South Korea and Japan have had a close relationship from ancient history to the present day. Because of this reason, their economic growth and development have similarities and disparate differences.

Thanks to the globalization, Asian economy is drawing more and more the attention of the rest of the world. Nevertheless, when we talk about economic growth in Asia, we think mostly about China, India or Japan whereas South Korean economy is staying quite unknown in Belgium.

At the end of World War II, Korea was a poor former agricultural colony of Japan. But the rapid growth of Korea’s industrial economy has been remarkable. The economy of South Korea is now the third-largest in Asia and the 13th largest in the world by GDP as of 2007. To trace back the economic development of South Korea, the former president Park Chung-Hee played a pivotal role, and was credited for shifting its focus to export-oriented favoring a few large conglomerates. Unlike his predecessors, Park showed a strong commitment to economic development, believing good economic performance as a primary means for enhancing his political legitimacy. Under the President Park Chung-Hee’s era, the government played a dominating role in a

South Korea was a case of successful late development under state authoritarianism. During the period of early industrialisation, the state was perceived as a highly corrupt due to the strong relationship between the state and Chaebol (big business). The era of rapid industrialisation and the strong relationship between the state and the Chaebol contributed to the uncertainty of the state-business relationship between social circles (Thirkell-White: 2002). As the Chaebol and the state were heavily interdependent; the Chaebol were significant providers of welfare, in return for financing the political functions of the state. Eventually, the Chaebol began to question the returns it got from supporting state institutions, and the relationship began to disintegrate (Thirkell-White: 2002). Suspicion of corruption led to the adoption of more ‘transparent’ and ‘liberal’ growth policies, known as the segyehwa, or globalisation policy (Thirkell-White: 2002). Given access to higher productivity and growth, the Chaebol gained more power independent from the state. This led to extensive market liberalisation, focused on short term gains financed by the state which produced disastrous consequence, evident in the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997 (Thirkell-White: 2002). The point is that during the time of Korea’s rapid industrialisation, the capitalist class was largely a product of the state (Thirkell-White: 2002). The state had leverage over the economy, rather than the economy having
