Catching up through international linkages: Science, technology and the Korean experience

Author

Abstract

Despite its geo-political and geo-economic disadvantages, Korea has been able to transform itself from a foreign-aid recipient into a global actor in science and technology within a relatively short period of time. It was these twofold disadvantages that exerted pressure on Korea to look outward for science, technology and economic development; Korea was at the same time bound by geo-political constraints in pursuing international interaction. This article reviews how Korea has used international linkages in building capacity, acquiring technology, and catching up with advanced countries, and derives policy implications for developing countries with similar geo-political and geo-economic features.
