In the postwar period, Korea s economic and social-political
metamorphosis is a rare example of a successful transition from one
of the world s poorest developing countries to a highly
sophisticated industrial society an experience which many
developing countries are keen to emulate. The change is
particularly significant as Korea was able to reduce poverty and
keep social inequality at a modest level during its rapid economic
development. This volume analyzes the Korean transition in regards
to the political and institutional foundation of its government and
public policies. The government of Korea single-mindedly carried
out public policies to stimulate economic growth, but the
government and public policies have themselves been affected and
changed by the process. The contention of this volume is that the
transition of Korean society and the evolution of the Korean
government are the results of two-way interactions. In this
context, the volume analyzes the way in which the dynamics of
public administration were shaped within the Korean government and
the kinds of public policies and instruments that were adopted to
encourage this economic and social development. This analysis will
allow a more complete understanding of the economic and social
transformation of Korea. Surprisingly, there is a paucity of
research on this aspect a gap which this volume seeks to fill. This
volume shows that it is necessary to maintain consistency and
coherence in government and public policy in order to achieve
economic and social transformation, making it of interest to both
scholars and policy-makers concerned with development in the
Asia-Pacific.
