About the Book
Democracy and Human Rights in the Kim Dae-jung Era is a collection of six chapters that analytically examine former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung’s philosophy, ideas, policies, achievements, and commitment to democracy, human rights, and peace, and use them to assess the current state of democracy and human rights in today’s South Korea. Edited by Jin-Wook Shin, the volume is part of a series of books published by the Academy of Kim Dae-jung Studies and includes authors from the disciplines of history, sociology, political science, and law.

The AREA Book Talk Series (online via Zoom) will be continued.
The Book Talk Series gives experts from AREA Ruhr the chance to meet up with authors of newly released academic books that deal with topics related to East Asia from a wide variety of disciplinary perspectives to discuss their novel publications.
