ECON 2876 Development and Social Justice in Korea
This course introduces students to the political and economic changes that South Korea experienced from the 1960s to the present and explores how these changes contributed to social unrest, to demands for greater democracy, and to other social justice issues. In doing so, it will address how South Korea's economic and political trajectory was informed by pressures at the international, national, and sub-national level and compare the South Korean case to that of other Asian nations.
