Summary/Abstract |
South Korea's economic takeoff in the 1960s triggered a scholarly debate over the causes behind its economic growth. Neoclassical economists and "statist" scholars focused on government policies toward the industrial sector, but as this article shows, they have neglected to consider the political economy behind the government's targeting of the agricultural and livestock sectors for export promotion. In fact, the South Korean government's support of export-led growth-aimed at the rural sector as well as industry-transformed the nation's agricultural and livestock institutions from instruments of development and export promotion into protectionist mechanisms. This article discusses how complete market liberalization would have resulted in more efficient resource allocation and reveals how political considerations affected the institutional arrangement in the South Korean countryside and the subsequent liberalization of agricultural and beef markets.

Summary/Abstract |
Exporters, in developing countries, often struggle to access accurate market information which will help them make informed decisions about which export markets and products to focus on. Despite the existence of several market selection techniques, a lack of market information has been identified as a major impediment to export activity in the Indian Ocean Rim region. This paper introduces the TRADE-DSM®, a scientific market selection methodology that screens large quantities of data to reveal the most promising realistic export opportunities for a company, industry, country or region. The hypothesis of this paper is two-fold: (i) whether the TRADE-DSM® could help fill the information gap that exporters and export promotion organizations in the Indian Ocean Rim Association (IORA) experience, and (ii) whether the TRADE-DSM® could provide the building blocks for the development of a region-wide export promotion strategy for IORA.

Summary/Abstract |
RUSSIA occupies the Eurasian position on the world map, which is why economic cooperation in this area is so important. But our Western neighbors traditionally play a more significant role in our country's economy. This means that Europe is one of the most important areas in our economic diplomacy.
