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 the process was largely one of 'constrained bureaucratic expansion.' The study illustrates how the earlier process of incorporation under Japanese hegemony shaped subsequent reincorporation under American suzerainty. Additionally, the analysis underscores the importance of geopolitical factors, and the interaction of the local situation with the world system in shaping the process of reincorporation
