\u201cKorea\u2019s New Role as Global Development Partner\u201d<\/p>\n

Korea is increasingly being benchmarked by developing nations around the world for everything from e-government to nuclear safety. Moreover, as the only nation to move from being a recipient of OECD aid to the status of donor nation, Korea offers an enviable model for those trying to imagine a better future. At the same time, some profound changes will be necessary at multiple levels for Korea to realize its full potential and lead the way to a better future. If there was an American dream for the developing world in the 1960s, what would be the \u201cKorean Dream\u201d for the current age? This discussion consider Korea\u2019s new role as a development partner within the context of current trends towards global integration.<\/p>\n
