| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The new government led by President Park Geun-hye faced challenges that the previous government had largely failed to address: rising income disparity, stagnant growth, political reform, and foreign policy issues, including a nuclear North Korea and an assertive Japan. Park's foreign policy scored some successes while her old- style management of political affairs supported by the old guard caused a prolonged political stalemate with the opposition party. |
