Introduction

Moreover, studies focused on the rational aspects of state bureaucracies have approached recruitment issues primarily in functional or technical aspects, and those studies have failed to consider the institutional prerequisites of late industrialization and its relationship to the character of the regime that leads the industrialization drive. As we have observed in various cases of late industrialization, different historical conditions have shaped different patterns of recruitment of the state bureaucracy. Any state-led late industrialization cannot be successful without appropriate sources for the recruitment of capable bureaucrats, and the pattern of recruitment is likely to be determined by historical and structural conditions of the industrial take-off and by the character of political regime that drives the economic development. Therefore, from a broader context of late industrialization, we can observe varying patterns of recruitment in different late industrialization cases. The developmental state in South Korea was a powerful agent of social change. Unparalleled in its influence on society, the state carried out bold economic development plans that produced one of the most successful cases in development of the twentieth century. However, the policies and plans that produced rapid growth also planted the seeds for the developmental state's decline. The contradictions of autonomy and of institution apparently were accentuated and exacerbated by two important policies adopted by the South Korean state: industrial policies supporting the growth of big businesses, and repressive labour policies. These policies shaped two powerful groups which made strong demands for reductions in the degree of, and changes in the methods of, state economic intervention. The state, in response, undertook various economic reform measures throughout the 1980s.

Development of Democratization Movement in South Korea

In this paper we will analyze the process of democratization in South Korea, making emphasis on the role of social movements (students, workers and sectors media), their alliances and forms of struggle, by which in 1987 reached a democratic (liberal-representative-formal). So I intend to explain this process as a result of participation and subaltern mobilization of civil society and not a mechanical event or as a result of alliances and conspiracies among the ruling elites. On the other hand, it is important to study the economic structure of South Korea as being an agricultural country became ...
