This monograph presents a comprehensive study of the phenomenon of
traditional Confucian democracy – from the ontological foundations to the case
study of its historical and cultural specifics, socio-economic and political
dynamics in the Republic of Korea – in the context of realizing prospects for
bridging the historically and axiologically conditioned dichotomy of East and
West. This monograph also explains to what extent the values, customs and
traditions of the Republic Korea are Confucian and discusses how this is
relevant to the democratic practice and amazing success of multifaceted
modernization in the Republic of Korea. By analyzing an impressive array of
scholarly works on the ease or difficulty of integrating Western democracy with
a Confucian outlook, the authors examine the prospects for such integration
going forward. The monograph outlines po ssibilities for transition countries,
like Ukraine, to make use of the experience of the Republic of Korea and other
“Confucian Tigers” for a catch-up economi c and political modernization. The
monograph is intended for the academic community and all others interested in
the impact of Confucianism on contemporary globalization.
