This course analyzes the political and economic development in East Asia. It focuses on South Korea as the main case, while using Japan and China as comparative cases. After reviewing key theoretical approaches to the successful state-led development of East Asian economies since the 1950s, this course narrows its focus down on Korea. It explores how Korea has achieved dramatic economic and political development since the 1970s, faced a serious economic crisis in the late 1990s, and attempted to overcome new challenges since then. Utilizing the Korean case, this course analyzes the changing relationship between the state and market, the proper role of the state in economic development, and the political and economic paths that the East Asian economies (especially China) might take in the future.
