Korea the Impossible Country by Daniel Tudor

Korea the Impossible Country by Daniel Tudor

South Korea has long been overshadowed by Japan and China, but this small country is one of the great national success stories of the postwar period. From a failed tradition, ruined and partitioned by war, and sapped by half-century of colonial rule, South Korea transformed itself in just fifty years into an economic powerhouse and a democracy that serves a model for other countries. How is it able to achieve this, with no natural resources and a tradition of authoritarian rule? Who are the Koreans – and did they accomplish this second Asian miracle? Having accomplished it, what will they do now? Here's the latest review of Korea: The Impossible Country in Oxford University magazine

Daniel Tudor has lived in Seoul for several years and worked as The Economist's Korea Correspondent from 2010 to 2013. The Economist named his book North Korea Confidential (co-authored with James Pearson) as one of the finest books of 2015. He has worked in finance in both Korea and Switzerland and holds degrees from Oxford University and Manchester University in England.
