Free trade agreements (FTAs) are proliferating in the Asia-Pacific
region. For the first time, South Korea is pursuing such accords as
part of a strategy to restructure its economy and sustain the
recovery from its 1997-98 economic crisis. Should it open talks
with its largest trading partner, the United States? This study
examines the economic and political benefits and challenges of
pursuing bilateral FTA negotiations, the impact of a prospective
pact on other trading partners, on the Asia Pacific Economic
Cooperation (APEC) forum, and on the multilateral trading system.
Koreans living in the United States have generated an increase of
about 15 to 20 percent in trade between the United States and
Korea. This is one of the surprising conclusions reached in this
special report, which, upon the 100th anniversary of the migration
of Koreans from their homeland, looks at the impact of the 6 to 7
million people who make up this diaspora on both South Korean and
overseas economies. No country in history has ever succeeded in
building a developed and high-income economy without participating
in the global economy; globalization is imperative for economic
success. And one of the largest elements of globalization, in
addition to international trade and investment, is migration. In
The Korean Diaspora in the World Economy, experts hold up South
Korea as one of the most dramatic examples of that experience,
having gone from being a poor, underdeveloped country fewer than 40
years ago to becoming a postwar economic success story. This report
also looks at South Korea's role as a regional trading partner and
its present and future relations with North Korea.
