The Rise of South Korea in the Global Economy Book Reviews

The Rise of South Korea in the Global Economy by Peter Lowe Book Summary

This textbook examines South Korea’s emergence as an economic power, since the devastating economic ruin created by the Korean War of 1950-1953. As one of the original 'Asian Tigers', its economic transformation has been nothing short of remarkable. The country has overcome every setback, including its humiliating financial crisis of the late 1990s, to reach its position, today, as a major force on the global economic stage. The challenge for this relatively small country is how to ensure it stays ahead of the competition in today’s increasingly multipolar world order. In particular, the rise of the BRICS economies is already creating both challenges and opportunities for South Korea's leaders and entrepreneurs. Yet, an even more sinister threat to its economic growth will arise from any return to hostilities with its unpredictable neighbour, North Korea.

The case study will support A Level & IB Geography teachers and students. In addition, it will be of relevance to many others with an interest in the emergence of economic powers and the globalisation of the world economy.

Images, videos, multiple-choice review questions, exam-style questions and further tasks / discussion questions are provided to create a more interactive and educational experience for the reader.
