Power in 9 other places, the Taiwanese and Burmese political generations are discussed at length.</div>

<div dir="ltr">Dear Friends and Colleagues,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Is anyone aware of existing literature on generational politics in South Korea? I'm fairly certain nothing substantial exists in English. But in Korean? South Korean society is often segmented (uncritically) into three generations. While this may be defensible,
it usually isn't defended. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>There is, for instance, a fairly well developed literature in Taiwan (in Chinese) on what historical events have "made" Taiwanese generations. It is very nicely reviewed by Shelley Rigger in
<a href="http://www.eastwestcenter.org/publications/taiwans-rising-rationalism-generations-politics-and-taiwanese-nationalism">
this 2006 East-West Center <i>Policy Studies</i> monograph</a>. I would be very interested in reading anything that South Korean scholars have generated. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many thanks in advance.</div>
<div><br>
