한국형 경제성장과 발전수준 = Economic Growth and Development in Korea

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The identification of the major determining factors which impact on welfare policy and physical quality of life has long been the subject of much debate and controversy for both economists and political scientists in developing as well as developed countries. As a rebutal to economists relying solely on one-sided economic deterministic assumptions, this study examined an alternative way about the question "How have welfare policy and physical quality of life been affected by the economic and socio-political factors in the rapidly developing country of Korea for the past thirty and above years?"
This study began with the critical review of relevant literature from two sets of competing theoretical perspectives on the debate of economics and politics-i.e., modernization perspective focusing on industrialism theory versus dependency perspective focusing on political democratic (instability) theory, social class conflict theory, and elite theory-which provide an integrated causal model for the Korean historical context.
Based on the evaluation of dual impact causal relationships of export-oriented strategy, the major fingings indicated that industrial economic growth factors were more important than socio-political factors for physical well-being in Korea. At the same time, however, political attribute factors did indeed have negative impacts on the provision of basic human needs when controlling for the aggregate industrial economic growth determinants. That is, we found strong support for theories derived from dependency paradigm in that export dependency as an ideological orientation of ruling political elites appeared to have detrimental effects on socio-political democratization which in turn negatively affected the physical well-being. In addition, the ideology itself imposed a funnel-like narrowing of the state alternative action choices in the welfare policy domain.
