South Korea: GNP After World War II
[ send me this paper ]

Clearly, when one analyzes the history of such so-called newly industrializing countries such as South Korea, Singapore and Brazil, one will readily find that the political factors of institutions, ideology, culture, policies and political elites have significantly contributed to this economic success.
