Abstract
The main objective of this paper is to sequentially analyze the major themes in rural development by taking the case studies of Pakistan and Korea using the framework proposed by Ellis and Biggs. The data presented in this paper is based on an intensive review of literature and in-depth interviews with some key persons from different organizations in the Republic of Korea. It indicates that at the time of independence, both countries had weak industrial base and the economy was largely dependent on agriculture. Agricultural development remained the main focus of Pakistan’s development policies since independence; however, it was not until early 1970s when development of agriculture and rural areas became the priority of Korean government.
