Gi-Wook Shin: How South Korea Deals with Brain Drain

<p>Many have argued about the determining factor behind Korea&#39;s rapid development and miracle transformation. Some suggested due to their economic policy; some emphasized the country&#39;s democratization process. Enriching our understanding of Korea&#39;s unparalleled evolution, this conversation tries to cover from a different perspective—featuring a political and historical-comparative sociologist who has been teaching at Stanford University for more than 20 years Gi-Wook Shin. Prof. Shin highlights the undeniable influence of soft power and Koreans&#39; competitive nature. Furthermore, he explores the potential threat that might turn the country&#39;s successful modern history upside-down: demographic and democratic crises. In addition, he also talks about his modified theory of brain drain and how this phenomenon has been playing a role in shaping two of Asia&#39;s hegemonies, China and India, as well as how we can learn from them. #Endgame #GitaWirjawan #GiWookShin</p> <p><br></p> <p>----------------- About the guest: Gi-Wook Shin is the Director of APARC, Senior Fellow of the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies, and Founding Director of the Korea Program at Stanford University.
