Ruling the Savage Periphery: Frontier Governance and the Making of the Modern State

Introduction to Lean Innovation

Making the world a better place is a messy prospect. However, innovators, whether directing groundbreaking research, designing new products, empowering communities or building new startup businesses, all must take similar first steps to be successful: knowing who one is helping, how and why help is needed and how a proposed solution might benefit its intended recipients. This is a challenging, but critical, first step to take.

The Survival of the Chosŏn Dynasty in the Imjin War (1592-98) and the Issue of Governance

Within three weeks of the invasion, the Japanese took Hansŏng, the capital of Chosŏn, and King Sŏnjo fled to the north. Japan’s sudden invasion dealt a blow of life or death to the dynasty King Sŏnjo had inherited. Seven years later, Japan’s invader regime gave up the war without achieving anything and, two years later, it collapsed. Ming China which sent a rescue force to Korea suffered heavy casualties and financial losses.
