[KS] Sherman Family Lecture: The Return of Industrial Policy: Lessons from Korea Announcement

[Linda Tobash]

*Dr. Munseob Lee*, Assistant Professor of Economics in the School of Global
Policy and Strategy (GPS) at the University of California San Diego and the
winner of The Korea Society's *7th Annual Sherman Family Korea Emerging
Scholar Lecture Award* will  address *The Return of Industrial Policy:
Lessons from Korea on* Wednesday, November 1st at 6 p.m. The lecture will
be held in-person at the Society and streamed virtually.

Dr. Lee makes the case that industrial policy is making a comeback. Signs
of government intervention in support of industry are visible not only in
China, but in the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Drawing lessons learned from
Korea’s experience, Lee provides important insights for today’s
policy-makers. A notable case to be discussed is the Korean government's
implementation of the heavy and chemical industry drive in 1973. While that
policy yielded positive outcomes for the targeted industries, it also
resulted in a higher concentration within those sectors.

The intent of the annual Sherman Family Lecture Award is to grow U.S.
thought leadership related to Korea for a new generation. The award is made
possible through the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Philip Sherman and family. For
