| Zusammenfassung: | "South Korea's rapid industrialization occurred with the rise of powerful chaebÇl (family-owned business conglomerates) that controlled vast swaths of the nation's economy. Leader Park Chung Hee's sense of backwardness and urgency led him to rely on familial, school, and regional ties to expedite the economic transformation.Late Industrialization, Tradition, and Social Change in South Korea elucidates how a country can progress economically while relying on traditional social structures that usually fragment political and economic vitality. The book proposes a new framework for macro social change under late industrialization by analyzing the specific process of interactions between economic tasks and tradition through the state's mediation.Drawing on interviews with bureaucrats in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry as well as workers and others, Yong-Chool Ha demonstrates how the state propelled industrialization by using kinship networks to channel investments and capital into chaebÇl corporations. What Ha calls "neofamilism" was the central force behind South Korea's economic transformation as the state used preindustrial social patterns to facilitate industrialization. Ha's account of bureaucracy, democratization, and the middle class challenges assumptions about the universal outcomes of industrialization." "Contrasting South Korea's historical situation to that in which Europe, the United States, and other developing countries industrialized, Yong-Chool Ha considers how a country can progress economically while relying on traditional social structures that usually fragment political and economic vitality. Instead of seeing neofamilism as a hindrance to growth or as a propagandistic tool, Ha demonstrates that the familial system was critical to Korea's economic transformation." |
