La démocratie sud-coréenne : absence de logiques dynastiques ?

Marie-Orange Rivé-Lasan
Though the young South Korean democracy started in 1987, democratic political practices only appeared in the 1990s. Due to recurring political instability in the country during the 20th Century and the newness of the transition to democracy, the patrimonalization of elected political office is far from being obvious even if the traditional political culture rather favours it. Thanks to democratization, various movements of the civil society appeared in the 1990s, and one of the most striking changes (sometimes qualified as “civic political revolution”) of the two first legislative elections of the 2000s was their “black lists” spread on the Internet in order to block those candidates who were deemed not democratic enough. Though such actions have not yet fostered the patrimonalization of political office, they do not thwart it either. The entry of women into politics in the 1990s might mean the start of intra-family-like transmission of political duties, though remains to be confirmed. Given the stabilization of the democratic game, it is conceivable that family transmission strategies founded on political professionalism may be put into practice for the next generation.
