Zusammenfassung This book discusses the transition process which took place in South Korea in the 1990s! and which has subsequently been! and continues to be! consolidated. It examines how! through a process of "experimental corporatism"! a dual transformation was successfully brought about - in politics from authoritarian regime to liberal democracy! and in the economy from a state-centred to a more liberal economy.
