We are pleased to announce the fifth session of the regular open seminar series hosted by the Political Economy Team of Seoul National University’s Center for Contemporary Korean Studies.

This seminar will examine Korea’s experience of economic development from a global perspective and analyze its implications for both developed and developing countries. In particular, the seminar will explore the structural transformation of Korea’s political economy and its policy implications by focusing on Korea’s technological and industrial transition, as well as the failure of social partnership.

We warmly invite your interest and active participation.
