Introduction to Korean Politics
Course Number:
n/a
Course Description:
This course is purposed to introduce past and current politics of South Korea. It mainly focuses on South Korean politics, dealing partially with North Korea because the two Koreas have influenced each other, as well as how the two partake in the overall politics of East Asia. This class is a basic course in the area of Korean politics; thus, it aims to deliver systematic and balanced understanding about Korean politics and its related subjects.
South Korea (hereafter, Korea) is the fascinating case to study through the lens of politics. Korea is one of the few countries outside the Western hemisphere that have achieved a strong state, procedural democracy, and capitalist market economy. More interesting is that the Korean people have done these triple transformations within a half century, which deviates from the usual pattern of development.
