In particular, this book pays attention to aspects of Korean politics that are not easily explained by any single framework of feudality, pre-modernity, or modernity, and tries to capture the complexity with Ernst Bloch\u2019s concept of \u201cthe simultaneity of the non-simultaneous\u201d. The concept of the simultaneity of the non-simultaneous can be used to capture a phenomenon that is not easily accounted for by a single coherent theoretical framework. It becomes more useful when trying to find a certain order amongst complex historical phenomena that developed over a very long period of time. This study also adopts concepts from Weber\u2019s political sociology, including the will to power, authority, ideology, domination, war, and others, and mobilizes theory from many other great thinkers to describe Korean political history, including Aristotle, Confucius, Dasan Jeong Yak-yong, and Master Wonhyo. It also serves as a research guide for students by providing historical reviews of a range of topics. Korean politics has gone through modernization, industrialization, democratization, and post-modernization combined with an IT revolution in a very short period of time. It is not easy to explain such complex dynamics in a single and universal political theory. It is highly commendable that the author attempts to capture the complexity with the concept of the simultaneity of the non-simultaneous. At the same time, it shows the development of Korean scholarship in the field, which is making efforts to explain the complexity of Korea with its own theory.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;8428&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;3\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text] Date &amp; Time:\u00a0Thursday, 23 November, 14:00-16:00 Location: Room #303, SNUAC(Bldg#101) Inquiry:\u00a0Nahyun Lee \/ +82-2-880-2868 \/ julianalee@snu.ac.kr [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_text_separator title=&#8221;About&#8221;][vc_column_text] Shortlisted for IBP 2017 Korean Language Edition [Simultaneity of Non-Simultaneous: Multiple Temporalities of Modern Korean Politics], Hyug Baeg Im, Korea University Press, 2014.
