Gi-Wook Shin: How South Korea Deals with Brain Drain

Endgame with Gita Wirjawan

Many have argued about the determining factor behind Korea's rapid development and miracle transformation. Some suggested due to their economic policy; some emphasized the country's democratization process. Enriching our understanding of Korea's unparalleled evolution, this conversation tries to cover from a different perspective—featuring a political and historical-comparative sociologist who has been teaching at Stanford University for more than 20 years Gi-Wook Shin. Prof. Shin highlights the undeniable influence of soft power and Koreans' competitive nature. Furthermore, he explores the potential threat that might turn the country's successful modern history upside-down: demographic and democratic crises. In addition, he also talks about his modified theory of brain drain and how this phenomenon has been playing a role in shaping two of Asia's hegemonies, China and India, as well as how we can learn from them. #Endgame #GitaWirjawan #GiWookShin
