  South Korea transformed itself from an authoritarian government into a new democracy with a capitalist economy. Covering developments through the 2003 elections, this book shows how the South Korean government and society have been shaped by the dynamics of these forces, and their interaction with the cultural norms of a post-Confucian society.
