[265]-287) and index.This book explores how political opportunities afforded by democratization, including the relative balance of power between conservative and progressive civic actors, shape power relations between men and women in post-authoritarian Korea. Jones reveals that organized women can make a difference - depending on their strategic choices and alliances, and the manner in which they negotiate evolving political institutions. Moreover, democratic consolidation need not be led by political parties, but can provide surprising opportunities for an organized civil society to press for a deepening of political and human rights.Women and democracyKorea (South)FeminismKorea (South)WomenPolitical activityKorea (South)Women in developmentKorea (South)DemocratizationKorea (South)Women and democracyFeminismWomenPolitical activityWomen in developmentDemocratization305.42/095195Jones Nicola Anne854844MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814562603321Gender and the political opportunities of democratization in South Korea4030178UNINA
