South Korea’s economic miracle is largely due to a knowledge-based development strategy that holds valuable lessons for African countries in their current pursuit towards knowledge economies.

Given the setting of evaluating countries, this paper discerns a ‘strong country in weak environment’ and ‘weak country in strong ...
