“…The two leaders of the Park administration, President Park Chung Hee and Prime Minister Kim Chong Pil (former Lieutenant Colonel who assisted Park in the 1961 military coup), had no ties to the elites (Koo 1987).

The Illicit Wealth Accumulation Charges were a prime example of how the Park administration tamed private businesses into a working relationship with the government.…”

Poverty, lack of democracy, as well as war and conflict were challenges the country faced in the early 1960s; issues not very different from what many developing countries face in the 21 st century. This paper focuses on the following topics during the most dynamic period in South Korea's economic development from 1960s to 1980s: the developmental state and industrial policies; the role of the private businesses; and state-business relationship.

However, conservatives relate the state with society in a zero-sum game, while the institutions of civil society earn what the state loses.…”
