Since World War II, accompanied by rapid economic development of SouthKorea completed the process of political democratization, from authoritarian rule toward democracy. South Korea's political transition both domestic factors also have an international element, the US-South Korea has long been a special relationship between the U.S. and South Korea in the process of political democratization plays a critical role.This paper is divided into four parts: first on the Korean political transformation of domestic and international background. Economic development, social structure changes, raising the level of education, opening to the outside world's further expansion as well as changes in the international environment is the main reason for the democratization of South Korean politics.Secondly, briefly describe the process of democratization of Korean politics, grafting from the U.S. system of democracy, after 32 years of military authoritarian rule, the last a short period of time to complete the political process of democratization.Third, multi-angle analysis of the United States in Korea in the process of political democratization and the role of the main policy. For the United States in Korea in the process of political democratization and the role of policy can be divided into several levels discussed. Republic of Korea established the constitutional framework of the system is in the United States can not be achieved by the "United States of the zone," the reunification of the Korean-based institutions circumstances, in order to prevent left-wing forces in control of the Soviet Union and in-depth development of the entire Korean Peninsula one of the measures taken. The inertial guidance of the Cold War mentality in the United States throughout the process on the Korean assistance, to maintain political stability in South Korea to deal with the threat of communism is the prerequisite of maintaining the South Korea-US relations, when the democratic transformation and political stability constitute a conflict, the United States naturally chose the latter. Korean history in the development of the critical moment the United States had twice served as a dictatorship of the umbrella, so that the process of democratization in South Korea has repeatedly postponed. In the late 1980s, with the Korean forces in the growth of democratic forces, the United States to South Korea for the democratic movement and the authoritarian rule have taken place in the Government's attitude changes, which undoubtedly contribute significantly to the South Korean military authoritarian rule and the end of the Korean political democracy Development.Fourth, the conclusions.

The South Korean people continued the struggle for democracy and the democratic reforms gradually increase the intensity of the process of democratization in South Korea is the main driving force, but the United States to promote the role of the external can not be underestimated.In brief, the democracy is an imported product in no way,, the course is a democratic country based on their historical traditions and social development of long-term results can not be copied, it only in their own environment to develop the culture of growth, but also will be in the country's political, economic, the social movement will play the influential role.
