The Korean Economy

The Korean Economy: From Growth to Maturity takes an in-depth amalgamated look at the evolution of Koreaâs globalization drive from the early 2000s (Kim Dae-jung regime 1998â2003) to the present period (Park Geun-hye 2013â2017). The book discusses the role of foreign companies on the sustainability of Koreaâs economic growth the relationship between the chaebol and the MNCs the evolution of Korea's nation brand and the role of the state in Koreaâs new economic trajectory (globalization) since the 2000s. With data collected from fieldwork the book provides both empirical and qualitative insights (economic socio-cultural and political economic analysis) into the Korean political economy and would be a very useful reference to other emerging economies experiencing similar globalization paths. .
