| dc.description | The main focus of Part I is on the analysis of the ‘underdevelopment of agriculture’ in Korea. I take the position that the development process in Korea created a hierarchical configuration among different sectors of the economy in which agriculture is subordinated. The position of a national political economy within the world economic system has a very significant influence over the sectoral configuration in the domestic economy. The political economy of South Korea, especially its sectoral configuration, has been established in direct correspondence to changes in the global economy, within which subsistence agricultural production became subservient to export-oriented manufacturing industry. Social relations, including gender relations, are conditioned by this economic configuration. The overarching unit of analysis here is the world economic system, which shapes the character and structure of the regional political economy – for example, the Northeast Asian regional political economy. The national social formation is conditioned by the context of the regional political economy and the world economic system. In other words, the ways in which the individual state is inserted into the world economic system has significant influence on the range of development policy choice and therefore upon social relations at the national level. Thus, in this book, the economic development of Korea is not regarded as being structurally independent of the world economic system, but rather as being a ‘dependent’ part of the development process of the global political economy. This includes the distinctive regional political economy geared to export to world markets, and formed under the auspices of American and Japanese capitalist leadership. | - |
