Authoritarianism and Opposition in South Korea
As one of the most successful ‘Newly Industrialized Countries’ and as the host for the 1988 Olympic Games, South Korea has become more and more important as a major international economic power. This development can be traced back through the struggles of the democratic movement against a military-based authoritarian regime which provided significant impetus for political change. First published in 1989, Authoritarianism and Opposition in South Korea draws on unofficial opposition documents and the author’s own experiences as an opposition activist to provide a unique historical and political analysis of the development of opposition in the 1970s under the regime of President Park. This era, when authoritarianism was at its height, saw the first establishment of the patterns of behaviour and the alignments of both the authorities and the opposition.
Holiness and Pentecostal Movements
Since the 1830s, Holiness and Pentecostal movements have had a significant influence on many Christian churches, and they have been a central force in producing what is known today as World Christianity. This book demonstrates the advantages of analyzing them in relation to one another. The Salvation Army, the Church of the Nazarene, the Wesleyan Church, and the Free Methodist Church identify strongly with the Holiness Movement. The Assemblies of God and the Pentecostal Assemblies of the World identify just as strongly with the Pentecostal Movement.

Protest Dialectics
1970s South Korea is characterized by many as the "dark age for democracy." Most scholarship on South Korea's democracy movement and civil society has focused on the "student revolution" in 1960 and the large protest cycles in the 1980s which were followed by Korea's transition to democracy in 1987. But in his groundbreaking work of political and social history of 1970s South Korea, Paul Chang highlights the importance of understanding the emergence and evolution of the democracy movement in this oft-ignored decade. Protest Dialectics journeys back to 1970s South Korea and provides readers with an in-depth understanding of the numerous events in the 1970s that laid the groundwork for the 198...

South Korea's Minjung Movement
The minjung (people's) movement stood at the forefront of the June 1987 nationwide tide that swept away the military in South Korea and opened up space for relatively democratic politics, a more responsible economy, and new directions in culture. This volume is the first in English to grapple specifically with the nature of a national development that lies at the center of the last three decades of tumult and change in South Korea.
The Palgrave Handbook of Mass Dictatorship
This book offers a fresh and original approach to the study of one of the dominant features of the twentieth century. Adopting a truly global approach to the realities of modern dictatorship, this handbook examines the multiple ways in which dictatorship functions - both for the rulers and for the ruled - and draws on the expertise of more than twenty five distinguished contributors coming from European, American, and Asian universities. While confronting the immense complexities of repression and popular response under dictatorship, the volume also poses a series of wide-ranging questions about the political organization of present-day mass society.
