With contributions from leading US and Korean scholars, Legal Reform in Korea explores this response to domestic and international pressures, applying a socio-legal perspective to both legal practices and the legal institutions themselves, which have become a major political issue throughout the developing world. An invaluable resource for students of Asian law and Korean studies. 410 0$aRoutledgeCurzon advances in Korean studies ;$v5. 606 $aLaw reform$zKorea (South) 606 $aLaw$zKorea (South) 615 0$aLaw reform 615 0$aLaw 676 $a340/.3/095195 701 $aGinsburg$b Tom$0572021 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783872503321 996 $aLegal reform in Korea$93745330 997 $aUNINA
