Specifikacia The Logic of Compressed Modernity Kyung-Sup Chang
Most theories of modernity are based, explicitly or implicitly, on the development of Western societies since the late medieval period and they generally assume that modernization was a process that took place over several centuries. But these theories are of limited value for understanding the development of societies in Asia and other parts of the world where the process of modernization took place under different circumstances and often in a rapid and highly compressed fashion - not over centuries but in decades. Asian societies have been propelled into modernity too, but theirs is a compressed modernity which displays very different traits.In this important book, Chang Kyung-Sup provides a systematic account of this "compressed modernity" and uses it to analyse the extreme social changes, complexities, and imbalances found in South Korea and other East Asian societies.
