 South Korea's Candlelight Revolution. The Power of Plaza Democracy by Mi Park
Between October 2016 and April 2017, more than 17 million South Koreans took to the streets to demand the resignation of their President over a corruption scandal. Without a single arrest or casualty, the 2016-2017 candlelight protests paved the way for a peaceful regime change in South Korea. In stark contrast to Korea's past when pro-democracy protests had been crushed by armed forces, South Koreans have ensured a peaceful and orderly transition of power in 2017. Exploring socio-political factors that contributed to the success of the Candlelight Revolution, this book sheds light on Korea's creative protest culture and the power of plaza democracy.
