The Constitutional Basis of Civil Governance in the Choson Dynasty

This book introduces the Joseon dynasty’s ruling system, which managed to embody Confucian ideology in a political order that used elaborate systems and apparatus to prevent the concentration of power in any one center. It offers a broad examination of the Joseon system of civilian governance, including the Government Service Examinations where officials were selected based on knowledge of Confucian classics, the keeping of “Joseon Sillok (The Annals of Joseon Dynasty)” records that kings were not even allowed to read, and a system of audits and inspections to curb the tyranny of high-ranking officers. It is one of the most comprehensive works ever published in English on the workings of Joseon government.
