Regulatory reform is considered as a key driving force that enabled Korea to overcome social and economic impacts of the 1997 financial crisis and a source of quick resilience from 2008 global financial crisis. Korea held on to the momentum for the regulatory reform turning it into a solid base for a rapid economic growth and national competitiveness in global economy.
Based on the conclusion that analyzing factors in a model will provide more tools and insight for understanding Korea’s regulatory reform experience than would a simple narration of experience, this paper presents a regulatory model which is applied to explain Korean experience. The model has three factors such as environment, institutionalization and decision mechanism, each of which has detailed determinants. Sub categories of success factors consist of social recognition, stable institution, and participation of policy makers and stakeholders.
The excessive regulations in Korea could be explained by the country’s political and cultural background and past government-led growth strategies.(The rest omitted)

The study of Korea’s economic and social transformation offers a unique opportunity to better understand the factors that drive development. Within one generation, Korea had transformed itself from a poor agrarian society to a modern industrial nation, a feat never seen before. What makes Korea’s experience so unique is that its rapid economic development was relatively broad-based, meaning that the fruits of Korea’s rapid growth were shared by many.
