This book provides an insightful analysis of Korea's remarkable economic growth and the role of international trade in this process. The book traces the economic development of Korea, from being one of the poorest countries in the 1960s to becoming a global leader in high-tech industries. The authors analyze the changes in Korea's industrial structure and how they have shifted the economy from an agricultural-based to a manufacturing and high-tech industry. The book also provides a critical review of different theories and perspectives that explain Korea's rapid growth, including the role of R&D, technology spillover, and productivity. Additionally, the book explores the implications for developing countries seeking economic development and the need for technological innovation to sustain long-term growth. This book is a must-read for researchers, policymakers, and students interested in the Korean economy and the nexus between international trade and economic growth.
