On Korea: Academic Paper Series 2010About 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.
Green-Collar Politics: Perils and Opportunities for South Korea in the Green-Tech Race
This paper examines policies in the renewables sector across various countries and where political tensions could generate suboptimal outcomes for the sector’s development. In its analysis of supply- and demand-side strategies of the clean-energy sector, this paper will also highlight some of the perils facing Seoul—and the lessons Korea can glean from other countries’ efforts to prevent “renewables fatigue”—as it places greater emphasis on supporting clean-energy industries.
