Book Synopsis Foreign Aid and Development in South Korea and Africa by : Kelechi A. Kalu
Download or read book Foreign Aid and Development in South Korea and Africa written by Kelechi A. Kalu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-15 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book compares the rapid development of South Korea over the past 70 years with selected countries in sub-Saharan Africa to assess what factors contributed to the country’s success story, and why it is that countries that were comparable in the past continue to experience challenges in achieving and sustaining economic growth. In the 1950s, South Korea’s GDP per capita was $876, roughly comparable with that of Cote d’Ivoire and somewhat below Ghana’s. The country’s subsequent transformation from a war-ravaged, international aid-dependent economy to the 13th largest economy in the world has been the focus of considerable international admiration and attention. But how was it that South Korea succeeded in multiplying its GDP per capita by a factor of 23, while other Less Developed Countries continue to experience challenges? This book compares South Korea’s politics of development and foreign assistance with that of Ghana, Nigeria, and Zambia, which were also major recipients of the U.S. aid, to investigate the specific contexts that made it possible for South Korea to achieve success. Overall, this book argues that effective state capacity in South Korea’s domestic and international politics provided an anchor for diplomatic engagement with donors and guided domestic political actors in the effective use of aid for economic development. This book will be of interest to researchers and students working on development, comparative political economy, and foreign aid, and to policy makers and practitioners looking for a greater understanding of comparative development trajectories.

Book Synopsis Re-Inventing Africa's Development by : Jong-Dae Park
Download or read book Re-Inventing Africa's Development written by Jong-Dae Park and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-31 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book analyses the development problems of sub-Sahara Africa (SSA) from the eyes of a Korean diplomat with knowledge of the economic growth Korea has experienced in recent decades. The author argues that Africa's development challenges are not due to a lack of resources but a lack of management, presenting an alternative to the traditional view that Africa's problems are caused by a lack of leadership. In exploring an approach based on mind-set and nation-building, rather than unity – which tends to promote individual or party interests rather than the broader country or national interests – the author suggests new solutions for SSA's economic growth, inspired by Korea's successful economic growth model much of which is focused on industrialisation. This book will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, NGOs and governmental bodies in economics, development and politics studying Africa's economic development, and Korea's economic growth model.

Book Synopsis Issues on Development Aid by : Deok Ryong Yoon
Download or read book Issues on Development Aid written by Deok Ryong Yoon and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents the effort to help formulate a Korean model of development cooperation. The chapters herein provide potentially important lessons that Korea should take into account. Korea is playing an increasingly important role in global development policy. Because the EU has been involved in this field for decades, it might be helpful for Korea to analyze EU's experience and draw some of the lessons from the EU's evolution and challenges as a development actor. Furthermore, Korea and the EU are likely to increasingly work as partners in the field of development, notably as part of the Busan Partnership. Therefore, better understanding how the EU works in the field of development should be interesting for Korea, and should ultimately help improve the quality of partnership. From the role of European Parliament regarding ODA, Korea can draw lessons as follows. First, as in the case of the EU whereas the Korean government and its development agencies play a key role of planning and execution, the Parliament of Korea should play a role of an anchor. Second, the scattered governance structure in the government needs to be integrated. Third, it is desirable that Korea's laws allow flexibility in terms of legislation, for example, in certain specific areas concerning the portion of tied and untied ODAs. The Federal Republic of Germany has a strong tradition of giving ODA and much experience and knowledge to share with Korea. During this important start-up phase of Korea's ODA practice, it makes sense for the Korean government to look to and learn from other countries for best practice examples. Certainly, some aspects of the German situation are comparable to that of Korea, including its history of going from aid recipient to donor, its regional economic and trading strength, a complex and strong manufacturing industry, few legacies from colonialism and a stable and strong democracy supported by sound financial structures. In addition to those similarities, many of the challenges facing Germany are also problems Korea must deal with, as most of today's issues are of a global scale. Along these lines, Germany could be a role model with respect to Korean ODA in the following areas: political structures and organization, financing, development policies and strategies, and finally, measures to improve efficiency and effectiveness of ODA both within the country and on site. It seems also that South Korean politics of development assistance should initially consider the French experience, particularly in Africa. Much knowledge has been produced on this continent, specifically on major demographic and economic challenges facing most African countries south of the Sahara. On the other hand, it would be useful if aid policies proposed by Korea are known and implemented in discussion with the French and European authorities by registering in consultation frameworks in African countries, as well as within DAC/OECD, in order to avoid the risk of opacity that currently exists with other emerging donors such as China. As Africa denounces the impact of Chinese competition on employment, Korea should be wary of opening its market to Africa. While African governments appreciate the amount of Chinese aid, they criticize the fact that it is tied to Chinese exports, and African NGO denounces its opacity and its lack of concern on environment. As a country that advocates green growth, Korea should maintain its good image in the future as well. Korea should aim at providing budget support and untying its aid to Africa. The analysis of the World Bank's aid policy in Vietnam raises important issues related to Korean development aid. The question of what Vietnam needs the most, money or knowledge, has to be asked by Korea as well as by the World Bank and other donors. Indeed, successful Korean development policies conducted over the past decades could undoubtedly keep on inspiring Vietnam as they have in the recent past. Another major issue is Korea's coordination with the World Bank and with other donors, now that it has joined the Development Aid Committee, especially concerning the breakdown between budget aid and projects. North Korea as a case study shows how Korea can collaborate with “traditional” donors and how they accept or reject the principles promoted by multilateral organizations. It compares the approaches of different Western and “new” donors, and shows how aid is implemented in the field taking into account the obstacles to optimal effectiveness.

Book excerpt: South Korea’s Official Development Assistance White Paper Official Development Assistance (ODA) refers to aid provided by the official sector such as the government’s aid to developing countries for the purpose of promoting economic development and welfare. ODA includes technical assistance and funds provided to the governments and territories of developing countries or to international organizations. ODA was initiated after World War II, when many advanced industrialized countries began providing assistance for their former colonies to alleviate poverty, putting into practice the global community’s collective spirit of cooperation. ODA began with declaration of the United Nations to ‘enhance international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character’ in the UN Charter in 1945 and establishment of emergency relief organizations including the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF).

Download or read book South Korea's Rise written by Uk Heo and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-03 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: South Korea's phenomenal rise has been studied extensively by political scientists and economists both in terms of its impact on democratisation and as a role model for economic development. Yet little attention has been devoted to exploring the nexus between economic development and foreign policy. In South Korea's Rise, Uk Heo and Terence Roehrig propose a new theoretical framework to illustrate how an increase in a country's economic prosperity can bring about change to its foreign policy, prompting greater involvement in the international system, the transition to democracy, an expanded set of interests and increased tools to pursue its foreign policy goals. As a rising middle power, analysis of South Korea's foreign policy is crucial to our understanding of the power structure and future relations in East Asia. This is essential reading for all students and scholars with an interest in Asia, foreign policy and global economics.

Book Synopsis A Half Penny on the Federal Dollar by : Michael E. O'Hanlon
Download or read book A Half Penny on the Federal Dollar written by Michael E. O'Hanlon and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spending on U.S. foreign affairs, which constitutes only about one percent of the federal budget, is being sharply reduced. Under the President's 1996 budget plan, it will decline by just as great a percentage as defense between 1990 and 2002—and by substantially more than defense over the 1980-2002 period. No other major category of federal spending will undergo a real cut over either time period. The shrinking budget, totaling about $19 billion in 1997, will still have to fund the State Department, international broadcasting and educational exchanges, trade subsidies and investment guarantees for U.S. business overseas; United Nations operations including peacekeeping, and all types of foreign assistance. In this book, O'Hanlon and Graham focus primarily on this last component of international spending. Specifically, they analyze U.S. official development assistance (ODA) to poor countries. The authors place U.S. ODA in a broad historical, international, and economic perspective. They then recommend an alternative approach to ODA for the United States as well as other donors. They favor continuing to provide humanitarian and grass-roots aid to most poor countries, but providing ODA to promote macroeconomic growth only to those countries that maintain coherent, market-oriented economic policy frameworks. The authors argue that to provide effective aid, as well as to maintain U.S. leadership in world affairs, net resources for ODA and the international account need to increase only modestly.

Book Synopsis South Korea’s Foreign Aid by : Hyo-sook Kim
Download or read book South Korea’s Foreign Aid written by Hyo-sook Kim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kim examines the impact of domestic politics in accomplishing South Korea’s middle power diplomacy through the provision of foreign aid. Since the 2000s, the rise of emerging nations as donors has brought about a remarkable transition in the international development community. South Korea has closed the gap with other Development Assistance Committee donors in terms of the quality of its aid. In doing so it has taken on a more active role as a middle power, acting as an agenda-setter and a mediator in the field of development and many other wide policy areas including trade, finance, environment, security, and peacekeeping. What factors, then, have encouraged South Korea to maintain and enhance the existing international development system? Not only how they behave, but also how their behaviour is determined is essential to truly understand the impact of emerging donors on the existing order. Kim highlights the significance of domestic politics in determining South Korea’s foreign aid behaviour, framing it in terms of South Korea’s wider middle power diplomatic strategy. This book will be of great value to scholars of South Korean politics and foreign policy, as well as to international relations scholars with an interest in the foreign aid policy of middle powers.
