Description
This book, edited by Samuel Kim, presents the first sustained analysis of Korea's globalization and its ramifications for all aspects of the Korean state and society. Combining a broader conceptual framework with illustrative case studies, the authors critically probe the promise and performance and the myths and realities of Korea's globalization drive. More broadly, they examine how Korea, as a newly industrialized and newly democratizing country, is coping with the twin challenges of democratic consolidation from below and within and globalization from above and without.
Reviews"...an important contribution to research on Korea. The essays are a valuable analytical addition to country case studies on globalization, and its consequences on society. The political economy point of view is welcome...All chapters are of high quality in their analysis and content." Journal of Asian Studies "...Korea's Globalization does bring together a collection of generally solid and useful...essays that cover a range of issues related to globalization's impact on the South Korean state and society." Korean Studies
