Description: South Korea's economic success has often been called a miracle. There has been an ongoing debate about the factors behind its success, which has attracted the interest of not only academics but also policy practitioners. Korea's experience holds relevance for other developing countries that want to catch up with advanced economies in a short period of time, as Korea did. A careful study of Korea's economic history is also essential to chart its future path in the face of new challenges. Thus, in 2008, a project to compile the 60-year history of the Korean economy was started to contribute to the discussion. For this purpose, the issues were categorized into five areas: General economic policies (i.e., macroeconomic, financial market, fiscal, taxation, and competition policies); Industrial growth; External economic relations; Territorial development; Social policies.
