Trade and Transformation in Korea, 1876–1945
Exploring the interaction among system, state, and society, this book illuminates the social and economic history of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century colonial Korea. Dennis McNamara argues that transformation within and trade abroad, led by rice exports, spurred Korea's shift from isolation to inclusion in a modem regional system. In hi
Myungji Yang. From Miracle to Mirage
In Miracle to Mirage: the Making and Unmaking of the Korean Middle Class, 1960–2015, author Myungji Yang attempts to explain middle-class dynamics in South Korea’s rapid development trajectory. An effort to extend a case study of real estate investment or “speculation” in the Gangnam area of Seoul into a broad chronicle of national class formation and dissolution proves quite a challenge. A political scientist by training, Yang bravely ranges acr…

New Places But Old Spaces
Small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) play a critical role today in Asian regional production. However, their long-term viability depends on innovation drawing on local as well as global knowledge flows. In this paper, I ask whether firms moving to new production sites abroad have penetrated new spaces of information and knowledge. Japanese and Korean SMEs manufacturing abroad retain a static comparative advantage in sub-contracting for larger…

Textiles and Industrial Transition in Japan
Corporatism and Cooperation among Japanese Labor
Dramatic changes in Japan's political economy have renewed the debate over the role of organized A tripartite negotiation of adjustment programs in declining industries now brings labor to the bargaining table with capital and the state. The triumph of moderates over militants within the labor movement has fostered a shift from confrontative to consensual politics.

Textiles and Industrial Transition in Japan
Race and Migration in Imperial Japan
A high degree of cultural and racial homogeneity has long been associated with Japan, with its political discourse and with the lexicon of post-war Japanese scholarship. This book examines underlying assumptions. The author provides an analysis of racial discourse in Japan, its articulation and re-articulation over the past century, against the background of labour migration from the colonial periphery. He deconstructs the myth of a Japanese race…
Association and Adjustment in Japan's Textile Industry
JAPAN successfully met the challenge of industrialization in the twentieth century. Japan will face the challenge of restructuring industry in the twenty-first century. Textile manufacture stood in the forefront ofJapan's early industries at the turn of the century. The same industry was among the first to face decline more recently. Reducing capacity in the spinning sector has long been a goal of efforts by state and firm to streamline and upgra…
State and Concentration in Korea's First Republic, 1948-60
Rapid growth among a few large firms distinguished the early years of cotton manufacture in South Korea. A review of expansion and concentration in the industry, and case studies of the T'aech'ang and Kyungbang firms, provide evidence of extensive structural support managed by the state, and also of favoured access to such support for the larger cotton mills. In contrast to earlier studies critical of the state role, I argue that the agencies and…

The Colonial Origins of Korean Enterprise, 1910-1945
Reincorporation and the American State in South Korea
The development of South Korea's cotton manufacturing industry during the First Republic (1948-1960) is examined as a way to better understand the process of 'reincorporation' of a peripheral state into the postwar capitalist world system. An examination of the character of cotton manufacturing in South Korea, and the role played by the United States in reincorporating the former Japanese colony into an American-dominated world system, suggests t…

Instruments and Consequences of Japanese Imperialism
The Colonial Origins of Korean Enterprise
South Korean conglomerates, or 'chaebol,' such as Hyundai and Samsung, play a far more important role in the Korean economy than do comparable large firms in the US and Japanese economies. Despite the importance of the chaebol to the rapid postwar development of the Korean economy, little has been written about their origins during the Japanese occupation. Through case studies of local ownership in major financial, commercial, and industrial vent…
Vietnam Veterans And the Agent Orange Controversy
The efforts by Vietnam veterans to obtain compensation and an admission of responsibility from the U.S. government and its defense contractors for health problems allegedly caused by Agent Orange contamination during the Vietnam War is perhaps the most important veterans' issue of this generation. This article explains the emergence of Agent Orange as a veterans' issue and traces the controversy through the VA, Congress, and the courts. The case …
Entrepreneurship in Colonial Korea
Kim Yôn-su (pen name Sudang 1896-1979) was among the few widely successful Korean entrepreneurs during the years of Japanese colonial rule on the peninsula.1 He served as managing director and later as president (1935-1945) of the Kyôngsông Spinning Company (Kyôngsông Pangjik Chusik Hoesa), the largest of the Korean-owned industrial enterprises. He also founded, managed and owned the Samyang company, the largest indigenous agricultural company of…

Textiles and Industrial Transition in Japan
The Keishō and the Korean Business Elite
A successful pattern of close ties between the state and large-scale private enterprise in Japan and Korea has attracted the attention of scholars, policymakers, and businessmen. The prewar Japanese state (Moulton 1931; Lockwood 1955; Nakagawa 1983) with its distinctive methods of promoting private enterprise played a major role in this eminently successful case of a "late developing" (Gerschenkron 1966; Rosovsky 1961) society. It also provides a…
Selective Service Without a Draft
More than one million young men have failed to register for the draft, thereby committing a felony which carries a maximum five-year prison sentence and $10,000 fine. Unless a vigorous enforcement program is implemented soon, draft registration may evolve into a de facto voluntary program. Yet vigorous enforcement implies significant social, economic, and political costs. Would the costs be worth shouldering or is it more sensible to abandon draf…
