On Korea: Academic Paper Series 2012About On Korea: Academic Paper Series
In December 2006, KEI initiated our Academic Paper Series in which we commission up to 10 papers per year with diverse perspectives on original subjects of current interest to Korea watchers. This year-long program provides both leading Korea scholars and new voices from around the world to speak and write on trends and events affecting the Korean peninsula.
Despite a considerable level of uncertainty caused by the global economic slowdown since late 2008, South Korea has outperformed many other advanced economies in terms of installing a path of solid economic recovery. Nevertheless, South Korea has confronted its own economic and political challenges as the country attempts to weather uncertain times ahead and to chart a new chapter of advancement.
