South Korea is often cited as a case of miraculous transformation
from poverty to prosperity. Korea's achievement of moving from one
of the world's poorest countries as recently as the early 1960s to
the ranks of the ten biggest economies only four decades later has
rightly attracted interest from policymakers and scholars alike.
This book identifies the factors that shaped relations between the
state and big business in Korea, the 'developmental alliance'.
These factors offer a cogent framework in which to identify and
predict changes in power relations between government and business.
Rather than merely offering a means of explaining the rapid-growth
phase of Korean development, the politics of the developmental
alliance also help us understand how and why the Korean miracle
turned to crisis in 1997 and why the subsequent recovery has been
so uneven. In this way, the book highlights the political power of
business, which is often underplayed in discussions of the
development of Korea. It also sheds light on the constraints on
policymakers during modernisation, and how power is shared among a
small number of powerful parties. Illustrating the tumultuous
politics of the 'developmental alliance' between business and
government during the rise and decline of South Korea's economic
miracle, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in
Korean politcs, economics and development,
