Korea's Economic Prospects From Financial Crisis to Prosperity

The 15 essays were presented as papers at a conference called "Australia and Korea into the New Millennium" held at Griffith U. in Brisbane in August 1999. Kwon and Shepherd (both teach at Griffith U.) have selected papers which investigate the causes of the financial crisis of 1997 and the remedial measures and reforms which followed. Individual papers consider macroeconomic policy, fiscal policy, corporate reforms, Korea's role in the regional and global economy, labor relations, and the effects of the crisis on industry and the international business environment. The contributors are academics and independent researchers in Korea and Australia. c. Book News Inc.
