The Theory of Mass Dictatorship: A Re-examination of the Park Chung Hee Period
Abstract
The theory of mass dictatorship, informed by and in critical dialogue with the recent European scholarship of fascist and dictatorial regimes, allows new insights into the Park Chung Hee regime and its relationship with the people of Korea, focusing on the structure of consent of the people for the regime. Challenging both nationalist and minjung narratives as well as commonly held views on the authoritarianism and the democratization movements, the theory of mass dictatorship argues for a multifaceted approach to the Park period, shifting the focus away from the previous domains of institutions and the political to the domain of the cultural the everyday lives of ordinary people in all of their multiple, variegated, and often conflicting dimensions.
