Das politische System Südkoreas

How does a young, dynamic democracy assert itself amid an economic boom, mass protests and mounting political pressure? South Korea—at the crossroads of democracy, commerce and geopolitics—serves as a compelling case study of contemporary politics. This textbook traces constitutional change, the dynamics of a powerful presidency, party realignments and voting behaviour, and examines the roles of the judiciary, the media and civil society. Systematic analyses, concise case studies and electoral investigations reveal fault lines and avenues for reform, connecting domestic developments with foreign policy. This makes the book ideal reading for students of political science and Asian studies, as well as practitioners in journalism and political consulting.
