About This Book
By examining the controversial Park Chung-hee period (1961~1979), this
book helps readers rediscover the socioeconomic origins of modern Korea.
The essays in this book, written by twelve noted Korean social
scientists, discuss the relationship between South Korea's economic
development and totalitarianism in the form of the Park dictatorship.
The book contests those who refuse to acknowledge the economic
achievements made possible by Park's policies on the one hand and
challenges those who glorify Park with blind admiration on the other.
The authors maintain that it is necessary to comprehensively explore the
meanings of development and dictatorship as they coexisted during the
Park's tenure. This book is divided into 3 parts; Introduction and
Overview of The Political Economy of Developmental Dictatorship, The
Lights and Shadows of Economic Development, and Political Sociology of
the Developmental Dictatorship Regime. Lee Byeong-cheon, the editor of
this book, holds a PhD in economics at Seoul National University. He is
a professor in the Department of Economics and International Trade at
Gangwon National University.
