Economic Development and International Development Cooperation of the Korea Peninsula: Past, Present and the Future

University of Central Lancashire, UK,

27-28 March 2023

South Korea’s rapid economic success is a widely shared story. The role of South Korea as a donor member of the international development cooperation community has been extensively discussed, owing especially to the 10th anniversary celebration of its accession to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) Development Assistance Committee (DAC) in 2020. However, with the recent COVID-19 pandemic, there is an increasing need to expand the narratives around South Korea’s experience of development from a fragile recipient country to a donor country, within and beyond the Korean peninsula, in a more contemporary context.

With this in mind, the 2023 IKSU Annual International Conference aims to explore how South Korea’s economic development and its international development cooperation have evolved, including in relation to North Korea. After the conference, an edited volume will be published. Additionally, a special issue journal may follow contingent on a sufficient number of publishable papers being received. Papers from various disciplines are invited. Not only established academics at different stages, but also early career researchers and PhD candidates in relevant fields are encouraged to submit.
