Korean Politics: The Quest for Democratization and Economic Development (Cornell Paperbacks)
(Extraordinary political and economic changes have rocked ...)
Extraordinary political and economic changes have rocked the Republic of Korea over the past fifty years. John Oh, a Korean-born political scientist, has written a clear and insightful account of government and politics throughout this turbulent period. His chronological and thematic study analyzes both the conflicts between authoritarian forces and populist/democratic elements and the nation's determined efforts to achieve economic growth.In relating Korea's transformation to a democratic society and an industrial state, Oh explains how the country's politics and economy are interrelated. He covers the launching of the first democratic republic, the emergence of military regimes, and the growth of the middle class and the civil society. He also reveals the causes of collusion between political and economic groups which led to corruption, structural anomalies, and economic crises.Korean Politics is the first English-language book to draw on original Korean-language sources including testimonies from the trials of former presidents in its analysis of their military-dominated governments. The book concludes with succinct discussions on the first peaceful transfer of power to an opposition leader, Kim Dae-jung. Timely and authoritative, it is an ideal classroom text and an indispensable reference on contemporary Korea.

The Korean Embassy In America
(This is the first book published on the Korean Embassy in...)
This is the first book published on the Korean Embassy in Washington, D.C. which is considered the crown jewel among the 90 Korean diplomatic missions Korea now maintains abroad. Through text and photo illustrations, the book was written to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the launching of the Korean Embassy in Washington, D.C. in 1949. It begins with the historical background of the early Korean-American relations and the first Korean Legation Office in the United States established in 1888 and continues with the functional link between the Embassy and the home government and the Embassy and the host government. Major events and developments such as the birth of a democratic Republic of Korea and the U.S. role in it, the Korean War, the military coup, economic growth, major political upheavals, the rebirth of civilian governments, and major policy shifts, e.g., the sunshine policy and U.S. attitudes are all written about in lucid detail. The accomplishments, trials and tribulations of the 18 Ambassadors and the perspectives and accounts of several Ministers makes the book a must-read for anyone interested in past and present Korean-American relations and diplomatic relations in general.
