RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 A Century of Contention in South Korea JF Asian Survey FD University of California Press SP 889 OP 910 DO 10.1525/as.2019.59.5.889 VO 59 IS 5 A1 Stent, Dylan YR 2019 UL http://as.ucpress.edu/content/59/5/889.abstract AB This paper examines a century of contentious politics in South Korea. I argue that there have been three distinctive eras of contention in modern Korea. The first two eras saw institutional arrangements limit the success of contentious campaigns. However, expanded repertoires in the third era allowed movements to succeed. I end by examining the role of social media in future movements.
