Course Information
Description
This course provides a historically grounded survey of South Korean politics, from its post-colonial reconstruction to its current status as a leading global democracy. While South Korea is a hallmark case of economic development and democratic transition, its contemporary political landscape is defined by a high-stakes struggle to maintain institutional stability. We will explore how the South Korean state functions—and fails—under pressure, while comparing its history and institutions to those of its neighbors, both within and outside of East Asia.
