A Comprehensive Review of the History of South Korean Party Politics
The political parties in South Korea exhibit a distinctive feature of limited,dynamic variability.Before the era of the"Six-party"system,it was non-institutionalized;thereafter,it became institutionalized,and its study re-quires guidance from the scientific theory of Marxism.South Korean party politics are exclusionary,predominantly mo-nopolized by conservative parties.Regardless of changes in party names and personnel structure,power shifts between parties are primarily influenced by their ability to overcome crises and suppress opponents through"integration".In the new century,progressive forces in South Korea have been on the rise,but attention has been drawn to the rise of the pro-Japanese"new right".As the"Nationalist Forces",a direct descendant of the Minjung Party,is a right-wing faction within the conservative camp,the prospects for the government under the leadership of Yoon Suk-yeol are worrisome.
