The author renders a fascinating and innovative approach to the political economy of development and state-society relations in Korea through a constructivist analysis of geomantic arrangement of the capital city during three periods, the Joseon Dynasty, the Japanese colonial period, and the Park Chung-hee era. Bold in analytical construct, rich in historical narratives, and far reaching in policy implications.
