Description: In Elites and Political Power in South Korea, Byong-Man Ahn examines problems related to Koreaʹs political and ruling systems. He examines the Korean government in a global context and explores Koreaʹs cultural and political matrix. The author goes on to analyze political power, political parties and the elites in terms of their contribution to the ongoing cycle of dominance. An understanding of Korean government is developed, with particular attention paid to the unique pattern of its administrative system vis-à-vis those of other systems.
