Why developmental citizenship, why China? An analytic introduction
Since the late twentieth century, many of the former socialist countries have tried to thoroughly remold (or marketize) the socialist system of work and distribution for the sake of rapid economic
Developmental pluralism and stratified developmental citizenship
Developmental citizenship, which assumes the qualities of both political and social citizenship, has decisively shaped the political, social as well as economic relations between many postcolonial states and their respective citizenries. It is the historical imperative of national development that has even induced many state-socialist countries to embark on ideologically self-contradicting paths toward various types of market economies. In China’…
China's ethnic minority and neoliberal developmental citizenship
This study examines the changing nature of ethnic minority citizenship under China’s pragmatist developmental transition. Our analytical focus is placed on Yanbian Koreans in the Northeast region of the country. In the socialist period, Yanbian’s Korean Chinese population developed a form of socialist ideological citizenship, but it had to be refashioned into a complex set of developmental requirements and opportunities under post-socialist refor…
Compressed Modernity in South Korea
This chapter presents a formal definition and core theoretical components of compressed modernity, explains historical and structural conditions for compressed modernity, and discusses the historical and theoretical relevance of compressed modernity beyond the South Korean context. Compressed modernity is a civilizational condition in which economic, political, social, and/or cultural changes occur in an extremely condensed manner in respect to b…
Individualization without Individualism
1 China here includes both mainland China and Taiwan. 2 Second modernity (Beck and Grande 2009) is explained in detail in the following section. 3 Another region in which an extremely low fertility rate is prevalent is Southern Europe East Asia, however, has caught up with Southern Europe in low fertility rates. 4 Numerous collaborative research groups-some being purely academic, others being policyoriented-exist in East Asian countries in order …

Developmental Politics in Transition
Blending theory and case studies, this volume explores a vitally important and topical aspect of developmentalism, which remains a focal point for scholarly and policy debates around democracy and soc
The second modern condition? Compressed modernity as internalized reflexive cosmopolitization
Compressed modernity is a civilizational condition in which economic, political, social and/or cultural changes occur in an extremely condensed manner in respect to both time and space, and in which the dynamic coexistence of mutually disparate historical and social elements leads to the construction and reconstruction of a highly complex and fluid social system. During what Beck considers the second modern stage of humanity, every society reflex…
The stranded individualizer under compressed modernity
South Korean families have functioned as a highly effective receptacle for the country's highly compressed conditions of modernity and late modernity. It is as much due to the success of South Korean families as an engine of compressed modernity as due to their failure that they have become functionally overloaded and socially risk-ridden. Such familial burdens and risks are particularly onerous to South Korean women because of the fundamentally …
Beyond Neoliberalism
Compressed modernity and its discontents
According to conventional economic indicators, since late 1997 history has been reversed for South Koreans since late 1997. Their current financial crisis, which would have led to a moratorium without the emergency bail-out packae from teh International Monetary Fund, seems to require not only economic austerity for business firms and citizen but also a total devaluation of their developmental ‘micacle’ in the latter half of the twentieth century…
Sociology between Western Theory and Korean Reality
This article shows the historical phases of development of Korean sociology with a focus on its exposure to and interaction with western sociological thought. Towards explaining a disciplinary history of constant exposure, accommodation and criticism in regard to western social thought, the issues of universalism/particularism and theory/practice serve as focal points of discussion. While western sociology has provided an influential and persuasi…
