Front cover

Korean Democracy in Transition Asia in the New Millennium Series Editor: Shiping Hua, Center for Asian Democracy, University of Louisville This series aims to publish creative works on Asia with new materials and/ or with new interpretations. We welcome manuscripts that look at the challenges and opportunities of Asia in the millennium from the perspective of politics, economics, and cultural-historical traditions. Projects that study the impact of Asian developments on the world are also welcome. Priority will be given to those manuscripts that examine the history and prospect of the democratization process of Asia. Also of our interest are those theoretically, empirically, and policy oriented works that can be used as teaching materials at undergraduate and graduate levels. Innovative manuscript proposals at any stage are welcome.
