Leader Park Chung Hee's sense of backwardness and urgency led him to rely on familial, school, and regional ties to expedite the economic transformation. \u003ci\u003eLate Industrialization, Tradition, and Social Change in South Korea\u003c\/i\u003e elucidates how a country can progress economically while relying on traditional social structures that usually fragment political and economic vitality. The book proposes a new framework for macro social change under late industrialization by analyzing the specific process of interactions between economic tasks and tradition through the state's mediation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on interviews with bureaucrats in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry as well as workers and others, Yong-Chool Ha demonstrates how the state propelled industrialization by using kinship networks to channel investments and capital into \u003ci\u003echaebǒl\u003c\/i\u003e corporations. What Ha calls \"neofamilism\" was the central force behind South Korea's economic transformation as the state used preindustrial social patterns to facilitate industrialization. Ha's account of bureaucracy, democratization, and the middle class challenges assumptions about the universal outcomes of industrialization.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLate Industrialization, Tradition, and Social Change in South Korea \u003c\/i\u003eis also available in an open access edition, DOI 10.6069\/9780295753249\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eYong-Chool Ha\u003c\/b\u003e is Korea Foundation Professor of Korean Social Science at the University of Washington.
