Abstract: Abstract The body of the book and Part I begins with this chapter, “The State and Development in South Korea: From Yi to Early Park.” This essay provides a cursory historical outline of South Korea’s context for development through 1972. It begins with brief discussions of its Koryo (936–1392) and Chosun/Yi (1392–1910) periods, before introducing some of the pivotal events connecting the Japanese colonization period (1910–1945) and the Rhee Regime (1945–1960) with South Korea’s post-World War II economic growth. This chapter then concludes with some commentary regarding the rapid transformation of the Korean economy during the early Park Era (1961–1972). This sets the stage for the discussions in Chapters 3 and 4 reviewing the State’s role in the creation and development of a domestic automobile industry.
