Produktbeschreibung

Looks at the way in which the phenomenon of globalization has impacted on Korean society in terms of national identity, corporate change, labour markets, democracy, tradition and social policy, and the implications for Korea's social cohesion. This book is of interest to students of Korean and East Asian studies, development studies and politics.

---

This book examines both the positive and negative impact globalization has had on Korean (especially post-1945 South Korean) society, politics, economy, and ideology since the end of the 19th century, with special attention paid to the structural mechanisms that have maintained cohesion despite the changes globalization has produced.
