Table of ContentsReviewsThis book is an important contribution to the fortunes of global democratization. Focusing on developments in South Korea during the past seven decades, Kang shows how Korean politics has followed and not followed the dominant Western ideologies of liberalism, conservatism, nationalism, and radicalism.The divergence has to do with the difference between early-comers and late-comers to democracy, that is, with a certain nonsimultaneity between Western and non-Western history. Given geopolitical asymmetries, the divergence also puts a certain premium on nationalism and national security, thus showing the crucial embeddedness of democratization in cultural-political contexts. -- Fred Dallmayr, author of Being in the World: Dialogue and Cosmopolis (2013) Author InformationJung In Kang is Professor of Political Science at Sogang University, South Korea.
