The economic development of Korea is widely considered as a success story. Yet, as the country joins the ranks of the world’s most advanced economies, its rapid pace of development has not fully reached every part of its territory. The pace of urbanisation, particularly around Seoul, has placed mounting pressure on the capital’s quality of life, while in rural regions the country’s success has felt distant.

After considering the problem of decentralizing rural development in South Korea generally, the authors analyze the proliferation period from 1970 to 1979 of Seemaul Undong--South Korea's so-called New Community Movement -- which was an attempt to achieve an integrated rural development program. The final chapter suggests directions for South Korea and draws implications for development elsewhere.
