Description and Table of Contents
Description
This book sets out a panoramic view of law and society studies in South Korea, considering the factors that have made this post-colonial war-torn country economically and politically successful.
The contributors examine societal and historical conditions that are reflected in - or that were shaped by - the law, through a variety of lenses; including law and development, law and politics, colonialism and gender, past wrongdoings, public interest lawyering, and judicial reform. In dismantling the historical specificity of the way in which Korea studies are universally framed the contributions provide novel views, theories and information about South Korean law and society.
Incorporating various perspectives and methodologies, and demonstrating a finely crafted application of general theory to specific issues, this compendium will prove insightful to law scholars and researchers looking to widen their perspective and broaden their knowledge on law and society in Korea. Law practitioners whose practice requires knowledge of the Korean legal system will also find plenty of information in this authoritative book.
Contributors include: K. Cho, D.-k. Choi, P. Goedde, S.S. Hong, D. Kim, J.-O. Kim, C. Lee, I. Lee, K.-W. Lee, H. Yang, S. Yi
