Chang Kyung-Sup is a Professor of Sociology at Seoul National University.
“An original and fascinating work by a distinguished and globally versed Korean sociologist, critically reflecting on the societies of the multi-faceted ‘compressed modernity’ coming out of the extraordinary rise and transformation of South Korea and of East Asia.” Göran Therborn, University of Cambridge “An important view from the dynamic East Asia, this book is an excellent presentation of compressed modernity theory as a surpassing of classical modernization theory. A must-read for scholars of development and of South Korea and Asia in general.” Paget Henry, Brown University “The Logic of Compressed Modernity provides a stimulating discussion of the particularly relevant historical case of South Korea, from which Chang articulates key principles that help explain the past and orient the possible futures of “compressed” societies. I recommend brushing up on South Korea history first so that you are prepared to appreciate Chang’s eloquent theorizing from this case: the theoretical payoff is well worth it.” Social Forces
