520 _aThe martial law crisis in South Korea as a pivotal moment in the nation’s democratic evolution. It analyzes the interplay between authoritarian governance and civil society mobilization, highlighting how public resistance played a crucial role in restoring democratic norms. The study contextualizes the crisis within South Korea's historical trajectory, emphasizing the lingering effects of military rule on contemporary political structures. It critiques the concentration of power in the presidency, arguing for the necessity of institutional reforms to enhance checks and balances. Furthermore, the paper draws parallels with global trends of democratic backsliding, illustrating the fragility of democratic institutions in the face of executive overreach. Ultimately, the lessons from South Korea's martial law crisis underscore the importance of civic engagement and robust democratic frameworks in safeguarding against future authoritarian threats.
