Political Aspects Government

The document summarizes key political aspects of South Korea, including that it is a presidential republic with its capital in Seoul and legislature as the National Assembly. Under Kim Dae-jung's government in the 1990s, political power shifted from the southeast to the southwest region. The military was also depoliticized, and democratization led to a rise in civil society. Current trends involve dismantling Cold War structures to establish a more democratic and independent society, though this has resulted in social and political conflicts.

Government

 Country: Republic of Korea


 Capital: Seoul
 Government type: Presidential Republic

Political/Legal Structure

 In the political realm, under the Kim Dae-jung government, power shifted from the Kyongsang
area in the southeast to Cholla in the southwest.
 In terms of civilian-military relations, the government has become fully civilian, as the Korean
military was completely depoliticized in the early 1990s.
 The most impressive gains, however, were made in the area of democratization, with the rise of
a civil society.

Employment/Labor Laws

 Equal treatment principle (Article 5 of the Labor Standard Act)


 Labor Contracts (Article 15)
 Wages (Article 43)
 Working hours (Article 50)
 Women’s right (Article 65)

Current Political/Legal Trend

 The new leadership has attempted to dismantle social, economic, and political structures that
were formed during the Cold War and to establish a more democratic and diplomatically
independent society. Such an approach has resulted in further social and political conflict, trials
and errors in policy, civic distrust, and a lingering leadership crisis.
