About the Book
"South Korea’s Modernization: Kundaehwa, Education, Industrialization, and Democratization" explores South Korea’s remarkable journey of modernization, with a focus on kundaehwa — the nation’s efforts to catch up with the West. This book provides an in-depth examination of the transformation that South Korea underwent, particularly through three major historical projects:
-
Expansion of New (Western) Education
-
Industrialization
-
Democratization
Beginning in the last quarter of the 19th century, these modernization efforts helped South Korea evolve into a highly urbanized industrial society. The book delves into the complexities of modernization in South Korea, raising key questions such as:
-
How was such historical transformation possible within a personalistic environment?
-
How personalistic is modern-day South Korea?
-
What challenges do South Koreans face in building an orderly public domain within a personalistic modern society, and how do they respond?
This book will be invaluable for students and scholars of Korean studies, sociology, politics, and history, offering a profound look at the country's remarkable transformation and the social and political dynamics at play.
