Industrialization and the State The Korean Heavy and Chemical Industry Drive

This volume provides an analytic history of Korea's move away from generalized support for exports of manufactures to a policy of targeting specific industries, as part of the heavy and chemical industry drive of the 1973-1979 period. The heavy and chemical industry drive is sometimes held up as a model for other developing countries as they attempt to develop an industrial sector that is more skill- and capital-intensive. The analysis presented in this volume offers conclusions that may be useful for policy reform in other developing countries.Stern, Joseph is the author of 'Industrialization and the State The Korean Heavy and Chemical Industry Drive' with ISBN 9780674452251 and ISBN 0674452259.
