Marshaling a vast array of new American and Korean sources, he explains why South Korea was one of the few postcolonial nations that achieved rapid economic development and democratization by the end of the twentieth century. Brazinsky contends that a distinctive combination of American initiatives and Korean agency enabled South Korea's stunning transformation. On one hand, Americans supported the emergence of a developmental autocracy that spurred economic growth in aNew Cold War history.DemocracyKoreaHistory20th centuryUnited StatesForeign relationsKoreaKoreaForeign relationsUnited StatesKorea (South)Politics and governmentKorea (South)Economic conditionsDemocracyHistory327.7305195Brazinsky Gregg1473526MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780981403321Nation building in South Korea3686726UNINA
