Applying Korea’s Experience to Theory & Practice:
Through top-down mobilization and bottom-up demand channeling, Korea as a nation could align and harmonize its national goals and work together to achieve them. In seeking to apply Korea’s experience to other countries, we are reminded of the importance of ensuring active public discourse over national needs and national direction. For this, we see how critical it is to keep people empowered and let them take ownership of the nation. After all, democracy may take different forms at different stages of national development, but the spirit of democracy has always been there, making the people see themselves as the owners of the nation.
