Work in the post-Covid-19 pandemic
This paper addresses the transformation of work and employment in the period of post-COVID-19 in South Korea. The COVD-19 pandemic displays the failure of the market in managing the public health crisis and the crisis of neoliberal globalization, demanding massive state intervention to reproduce the stability of the social system.

This paper attempts to explore the dynamics of inequality in the post-financial crisis period, which has been reshaping the lifeworld in South Korea.

The sharp rise of income inequality has been conducive to an unprecedented social crisis associated with the lowest birth rate and the…
Economic Crisis, Neoliberal Reforms, and the Rise of Precarious Work in South Korea

This paper explores how the return to power by the authoritarian conservative Grand National Party after a decade of liberal government was possible, drawing attention to the mode of democratic transition and its impact on democratic consolidation, and to the role of civil society in South Korea. It examines how the democratic transition by pact failed to eliminate the legacies of authoritarianism within the state and civil society and contribute…
Globalisation and the Working Class in South Korea
This paper explores the impact of globalisation on the working class in South Korea. Globalisation in South Korea has been distinctive in that it has taken place during the transition to democracy. While democratisation has empowered workers to organise, globalisation has undermined the strength of the organised workers, segmenting regular workers from contingent workers. The abrupt neo-liberal economic reforms that followed the financial crisis …
