Kyung-Sup Chang

South Korea under Compressed Modernity

Familial Political Economy in Transition

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The condensed social change and complex social order governing South Koreans' life cannot be satisfactorily delineated by relying on West-derived social theories or culturalist arguments. This book provides an account of South Korean society and its contemporary transformation.

---

Focusing on the family as the most crucial micro foundation of South Korea's economic, social, and political life, Chang demonstrates a shrewd insight into the ways in which family relations and family-oriented values shape the structural and institutional changes ongoing in South Korea today.
