Reviews
Chang Kyung-Sup, author of The Logic of Compressed
Modernity, Seoul National University:
Moon's book offers a timely and valuable account of civic activism's adaptive evolution in neoliberal South Korea. It lucidly explains how neoliberal transformations have activated, restructured and constrained the democratic social contributions of active citizens' organiztions.

John Lie, author of Han Unbound: The Political Economy of South
Korea:
From the vantage point of civic activism, Seungsook Moon casts a
bracing look at South Korean democracy and neoliberalism. Analytically acute and
deftly presented, Civic Activism in South Korea is not only a
challenging analysis of the country but also an important statement about the wider
world.
