From praetorianism to democracy

韩国于1948年5月5日建国,并于同年8月15日建立了李承晚政府。由于李承晚政府统治腐败,引发了1961年5月16日的军人政变,从此韩国开始了军人权威统治。在朴正熙军人集团统治期间,韩国经济高速发展。经济的进步推动了社会全面进步,同时也动摇了权威统治的基础。在20世纪后期的民主化浪潮的推动下,韩国实现了由权威统治向民主的过渡。1992年底金泳三当选总统,标志着韩国民主化进程的完成。Korea was founded on May 5th,1984,and set up Li Cheng Wan administration in the same year. It was the corruption of Li Cheng Wan administration that caused coup d'etat in 1961. Since then the praetcrian-ism began. During this period,the economy of Korea took off. With the development of the economy,every aspect of the society made progress,and at the same time it undermined the base of praetorianism. In the background of democratizing in the late 20th century,Korea finished the transformation from praetorianism to democracy
