Lessons for South Asia from the Industrial Cluster Development Experience of the Republic of Korea

Kim, Jong-il | August 2015

Abstract

Industrial development, particularly the growth of manufacturing activity, is important for economic growth and poverty reduction in South Asia. This report presents the evolution of industrial policy along with the promotion of industrial cluster development in the Republic of Korea and draws lessons learned for South Asia. These lessons would be useful to implementation of development strategies, such as the economic corridor program in India which tries to maximize the integration between economic hubs where large amount of resources are concentrated.
