Despite a brief recession in the early 1980s, the Koreans maintained nearly double-digit growth for most of the period from 1963 to 1990. Growth slowed by half in the 1990s, and Korea was hit by a more severe recession following the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997-1998, but remade itself as a major technology power in the following decade. Added to this widely heralded economic miracle was a kind of political miracle in 1987-1988, the establishment of a genuinely constitutional democracy with a peaceful transition of power. This paper considers the recent political and economic development of South Korea, with reference to scholarly work. It analyzes a selection of key political economy literature that attempts to explain Koreas experience. The article examines scholarship from the 1980s, when Korea emerged as a developmental model.}, pages = {153--170}, title = {The Complexity of Success : A Review of Korean Political Economy Literature}, volume = {92}, year = {2010} }
