International Reserves and Short-Term External Debt (Percent) lii | Foreword | Established in March 1971, the Korea Development Institute (KDI) is Korea’s oldest and best-known research institute in the fields of economic and social sciences. Its primary mission is to contribute to Korea’s development by setting long-term national agendas and providing policy recommendations based on rigorous analysis. Internationally, KDI has also sought to share Korea’s development knowledge with other countries that are facing the challenge of initiating and sustaining development. Since its establishment, KDI has conducted research on Korea’s development experience and sought to contribute to the socio- economic advancement of developing countries. With the Harvard Institute for International Development, KDI carried out Studies in the Modernization of the Republic of Korea: 1945-1975, which resulted in the publication of a ten-volume monograph series. This effort was followed by two subsequent joint projects with Harvard, covering Korea’s transition from an authoritarian developmental state to a democratic market economy. KDI also published The Korean Economy 1945-1995 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese colonial rule. Most recently, in cooperation with other public research institutes, KDI published The Korean Economy: Six Decades of Growth and Development. In addition, KDI has been leading research projects on the i Hyun Oh-Seok systemization and modularization of Korea’s development experience to provide benchmark case studies for developing countries under the Knowledge Sharing Program (KSP), covering such cases as the Saemaul Undong (New Village Movement) and the post-1997 economic crisis reforms and restructuring. In order to share Korea’s development experience and contribute to international development cooperation, KDI established the International Development Exchange Program (IDEP) in 1982, which in 2010 was expanded into the Center for International Development (CID). In conjunction with these efforts, and on the occasion of KDI’s 40th year since its founding, it is a great honor to publish Mr. Kim Chung-yum’s memoir. Starting his career as a central banker in the 1940s, Mr. Kim was a leading figure in economic policymaking in Korea for more than 30 years. During Korea’s “take-off” in the 1960s, he played a major role at the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Subsequently, he served as President Park Chung Hee’s Chief of Staff for more than nine years, from 1969 to 1978. Although the usual caveats apply to a personal memoir like this, Mr. Kim’s memoir is a true asset not only to KDI's publications but also to the literature of development. ii Foreword Lim Wonhyuk, Director of Policy Research at CID, oversaw this project from its inception and wrote the introduction for the memoir. Having first met Mr. Kim in 1995, he is grateful to Mr. Kim for providing valuable advice and guidance over the years and for agreeing to have his memoir translated and published for international distribution. He also thanks CID Research Associates Kim Yoon Jung, Woo Hye Young, Lee Taeyeon, and Kim Ha Yeon for their meticulous work on the manuscript. I hope that this memoir will be a valuable source of information to policymakers of developing countries and transition economies in promoting their own development in retrospect to the development strategies that enabled Korea to make the leap from one of the poorest countries in the world to the ranks of advanced industrial countries. Hyun Oh-Seok President Korea Development Institute iii Hyun Oh-Seok | Preface and Acknowledgements | For more than thirty years, I worked for the central bank of the Republic of Korea and the Korean government, beginning in 1944, when I started out as a clerk at the Bank of Chosun, the forerunner of today’s Bank of Korea, and ending in 1980, when I resigned from my post as Korean Ambassador to Japan. In 1950, I participated in the drafting of the Bank of Korea Act, and in 1953, when I was only twenty-nine, I wrote the entire text of the First Currency Reform. After that I was often involved in major Korean economic policy matters, either directly or indirectly. I had considered the Bank of Korea my lifetime employer, but in 1959 I was dispatched to the Ministry of Finance. I served as the Director-General of the Bureau of Finance through the end of the First Republic (1948-1960), the transition government (1960), and the beginning of the Second Republic (1960-1961). From 1962 to 1969, I served as Vice Minister of Finance, Vice Minister of Commerce and Industry, Minister of Finance, and, finally, Minister of Commerce and Industry. From 1969 to 1978, I was the Chief of Staff to President Park Chung Hee, and from 1979 to 1980, I was Korea’s Ambassador to Japan. As for my contributions to the field of banking and finance, I was responsible for the First and the Second Currency Reforms and was iv Preface and Acknowledgements closely involved in the Presidential Emergency Decree of August 3 in 1972, which froze informal money markets. I also supported the introduction of a value added tax (VAT). In the areas of industrial and social policies, I was involved in the export-oriented industrialization policies of the 1960s. Most of all, I played a critical role in the development of Korea’s heavy and chemical industries and the build-up of the defense industry. Furthermore, I dedicated myself to various issues in which President Park showed an interest: agricultural development, the reforestation of the mountains, the Saemaul Undong (New Village Movement), the construction of expressways, and the establishment of a medical security (national healthcare) system. Looking back, I must say I was daunted at times by the uphill struggle Korea faced. In the 1950s, when I was helping to rebuild and stabilize the economy after the Korean War (1950-1953), I wondered whether Korea, struggling as it was with “Asian stagnation” and the vicious cycle of poverty, could ever graduate from being a low- income country. In the 1960s, when I was involved in the First and Second Five-Year Economic Development Plans, I was determined to make the economy take off. In the 1970s, when Korea was becoming one of the newly industrialized economies, I recollect v Kim Chung-yum having worked single-mindedly, with a deep sense of achievement. This memoir is an attempt to record the Korean economic policies in which I was closely involved from the beginning of the 1950s to the end of the 1970s.

  • Record of North Korea's Major Conventional Provocations Since
    May 25, 2010 Record of North Korea’s Major Conventional Provocations since 1960s Complied by the Office of the Korea Chair, CSIS Please note that the conventional provocations we listed herein only include major armed conflicts, military/espionage incursions, border infractions, acts of terrorism including sabotage bombings and political assassinations since the 1960s that resulted in casualties in order to analyze the significance of the attack on the Cheonan and loss of military personnel. This list excludes any North Korean verbal threats and instigation, kidnapping as well as the country’s missile launches and nuclear tests. January 21, 1968 Blue House Raid A North Korean armed guerrilla unit crossed the Demilitarized Zone into South Korea and, in disguise of South Korean military and civilians, attempted to infiltrate the Blue House to assassinate South Korean President Park Chung-hee. The assassination attempt was foiled, and in the process of pursuing commandos escaping back to North Korea, a significant number of South Korean police and soldiers were killed and wounded, allegedly as many as 68 and 66, respectively. Six American casualties were also reported. ROK Response: All 31 North Korean infiltrators were hunted down and killed except Kim Shin-Jo. After the raid, South Korea swiftly moved to strengthen the national defense by establishing the ROK Reserve Forces and defense industry and installing iron fencing along the military demarcation line. January 23, 1968 USS Pueblo Seizure The U.S. navy intelligence ship Pueblo on its mission near the coast of North Korea was captured in international waters by North Korea. Out of 83 crewmen, one died and 82 men were held prisoners for 11 months.

  • Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films
    Travelling Films: Western Criticism, Labelling Practice and Self-Orientalised East Asian Films Goldsmiths College University of London PhD thesis (Cultural Studies) Ji Yeon Lee Abstract This thesis analyses western criticism, labelling practices and the politics of European international film festivals. In particular, this thesis focuses on the impact of western criticism on East Asian films as they attempt to travel to the west and when they travel back to their home countries. This thesis draws on the critical arguments by Edward Said's Orientalism: Western Conceptions of the Orient (1978) and self-Orientalism, as articulated by Rey Chow, which is developed upon Mary Louise Pratt's conceptual tools such as 'contact zone' and 'autoethnography'. This thesis deals with three East Asian directors: Kitano Takeshi (Japanese director), Zhang Yimou (Chinese director) and 1m Kwon-Taek (Korean director). Dealing with Japanese, Chinese and Korean cinema is designed to show different historical and cultural configurations in which each cinema draws western attention. This thesis also illuminates different ways each cinema is appropriated and articulated in the west. This thesis scrutinises how three directors from the region have responded to this Orientalist discourse and investigates the unequal power relationship that controls the international circulation of films. Each director's response largely depends on the particular national and historical contexts of each country and each national cinema. The processes that characterise films' travelling are interrelated: the western conception of Japanese, Chinese or Korean cinema draws upon western Orientalism, but is at the same time corroborated by directors' responses. Through self-Orientalism, these directors, as 'Orientals', participate in forming and confirming the premises of western Orientalism.

  • Fluctuating Anti-Americanism and the Korea-U.S. Alliance
    International Studies Review Vol. 5 No. 2 (October 2004): 23-40 23 Fluctuating Anti-Americanism and the Korea-U.S. Alliance • tt NAE-YOUNG LEE AND HAN WOOL JEONG Rising anti-Americanism in the winter of 2002 despite the increasing security threats from North Korea, has led some to call the situation a crisis in the ROK-U.S. alliance. However, the opinion polls from June 2003 and February 2004 show that anti-Americanism in South Korea has substantially waned The main aim of this paper is to examine whether the recent wave of anti-Americanism has the content and intensity to threaten the legitimacy of the ROK-U.S. alliance. By analyzing the changes in public attitude and perception towards the U.S. over the past two years based on three survey data, this paper argues that anti-Americanism in South Korea has not posed any real threat to the alliance. However, the polarized public opinion towards the U.S. remains a potentially serious threat to the future of the ROK-U.S. alliance.

  • The Case of Dokdo
    Resolution of Territorial Disputes in East Asia: The Case of Dokdo Laurent Mayali & John Yoo* This Article seeks to contribute to solving of the Korea-Japan territorial dispute over Dokdo island (Korea)/Takeshima (Japanese). The Republic of Korea argues that Dokdo has formed a part of Korea since as early as 512 C.E.; as Korea currently exercises control over the island, its claim to discovery would appear to fulfill the legal test for possession of territory. Conversely, the Japanese government claims that Korea never exercised sufficient sovereignty over Dokdo. Japan claims that the island remained terra nullius—in other words, territory not possessed by any nation and so could be claimed—until it annexed Dokdo in 1905. Japan also claims that in the 1951 peace treaty ending World War II, the Allies did not include Dokdo in the list of islands taken from Japan, which implies that Japan retained the island in the postwar settlement. This article makes three contributions. First, it brings forward evidence from the maps held at various archives in the United States and Western Europe to determine the historical opinions of experts and governments about the possession of Dokdo. Second, it clarifies the factors that have guided international tribunals in their resolution of earlier disputes involving islands and maritime territory. Third, it shows how the claim of terra nullius has little legitimate authority when applied to East Asia, an area where empires, kingdoms, and nation-states had long exercised control over territory. * Laurent Mayali is the Lloyd M.
