"This research paper discusses the following topics: (1) the process through which South Korea modernized itself economically and politically in the post-World War II period and became the 11th largest economy, especially the expanded role of the state in directing and otherwise fostering economic development; (2) the interrelationship between national economic policy and economic progress in providing a framework within which political power could be shared more broadly --i.e. Asian democracy, Korean style; and (3) the prospects and challenges facing South Korea as it seeks to consolidate its economic gains, maintain political stability and achieve other social goals. As appropriate, comparisons are drawn between the experience of South Korea and those of other industrializing countries, including Taiwan and..."

"After world war two, Korea's product facilities and the economy as a whole was destroyed. Korea became mainly dependent on foreign aid and financial assistance especially from US. South Korea was facing a sever scarcity of raw materials in addition to high inflation that had a backward effect on the economy. In 1958, prices were stabilized, as the government intensified its efforts in order to promote industrialization especially in power generation, automobile, Textile, and cement production. As a first step to industrialization, South Korea started to produce fertilizers and steel locally in order to reduce its dependence on importation."

ECONOMIC SITUATION IN KOREA IN LATE-1997
"Introduction
This research examines the economic situation in the Republic of Korea (South Korea) in late-1997. The economic situation in Korea in late-1997 did not develop overnight, although media reports frequently imply that such is the case. Rather, the current economic situation in Korea is the product of decades of social, political, and economic policy and management.
The Long-Term Development of the Problem
Important social goals of successive Korean governments have been to extend meaningful education to all citizens of the country and to provide high standards of health care for all citizens. The government also has sought to improve the economic we ..."

"Analysis of South Korean Foreign Trade Patterns
Introduction
After World War II, South Korea was largely agricultural and poor, while the North had most of the industry and mineral wealth, developed largely by Japan in the colonial era (Facts about Korea, 1993). This disparity continued until the 1960s, when the South Korean economy began to industrialize and expand, at the same time the North's began to stagnate. Today, the situation is the reverse of what it was in the 1940s and 1950s; the South is relatively rich and industrialized, and the North poverty-stricken and isolated, no longer subsidized by the former USSR.
The story of South Korea's economic development is a textbook case of how an underdeveloped country transforms itself into an ..."

Abstract
In 1992 South Korea stood as a model of prosperity and economic innovation. Only three years later, South Korea followed the rest of East Asia into an economic meltdown. This paper gives a detailed economic history of South Korea and examines the harsh economic policies imposed by the IMF at the start of the Asian financial crisis that led to the economy's eventual collapse in 1998. It also examines how three years on, South Korea faces an unbalanced recovery and a labor movement badly wounded by neo-liberalism, while the majority of its people suffer rising insecurity and falling incomes.
From the Paper
"The chaebol are huge, highly diversified, often vertically integrated conglomerates. (South Korea Business) The monoliths started out as small family-run businesses shortly after the war, and many still are family owned and operated. Hyundai and Samsung are two of the best known. "The chaebol account for about one-third of all industrial production, which forms the core of the Korean economy." (South Korea Business) Some critics say the chaebol have a finger in so many pies, and thus control so much of the overall economy, that they are, in effect, oligopolists, and are able to engage in price collusion.

"INTRODUCTION
Each country has its own particular rules on issues of import and export. American trade representatives have been pointing out regions of the world with protective trade policies that limit imports as a way of protecting indigenous business interests, and these officials have worked to try to open markets in countries with such policies. South Korea is an important trading partner for the United States, but it is also a country with rules and regulations concerning imports that prevent foreign firms from competing on an equal footing. This has reduced foreign investment in the region and has also created tensions with various trading partners. An examination of some of the rules and regulations affecting imports shows why this is so."

Abstract
In this paper the author looks at how the currency of South Korea, the won, de-valuated greatly against the American dollar. The author looks at how this devaluation affected South Korea's economy in that several of its businesses are on the verge of bankruptcy, unable to repay their massive foreign and domestic debts. The author looks at the request by South Korea for help from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the proposed plan by the IMF. In conclusion, the author states that there are clearly two parties of thought, some who believe the IMF plan will work and South Korea's economy will blossom and others who believe it will continue to deteriorate.

From the Paper
"The economic strategy emphasizing exports had produced a shortage of domestic consumer goods that was exacerbated by the increasing demands brought about by rising wages and the advance in living standards. Price controls imposed on producers of consumer goods discouraged the manufacture of these goods, and the rapid inflow of dollars expanded the money supply and inflation became a serious problem.
President Park addressed these problems by replacing the economic team in December 1978 and adopting stabilization measures. However, these methods caused a recession, produced a series of bankruptcies among small and medium loan-dependent enterprises, and increased unemployment. This situation was similar to Korea's current economic problems. However, foreign aid continued to flow into the country and the government and large companies were able to continue servicing their debts."

"Findings such as those observed by Kihara, Kihara, Ohya and Ichikawa (1998) lead to the question of whether prevention efforts in the United States are of benefit to foreign students, especially to students from South Korea. One study that sheds some light on this topic was conducted by Chou, Chin and Rodriquez (1998). In order to measure the effect of HIV 101 workshops on HIV knowledge, condom use self-efficacy, as well as intention to practice safer sex among immigrant and US-born Asians in New York City, the authors conducted a quasi-experimental, pretest-posttest design. Subjects in the study consisted of Chinese, Filipino, Indian, Korean, and Japanese workshop 101 participants."

"Overview of South Korea
To some extent Korea has never completely escaped from the legacy of the Hermit Kingdom, when the country went into self-imposed isolation almost 400 years ago in response to the Japanese and Manchus. It was one of the last countries in the world to establish contacts with the West in the late 19th century. Subsequent colonial exploitation by Japan during the first half of this century reinforced a defensive mentality among Koreans that still exists today.(Burton 1994)
But today the South Korean economy is once again booming after two years of the slowest growth since 1980. As a consequence of this expansion the government is now making a concerted effort to open up the economy to foreign investment. The GNP growth rate is expected to exceed 7% for all of 1994 as.."

From the Paper
"This paper will be concerned with the conflict between traditional values and Western influences in modern South Korea. Although Western influences are very strong in South Korea today, the nation as a whole has traditionally been resistant to all outside influences. For example, during the early history of the region, the nation of China had a powerful impact on the society and culture of both South Korea and Japan. In particular, China introduced the traditional values of Confucianism to both nations during that time. Nevertheless, "despite millennia of cultural and political ties with China, Korea maintained its individuality".
When Western missionaries and traders began arriving in Asia during the seventeenth century, most Koreans continued to be resistant to outside influences. Nevertheless, by the early ... "

South Asian Economics, 2006.
A review of the "spatial poverty trap".

Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of a "spatial poverty trap", identified by Angue Deaton and Jean Dreze. According to this paper, this refers to the tendency of poverty to concentrate in certain geographical locations within countries. This paper examines the most important contributing factors to this phenomenon.
From the Paper
"Furthermore the authors mention the issue of overall living standards improvement as a factor that hides specific instances of poverty. While government relief subsidies are offered for relocation programs in cases of radical economic change such as the move from traditional to commercial farming, these are hardly enough to cover the expenses of a family losing an entire livelihood. Such livelihoods are for example specifically lost by families who have been involved in traditional economic ventures such as fishing for centuries. These industries are replaced by commercial shrimp farms, for example. Government subsidies hide the empoverished nature of traditional communities whose livelihood is removed from their immediate environment. Subsidies then hide the problem while exacerbating it instead of relieving it in a targeted fashion like an improved or new policy might have done."

Abstract
This paper considers the best economic strategy for poor countries to develop and applies this to South Africa. The paper notes the need for an infrastructure and for foreign investment from multinational enterprises in particular, with South Africa having to overcome the economic damage done by the long-term and now abandoned policy of apartheid, which contributed to the high unemployment and poverty facing the country.
From the Paper
"Economic development is a subject of study in the West and a vital necessity for the poor countries of the world. Technology is identified as one of the four key elements for a country to generate a higher standard of living, along with natural resources, capital, and a skilled workforce. Emerging nations today can take full advantage of the technological developments that have been made by developed nations (Mobius 37). A country like South Africa has particular difficulty today because of the long neglect of proper development during the decades of apartheid, when racial divisions created a lopsided economic system where whites benefited and blacks did not."

Economic Sanctions Against South Africa, 1994.

From the Paper
"The purpose of this paper is to discuss economic sanctions used against South Africa to combat apartheid. Economic sanctions against South Africa were first enacted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1962. These sanctions included boycotting its goods and refraining from exporting goods to South Africa. Over the years, as the international community tried to end the system of apartheid, those sanctions, which the Assembly had repeatedly condemned as a "crime against humanity, were expanded.".
The United Nations Security Council instituted a voluntary arms embargo against South Africa in 1963, making it mandatory in 1977--the first time such an action had been taken against a member state. Also in 1977, the Assembly asked the Council to consider imposing mandatory economic sanctions, and in 1979, to..."

Abstract
This paper attempts to estimate what the real total economic cost of the Vietnam War was to the United States. The paper concludes that a reasonable estimate of the economic impact of the Vietnam War on the American economy is that an entire year's worth of productive activity was used to fight the war.
From the Paper
"The Vietnam War was the defining experience for a generation of Americans. Indeed, it is arguably one of the defining experiences of America as a whole in the Twentieth Century. Its impact on the men who fought there, the men (and women) who did not, the American military in general, American society and popular culture during and following the war has been well documented. However, it was not just a life changing experience for soldiers and protestors, or a force for social change, or even an inspiration for thousands of books and dozens of movies. War is not least an economic event. In addition to being a military defeat, a political blunder and a human tragedy, the Vietnam War was also an economic disaster."
