language of Korea extracted from everyday
life to interpret, characterize, globalize and pedagogically
broaden the understanding and the human meaning behind these
complex social changes.
Spanning the 19th and 20th centuries and identifying multiple waves
of modernization, this book illustrates how principles originating
in Chinese Confucianism have impacted the modernization of East
Asia, especially in Korea. It also analyzes how such principles are
exercised at personal, interpersonal and organizational levels. As
modernization unfolds in East Asia, there is a rising interest in
tradition of Confucianism and reconsider the relevance of
Confucianism to global development. This book considers the actual
historical significance of Confucianism in the modernization of the
three nations in this region, China, Korea, and Japan through the
nineteenth century and early twentieth century to the aftermath of
the end of World War II. Examining the existing literature dealing
with how Confucianism has been viewed in connection with
modernization, it provides insight into western attitudes towards
Confucianism and the changes in perceptions relative to Asia in the
very process of modernization itself.
This cutting edge work offers an alternative perspective on
existing paradigms of modernization and development that originated
in the West from the vantage point of non-western, late-modernizing
societies. It considers how East Asian philosophical ideas enrich
the reformulation of the concept of development or societal
development, and how influential principles of traditional culture
such as yin-yang dialectic interact with modern ideas and
technology. It addresses the significance of alternative discourses
as culturally independent scholarship, and the problems of
pervasive mechanisms of social, political, economic, and cultural
dependence in the global academic world.
