Routledge Handbook of Korean
Politics and Public Administration
The Routledge Handbook of Korean Politics and Public Administration gathers the expertise of
leading international scholars to survey the full spectrum of contemporary South Korean
international relations, public management, and public policies.
Divided into four parts, the handbook covers a range of issues including: domestic Korean
political parties, elections and leadership, foreign policy, national security and relations with
North Korea, public administration, governance and finance, and economic, social and
environmental public policies.
Offering a complete overview of the field, the handbook is an invaluable resource for aca-
demics, researchers, policy analysts, graduate and undergraduate students studying South
Korean Politics and International Relations as well as East Asian Politics.
Chung-in Moon is Distinguished University Professor, Yonsei University, South Korea.
M. Jae Moon is Professor in the Department of Public Administration and Director of the
Institute for Future Government, Yonsei University, South Korea.
