Through the study of South Korea's state-led industrialization, large business groups, and export-oriented development strategy, students will examine why government intervention sometimes constrains markets and sometimes accelerates growth. At the same time, the course analyzes the economic evolution of the DPRK, from early industrialization to long-term stagnation, in order to understand how institutional rigidity, political priorities, and limited openness shape economic outcomes. By the end of the course, students will not only gain a deeper understanding of the Korean economies, but also acquire analytical tools for thinking about economic development, institutional change, and the limits of economic growth in a comparative perspective.

Písemná zkouška
1. Active participation during the course (minimum 60%); Attendance alone does not count as active participation. Passive presence without engagement will not be counted toward the participation requirement. 2. Final in-class written assignment (Pass) Important note. This course demonstrates that consistent engagement throughout the semester is as important as performance in the final session. The grading system is designed to reward ongoing participation, analytical thinking, and the ability to work with ideas discussed in class, rather than memorisation or exams.
