다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Recently Korea has been an object of growing interest owing to its remarkable economic achievements. The purpose of this presentation is to discuss, from somewhat long-ranged perspective, Korea's economic development which is the core of its modernization. My presentation is composed of three sections. The first section gives a brief outline of the economic development during the last two decades, with an emphasis on a series of development strategies which the Korean government adopted according to the shift in policy priority. In the second section, some historico-cultural heritages are examined in an attempt to find out the roots of some essential factors of the economic development, and hopefully, arrive at deeper understanding of Korea's modernization. Lastly, a summary of the foregoing discussion and an enumeration of the major problems that the Korean economy faces are given.
