New Korea 新韩国 下载 fb2 pdf rb kindle 115盘 极速 azw3

In 1953, South Korea was rated by the U.N. as the poorest

country in the world. Five decades later, it is the fifteenth

largest economy. Now, South Korea's decisions on how to manage its

society and its role as a modern democracy while also establishing

its policy regarding reunification with North Korea will determine

where the country will go in the next fifty years. "The New Korea"

examines the political, economic, industrial, and societal aspects

of Korea today. Will it continue to enjoy an economic boom through

new industries while competing against low-wage countries like

China and India? Will it return to its role as a stomping ground

for other powers? And what should Westerners pay attention to in

terms of investment and business opportunities? As South Korea

enters the most critical phase of its journey, it is crucial that

we understand the factors involving its decisions and evolution.

"The New Korea" is a fascinating account of what is and may become

the state of this important region.
