South Korea after the 2017 Impeachment - Implications for Politics, Society, and Democracy

The impeachment of South Korean President Park Geunhye in 2017 and the protest movement preceding it, which attracted international attention due to its duration, size and largely non-violent nature, prompted many to take a new look at South Korean democracy 30 years after its establishment.By examining the traditional interpretation of the presidential office, the role of the South Korean courts in the context of the impeachment, the protest movement in the light of existing socio-economic structures, and the motivations of the protesters, as well as by contextualising the impeachment in the realm of democratic transition research, this anthology contributes to this discourse.With contributions byDr. Youngho Cho, Julia Dumin, M.A., Dr. Justine Guichard, Dr. Gabriel Jonsson, Prof. Dr. Hannes B. Mosler and Dr. Juliette Schwak.
