{"product_id":"another-cold-war-liberalism","title":"Another Cold War Liberalism","description":"This Element revisits the conceptual history of freedom and democracy in Cold War South Korea. Cold War liberalism is usually told as a North Atlantic story of defensive anti-communism, the 'liberalism of fear', and pluralist scepticism towards mass politics. Yet behind that veneer lay another face - the technocratic administrative state - that became dominant once Cold War liberalism reached the decolonising periphery under the rubric of 'modernisation'. Through a conceptual historical analysis, this Element traces how freedom and democracy were continually recombined with nationalism, developmentalism and diverse moral-economic registers, generating conceptual problematics the metropolitan tradition had rarely been compelled to confront. From the Founding Constitution through 'Korean-style democracy' to the minjung turn and democratic transition, Cold War Korea emerges not as belated reception but as a vantage from which liberalism's constitutive tensions become visible.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57502266753397,"sku":"9781009513777","price":18.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/another-cold-war-liberalism","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
