Park's annotated translation of a long-awaited book by Kim Ingeol introduces Anglophone readers to a path-breaking scholarship on the widening social base of political actors who shaped \"public opinion\" (\u003ci\u003ekongnon\u003c\/i\u003e) in early modern Korea. Initially limited to high officials, the articulators of public opinion as the state and elites recognized grew in number to include mid-level civil officials, State Confucian College students, all Confucian literati (\u003ci\u003eyurim\u003c\/i\u003e), influential commoners who took over local councils (\u003ci\u003ehyanghoe\u003c\/i\u003e), and the general population. Marshaling evidence from a wealth of documents, Kim presents a compelling case for the indigenous origins of Korean democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46441997697175,"sku":"9789004699175","price":6141.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789004699175.webp?v=1769120868","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/politics-of-public-opinion-local-councils-and-peoples-assemblies-in-korea-1567-1894-9789004699175","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
