Summary
This book analyses the Korean film industry emergence and development in a global business and economic perspective. This is one of the first books to compare the film policies and industries of the worlds six largest film industries featuring Korea as the central character with the aim of defining the contours of what constitutes an effective film policy. It presents many cases showing that, contrary to what is often believed, an economically sound policy is a good instrument for achieving desired cultural goals. It uses a set of analytical tools borrowed from the economic analysis of international trade policies to provide a rich harvest of new, rigorous, and often unexpected results on the effectiveness of the existing film policies. The implications found in this book are relevant not only for Korea, but for all other countries that wish to foster or enhance the competitiveness of their film industries. This book will be of interest to a wide spectrum of scholars interested in cultural studies media and cultural specialists, political scientists, sociologists, historians in addition to business analysts and economists specialized in cultural economics. As this book focuses on film policies and how to improve them, it will also appeal to policymakers, business figures, public relations officials, and staff from international organizations working on the film industry. Jimmyn Parc is Visiting Researcher at the Institute of Communication Research, Seoul National University, Korea and a visiting lecturer at the Institut dEtudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po), France. He is also a research associate at the European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE), Brussels, Belgium. His recent research focuses on the film and music industries which are faced with a changing business and trade environment as well as new challenges from digitization. Patrick Messerlin is Professor Emeritus of economics at the Institut dEtudes Politiques de Paris (Sciences Po), France, and Chairman of the Steering Committee of the European Centre for International Political Economy (ECIPE) in Brussels, Belgium. His current research deals with economic and trade relations between Europe and East Asia, with a particular focus on cultural industries.
