Abstrak :
The Korean peninsula during the Cold War provided a cruel but historically unparalleled real-world "experiment" in the relationship between polity and material advance: an ethnically and culturally homogenous nation was, in 1945, suddenly divided by an arbitrary boundary line and then subjected to two radically different and adversarial political economies for successive decades on end. Assessing the competition between the North and South Korean economies from partition to the end of the Soviet era, Nicholas Eberstadt argues that the storyline is not quite as simple as the now-prevailing narrative suggests (that centrally-planned economies are doomed to fail against market-oriented alternatives). Rather, he suggests, the race for material progress was just that: a race, the results of which were far from preordained at the outset. In Policy and Economic Performance in Divided Korea during the Cold War Era: 1945-91, Eberstadt presents an impressive compilation of hard-to-find comparative data on economic performance for the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK, or North Korea) and the Republic of Korea (ROK, or South Korea) over two critical generations. By a number of indicators, Eberstadt argues, Kim Il Sung’s North Korea actually outperformed South Korea for much of this period -- not only in the years immediately following partition, but perhaps also into the 1970s. To explain these surprising results, Eberstadt details the impact of government policies on the course of growth of both economies and offers some unorthodox observations about material performance under these two contending polities. He finds that prevailing economic development theory on such issues as planned-versus-market economies, military burden, and the relationship between material advance and poverty, may require reexamination in light of the experience of the two Koreas between partition and the end of the Cold War." --Back cover.

Penelitian ini menginvestigasi kepentingan bantuan hibah bagi reformasi birokrasi di Indonesia yang diberikan Pemerintah Korea Selatan dan pengaruh bantuan tersebut bagi iklim investasi di Indonesia. Untuk menganalisis hal tersebut, Peneliti menggunakan pemikiran A. Maurits Van Der Veen yang mengatakan bantuan digunakan sebagai alat pencapaian kepentingan nasional dan menggunakan teknik analisis metode kualitatif dengan sifat analisis deskriptif. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan adanya kepentingan ekonomi dan politik yang diusung Pemerintah Korea Selatan di balik bantuan yang diberikan dan bantuan tersebut memberi kontribusi bagi perkembangan investasi Korea Selatan di Indonesia. Namun demikian, peningkatan investasi tersebut bukan hanya didorong oleh pembenahan birokrasi di Indonesia tetapi juga disebabkan faktor lain seperti adanya peningkatan pungutan pajak yang dibebankan Pemerintah Korea Selatan kepada para pengusaha sehingga memicu pengalihan modal ke negara lain.

This study investigates the interests of grant aid for bureaucratic reform in Indonesia given the South Korean government and the effect of such aid for the investment climate in Indonesia. To analyze this, the researcher used the thought of A. Maurits Van Der Veen who say aid is used as a means of achieving national interests and use qualitative methods of analysis techniques with nature descriptive analysis. This study concludes that there is economic and political interests that brought the South Korean government behind the assistance provided and the assistance contributed to the development of South Korean investment in Indonesia. However, the increase in investment is not only driven by bureaucratic reform in Indonesia but also due to other factors such as an increase in the tax levy charged the South Korean government to employers that triggers the transfer of capital to other countries.
