Summary

Half a century since adoption of democracy in South Korea, the Korean people's high hopes for popular governance have not been met. There is widespread skepticism about what Koreas implementation of democracy has brought to the nation and whether it will be able to respond effectively in the future to the demands of an evolving society and world.
