Korea and The Ballot-The International Dimension in Korea Political Development as seen in Elections

Journal Title: International Journal of Korean History - Year 2006, Vol 10, Issue 1

Abstract

It would be no overstatement to claim that foreign rather than Korean scholars, and especially American ones, have been at the forefront of the studies on Korean contemporary politics conducted since 1945. However, during the early stages of such studies, rather than being motivated by pure academic interest, researchers tended to focus their attention on the conducting of analyses and evaluations of the United States’ policies toward Korea. In other words, the studies published by American researchers during this initial period were mainly concerned with an evaluation of U.S. policy in Korea, and with the ruling policies put in place by the United States Army Military Government in Korea (USAMGIK) during the military government period, or at the time of the establishment of the Republic of Korea.
