Reviews
"Concern about inequality has grown not only in the advanced industrial states but in the developing world as well. Those concerns are not just economic, but extend to the political arena: that democracy might be damaged by an unequal distribution of income and assets. In this forcefully-argued comparative study of Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines - backed by broader cross-national evidence - Jong-sung You shows how inequality contributes to corruption. The mechanisms include elite capture, patronage and clientelism. This book is an important contribution to the study of inequality, corruption and of the new democracies of East Asia."

Synopsis
In this comparative, historical survey of three East Asian democracies, Jong-sung You explores the correlation between inequality and corruption in the countries of South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines. Drawing on a wealth of rich empirical research, he illustrates the ways in which economic inequality can undermine democratic accountability, thereby increasing the risk of clientelism and capture. Transcending the scope of corruption research beyond economic growth, this book surveys why some countries, like the Philippines, have failed to curb corruption and develop, whilst others such as South Korea and Taiwan have been more successful. Taking into account factors such as the success and failure of land reform, variations in social structure, and industrial policy, Jong-sung You provides a sound example of how comparative analysis can be employed to identify causal direction and mechanisms in political science., This comparative, historical survey explores the correlation between inequality and corruption in the countries of South Korea, Taiwan and the Philippines. Drawing on a wealth of empirical research, Jong-sung You illustrates the ways in which inequality can undermine democratic accountability, thereby increasing the risk of clientelism and corruption.
