"Transforming Korean Politics: Democracy, Reform, and Culture is a magisterial work from an authoritative senior scholar. It is a sweeping account of democracy in Korea only a scholar of Professor Kihl's experience and learning can write. It is analytically rigorous, theoretically informed, thoroughly researched, and, most characteristically, marked by wisdom. The work demonstrates a master's command of the complexity of Korean politics." - C.S. Eliot Kang, Northern Illinois University"
