Abstract
Ronald Dore's 1977 article in Pacific Affairs, "South Korean Development in Wider Perspective," is a rare example of the scholar known for his writings on Japan applying his analytical lens on South Korea. What were some of this article's most notable areas of foresight and elision
related to development studies? This essay answers this question by interpreting connections to publications before and after 1977 to analyze areas of insight under the rubric of "discernment" and overlooked subjects under "death." On one hand, Dore's essay was ahead of the curve in its deft
foreshadowing of post-developmentalist, varieties of capitalism, and developmental state approaches to economic development. On the other, Dore sidestepped the effects of death on economic development in three forms: literal— effects of changing mortality rates on investments in education
and human capital; industries related to death—wars, munitions production and arms expenditures; and the aftereffects of the death of a scholar—the revisiting and renewal of debates that can sometimes emerge as a result.
罗纳德·多尔(Ronald Dore)1977年在《太平洋事务》(Pacific Affairs)上发表的文章《从更广阔的视角看韩国的发展》(South Korean Development in Wider Perspective)是这位学者将其分析视角应用于韩国的罕见例子。这篇文章中与发展研究相关的一些最显著的前瞻性和省略领域是什么?本文通过解释与1977年前后出版物的联系来回答这个问题,以分析“洞察力”标题下的洞察力领域和“死亡”标题下被忽视的主题。一方面,多尔的文章在后发展主义、资本主义的多样性和发展国家对经济发展的方法的巧妙预示方面走在了前面。另一方面,多尔以三种形式回避了死亡对经济发展的影响:字面上——死亡率变化对教育和人力资本投资的影响;与死亡有关的行业——战争、军火生产和武器支出;以及学者之死的后遗症——有时会因此而出现的辩论的重新审视和更新。
期刊介绍:
Pacific Affairs has, over the years, celebrated and fostered a community of scholars and people active in the life of Asia and the Pacific. It has published scholarly articles of contemporary significance on Asia and the Pacific since 1928. Its initial incarnation from 1926 to 1928 was as a newsletter for the Institute of Pacific Relations (IPR), but since May 1928, it has been published continuously as a quarterly under the same name. The IPR was a collaborative organization established in 1925 by leaders from several YMCA branches in the Asia Pacific, to “study the conditions of the Pacific people with a view to the improvement of their mutual relations.”
