Full title: Was Chosŏn Korea structurally incapable of modernizing on its own terms? Or did a reform effort along the lines of the Meiji Restoration have thecapacity to succeed in Chosŏn Korea?
You do not need to analyse the full breadth of Chosŏn reform efforts or political history Pick a few particular historical works and cases or particular perspectives/eras.
I am not searching for a particular answer. You have to consider different perspectives regarding the question, and I want you to defend a particular argument with historical evidence
through a clear, well-written essay.
Use the sources I uploaded, you don’t need to find other sources.
Please read the rules of footnotes and bibliography carefully.
