States, politics, and economic strategies: South Korea and Brazil under military rule

This is a comparative historical study of the development experiences of South Korea and Brazil during periods of military authoritarian rule. The two countries were under military rule during comparable periods of time: South Korea, 1961-88 and Brazil, 1964-85. The years under study are divided into three sub-periods: before the first oil crisis, between the two oil crises, and after the second oil crisis. Military authoritarians in the two countries tried to achieve rapid economic growth in the context of political stability. They met, however, with various internal and external obstacles and challenges. This dissertation asks how South Korea and Brazil responded and reacted, politically and economically, to changing domestic and external conditions, with what consequences, and why. In order to answer these questions, this dissertation identifies political economy models that were established in the two countries in the three succeeding sub-periods by describing and explaining how state authority, political dynamics, and economic strategies were interrelated and interacted. The possibilities and limits of the models are also discussed.
