Consolidating Democracy (eBook, PDF)

Resilience and Challenges in Indonesia and South Korea
Redaktion: Howe, Brendan

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book assesses democratic resilience and challenges in (relatively) newly emerging democracies in the Asia-Pacific, which are simultaneously important case studies as newly emerging middle powers. Across all dimensions and measurements, South Korea and Indonesia are consistently the most salient case studies to consider. The two case studies are compared across three sections. First, the relationship between economic development and democratic resilience in Indonesia and South Korea. Second, nature of political culture and societal constructs in the two case studies. The final section looks at the potential peculiarities of the two case studies, which are seen as uniquely challenged: Indonesia by religious persecution and South Korea by political populism. Certainly, democratization is a long and difficult process. This book provides insight into how the two countries have embarked on similar democratization projects. It also delineates the successes and failures from which valuable lessons on democratization can be drawn.

Brendan Howe is Dean and Professor of International Relations, Ewha Womans University Graduate School of International Studies, South Korea, and President of the Asian Political and International Studies Association.
