- This is the first critical and historical analysis of cultural policy in S. Korea, based on 5-years of intensive research and writing. It comprehensively examines the development of policy from 1910 to 2018, using extensive archive materials, policy texts, publications by cultural associations and activist groups, and interviews with policy makers and covering heritage, arts, media, cultural activism, content industries and pop culture. Its introduction offers a new, inter-disciplinary conceptualisation of the roles of the state. The five main chapters interweave cultural history and policy analysis, focusing on colonialism, nation building, democratisation, cultural economy and the Korean Wave respectively.
