      title = {The Park Chung Hee Era : The Transformation of South Korea  /},
      abstract = {In 1959 South Korea was mired in poverty. By 1979 it had a  powerful industrial economy and a vibrant civil society in  the making, which would lead to a democratic breakthrough  eight years later. The transformation took place during the  years of Park Chung Hee's presidency. Park seized power in  a coup in 1961 and ruled as a virtual dictator until his  assassination in October 1979. He is credited with  modernizing South Korea, but at a huge political and social  cost.South Korea's political landscape under Park defies  easy categorization. The state was predatory yet  technocratic, reform-minded yet quick to crack down on  dissidents in the name of political order. The nation was  balanced uneasily between opposition forces calling for  democratic reforms and the Park government's obsession with  economic growth. The chaebol (a powerful conglomerate of  multinationals based in South Korea) received massive  government support to pioneer new growth industries, even  as a nationwide campaign of economic shock therapy-interest  hikes, devaluation, and wage cuts-met strong public  resistance and caused considerable hardship.This landmark  volume examines South Korea's era of development as a study  in the complex politics of modernization. Drawing on an  extraordinary range of sources in both English and Korean,  these essays recover and contextualize many of the  ambiguities in South Korea's trajectory from poverty to a  sustainable high rate of economic growth.},
