Abstract
This paper states that, although globalization has many powerful benefits, financial globalization is not necessarily always a force for good, as in the case of South Korea. The author points out that, before the 1997 crisis, South Korea had embraced globalization and had become one of the great economic success stories in history. The author relates that financial liberalization and globalization were perverted by powerful business interests, which resulted in a banking crisis, a currency crisis and, finally, a full-fledged financial crisis. The paper stresses that the villains of the Korean crisis were the family-owned conglomerates called "chaebol" and their allies in the pre-crisis Korean government. The paper also describes the steps taken by South Korea to stem the downturn and to re-emerge as the strongest economy among all the countries that have experienced financial crises.
From the Paper
"South Korea's macroeconomic fundamentals were strong before the crisis. In 1996 inflation in South Korea was below 5%, real output growth was close to 7%, and the country was expected to grow at a rate of more than 6% in 1997. The government budget was in slight surplus, while the current account deficit had fallen from 4.4% of GDP in 1996 to less than 2% in 1997. From a macroeconomic point of view, the South Korean economy seemed well managed, so the financial crisis cannot be attributed to macroeconomic fundamentals. Instead, the source of the crisis was perversion of the financial liberalization process, which had some particularly strange elements."

Abstract
This paper discusses the cause of the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997, and the South Korean government's reaction to monetary and financial pressures. According to this paper, the Asian financial crisis has many causes and consequences, but loans by U.S. banks to businesses in South Korea and elsewhere are an important part of the story. These loans helped create the crisis by supporting unsound investments and creating repayment obligations that Korean enterprises were unable to meet, thus undermining financial market confidence in the South Korean economy.
From the Paper
"For thirty years prior to the Asian' financial crisis South Korea enjoyed fast growth that translated into impressive economic performance, strong fiscal positioning, and macroeconomic stability (Radelet et al). Economic indicators including decreased inflation, increased saving rates, open economies, and thriving export segments made it impossible for economists to predict what was to follow. In the summer of 1996, the Asian financial crisis erupted in Thailand after the country had just experienced an influx in economic growth."

From the Paper
"The unprecedented economic growth of the Southeast Asian countries? in the 1980s and 90s was a result of ?opening-up? of their economies to take advantage of the globalization trend. This coincided with rapid appreciation of the Japanese yen in the mid-1980s that drove the cost of production sky high in Japan, forcing several Japanese companies to move their production facilities offshore?initially, to South Korea and Taiwan. The Japanese also started an aggressive policy of monetary expansion resulting in ?asset price bubble,? and triggering massive capital inflows into South Korea and Taiwan. By the late 1980s, the Korean and Taiwanese economies experienced a similar appreciation in their currencies, followed by similar policies and large capital outflows?to the neighboring Southeast Asian countries."

Abstract
The paper reviews the impact of the financial crisis upon Thailand, which then spread through Southeast Asia, and also reviews its present impact upon that nation and whether or not this impact can be considered positive or negative. The paper takes the view that the 1997 crisis was devastating initially for the people of Thailand. However, if there are any lingering effects, they are largely positive ones as the country has remodeled itself and revamped a financial sector that was plagued by a lack of transparency, proper over-sight and inefficiency.
From the Paper
"The 1997 financial crisis in Southeast Asia was a water-shed moment in many ways. Not least of all, the crisis in Thailand brought an unceremonious end to the heady optimism that had spread through the region during the course of the booming 1980s and 1990s. While economic growth in Asia during this period rewarded various groups unevenly - as is generally to be expected in predominantly free markets - there was a general economic healthfulness that offered the promise of still more gains in the future. Suffice it to say, these roseate projections for the future were turned up-side-down by the sudden collapse of the Thai baht and the subsequent currency devaluation experienced in other parts of Asia. This paper will briefly review the impact of the crisis upon Thailand (the nation wherein the problem began)."

Abstract
This paper examines the significance of the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s and its repercussions. It explains how the financial crisis provided an important lesson to the Asian economies affected in terms of allowing any degree of dependence on foreign investment. The writer discusses how the crisis induced a 'New Asian Miracle' in different Asian economies.
Outline:
Introduction
The Attractiveness of Asia
Reactions to the Crisis
American Dimensions
Asian Perceptions
Concluding Remarks
From the Paper
"Various domestic conditions have been connected to the Asian financial crisis of 1997-1998 but this paper centers on global forces that created unexpected change to induce the crisis at international as opposed to regional or national levels. Kawai Et Al stress that private capital flows to developing countries grew high in the 1990s so that a sudden drop in investment caused a 1994 crisis in Mexico and South America, then the East Asian crisis. (2005: 185) This World Bank-oriented article is typical of many that rather minimize the role of American patterns of investment that contributed directly to what Asian countries sustained in the 1990s. Throughout East and Southeast Asia governments noted fast falling markets and varied domestic responses as capital ceased to arrive as it had before from developed countries."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The 1997 East Asian financial crisis, also termed the IMF crisis locally within the region, saw the downturn of many formerly robust East Asian and Southeast Asian countries. The crisis began in Thailand and quickly spread throughout the region with sudden devaluation of currencies, stock markets and various other financial assets (Li). South Korea, being one of the globe's largest economies, seemed to have sufficient safeguards in place to prevent the massive currency devaluation that was so rapidly crippling the East Asian economies."

From the Paper
"South Korea has been an important connotation for modern history and the adverse impact of the Cold War. Korean history as such is over four thousand years old however even after treacherous Japanese and Chinese rule over Korea over the course of its history it did have several decades of democracy only to be marred by other invasions. Immediately after the Second World War, America and U.S.S.R. decided arbitrarily to occupy and divide North and South Korea across the 38th Parallel and it was mutually agreed upon that over the next couple of decades the region would be reunited into one Korea. However the spill-over effects of the Cold War, rather Capitalism versus Communism created what can be termed as ??Cold? Korea ?War?? which has led to extensive wars between the North and the South and even after five decades of division both the North and the South have only vastly grown in differences, cultures and economic development. While the North has remained impoverished and dependent on Chinese handouts and maintains one of the largest militaries in the world, USA brought South Korea under its wing and has created one of the world?s largest economies. It is a sharp contrast to the North with very little similarity except a violent history that was marred by foreign rule. South Korea today is a vibrant economy and although it has faced its share of problems with dictatorial regimes over the last couple of decade?s democracy has been widespread and successful and has led to strong economic growth and recovery."

Abstract
This paper reviews how in the contemporary context in the middle of the first decade of the 21st century, the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997-1998 seems a distant memory that has been obscured by the meteoric economic boom of China and the global changes that have occurred post-September 11, 2001. However this perspective risks ignoring the significance of this crisis given that the underlying structures of the global economy during this crisis, in particular the phenomenon of globalization and its primary institutions the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Trade Organization (WTO) continue to shape our economy today.

Abstract
This paper explains that the fighting between South Korea, supported by U.S.A., and North Korea, supported by the Soviets, has created such a long-lasting impact on North Korea that it will never again be able to trust the U.S.A., which also has an effect on the relationship of South Korea and the United States. The author points out that the U.S.A., as the 'Super Power,' utilizes its diplomatic relations with other countries to bring about foreign policies that are beneficial to South Korea. The paper relates that the U.S.A. is the most important economic partner of South Korea, one of the leading investors in the South Korean market, and the second largest export market for the U.S.A.; however, there have been disagreements over the trade policies.
From the Paper
"There is a general opinion that the Pacific War had dragged on for far longer than was necessary, and the Japanese had been willing to surrender a long time before they actually did, if their terms that the Emperor would remain in his position had been accepted earlier. In fact, this was what led to the occupation of Manchuria as well as the division of Korea into two factions, the North and the South. With the occupation of North Korea by the Soviets, there grew tensions along the border, there was a virtual Cold War taking place between the two sides, and since the Koreans are a nation of proud people, they were naturally resentful of those who had caused this division, the United States. The Americans in the meanwhile took an easy way out, and appointed the Japanese as administrators of local affairs in South Korea."

Abstract
This paper reviews the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997, thought to have marked a dramatic end to a period of unprecedented economic growth among newly industrializing nations of East Asia. Analysis of the crisis indicates that the revelation of its origins in the hidden and often corrupt relationships between government banks and enterprises of many of these economies has fostered a lack of confidence in the health and transparency of these economies. According to this paper, the lack of confidence has been with the fading of the immediate economic shocks of the Crisis the most lasting impact of this event.
