Summary :

The talk is concerned with the relationship among crisis, structural
adjustment, and democratic consolidation in Korea.  Firstly, it will
critically review the politico-economic nature of ongoing crisis.
Secondly, it will explore the relevance of four major reform programmes
concerning the chaebol (Korean giant conglomerates), financial system,
industrial relation, and public sector. Thirdly, it will examine their
impacts on democratic consolidation.  By demonstrating the inadequacies
of the present reform programmes, the speaker will argue that the Korean
government should focus on "the Korean Way" enabling Korea to strike a
balance between the market economy and the liberal democracy in the 21st
century.
