Description

This Routledge book examines South Korean society through the lens of compressed modernity and familial political economy, offering a rigorous alternative to Western social theories and culturalist interpretations. The work develops innovative conceptual frameworks specifically designed to analyse South Korea's unique social transformation, moving beyond conventional approaches that fail to capture the nation's distinctive trajectory. By focusing on the family as a central unit of analysis, the author traces how rapid industrialisation, educational systems, and popular culture have reshaped contemporary Korean life. The book provides essential theoretical tools for understanding how South Koreans navigate complex social orders amid condensed historical change. Suitable for scholars, students, and researchers in sociology, anthropology, and Korean studies seeking deeper insight into East Asian modernity and familial structures.
