The global economy and production are fastly changing due to a series of challenges – such as climate change and energy crisis, technological advances, financial and economic crises, and the recent pandemic. As countries are struggling to respond domestically to these external shocks, it comes as an urgent issue for Korea, which has achieved rapid growth through manufacturing and the social structure that supports it. The lecture series focuses particularly on the ongoing change in the Korean industrial and social structure and the country’s response to the challenges.
