  • Chapter
The South Korean Development Experience

Part of the book series: Critical Studies of the Asia Pacific Series ((CSAP))

Abstract

In 2010, South Korea (hereafter Korea) joined the Development Assistance Committee of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD/DAC) as the 24th member. This represented a milestone that symbolized Korea’s entry into the ranks of advanced industrialized countries as an important donor of development assistance. Korea has since hosted two important global meetings regarding international development, the G20 Summit Meeting in 2010 and the Fourth High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness (HLF-4) in 2011.
