Born from the ashes of colonialism, partition and a devastating war, back in the 1950s there were real doubts about its survival as an independent state. Yet South Korea did survive, and first became known globally for the export of cheap toys, shoes and clothing. Today, South Korea is a boisterous democracy, a vibrant market economy, a tech powerhouse, and home to the coolest of cultures. In just seventy years, this society has grown from a shrimp into a whale. What explains this extraordinary transformation? For some, it was ordinary South Koreans who fought to change their country, and still strive to continue shaping it. For others, it was all down to forward-looking political and business leaders, who had the vision that their country would one day be different. Whichever version you prefer, it's clear that, at its core, South Korea's is the story of a people who dreamt big, and saw their dreams coming true. This is the history of South Korea, from its millennia-old roots, through its foundation as a nation-state and economic development under dictatorship, to its present as a rich, free and cool country on the world stage." -- Publisher's description 651 0 $a Korea (South) $x History. 651 0 $a Korea (South) $x Politics and government $y 1948-1960. 651 0 $a Korea (South) $x Politics and government $y 1960-1988. 651 0 $a Korea (South) $x Politics and government $y 1988-2002. 651 0 $a Korea (South) $x Politics and government $y 2002- 651 0 $a Korea (South) $x Economic conditions $y 1948-1960. 651 0 $a Korea (South) $x Economic conditions $y 1960-1988. 651 0 $a Korea (South) $x Economic conditions $y 1988-2002. 651 0 $a Korea (South) $x Social conditions. 650 7 $a Economic history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00901974 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 7 $a Korea (South) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206791 648 7 $a Since 1948 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Pacheco Pardo, Ramon. $t Shrimp to whale. $d New York, NY : Oxford University Press, [2022] $z 9780197674543 $w (OCoLC)1334527408 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20231021031831.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=C4DA75686FD711EE93D6B80232ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
