Abstract: | During the democratic transition in South Korea, a broad middle class/working class coalition was initially strong enough to wring political concessions from the authoritarian regime but soon dissolved, raising important questions concerning the internal composition and ideological divisions of the alliance. This article, by exploring the relationship between class structure and class consciousness, aims to unfold one strand of mechanisms that explain why the political class coalition was so precarious and short-lived. |
