The book focuses specifically on how South Korea, the world's leader in the number and significance of FTAs as well as the world's sixth largest export economy, uses FTAs. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Jonathan Krieckhaus argues that geopolitics--the struggle between powerful nations over specific geographic regions around the globe--influenced FTA strategy and economic policy in South Korea and beyond. This perspective illustrates the security approach to FTAs, but adds that the geographic specificity of security concerns deeply shape FTA policy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eGeopolitical Economy \u003c\/i\u003ealso looks at Korean FTAs through the lens of development strategy. South Korea is singularly successful in garnering FTAs with all three players in the global economy: the United States, the European Union, and China. This unprecedented success was built on a strong commitment from three consecutive Korean presidential administrations, each operating within a favorable state-society context that enjoyed the existence of a centralized and effective trade bureaucracy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Krieckhaus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0472130838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780472130832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Michigan Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jonathan Krieckhaus","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064992837887,"sku":"9780472130832","price":69.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6093be6-a2bc-4d8b-91c6-3540e47955af.jpg?v=1768672420","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/geopolitical-economy-jonathan-krieckhaus-9780472130832","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
