Features: This book covers many aspects of Korea's administrative characteristics during its transition from a traditional society to an industrialized nation, including political planning, authoritarian rule, elite governance, decision-making procedures, administrative culture and behavior, central-local relations, local autonomy, urban development, democratization of public administration, anti-corruption, and the issue of north-south unification. Through these aspects, we can see the historical trajectory of Korea's journey toward industrialization and learn valuable lessons for China's development and modernization. In this sense, it provides useful references for China's transition from a traditional agricultural society to a modern industrialized nation and from a traditional closed society to a modern open democratic society. This is a highly valuable book for understanding the development of Korean public administration and public policy during the transformation process.
