1960-70년대 파독 인력송출의 미시사: 동원인가, 선택인가?

Abstract

The history of economic development in Korea is a model for the countries of the Third World. But she is not a legend, whose main role some heroes, so political leader and big enterprises  played, but a story of the victims and strains of the people. On the contrary, there is also the claim that the development of Korea is a national mobilization in the context of the Cold War. Nevertheless, almost all perspectives of the topic, from the emphasis on the political leadership to development dictatorship thesis, are history from above. The subject of economic development is the people, politics and business playing olny a supporting role. This is the reason why the story of economic growth needs to be viewed from below. What is the history of economic development from below? Isn’t it an another legend in which occur this time little heroes to replace the existing great heroes? The mass would be neither willing to modernize the fatherland, it was nor forcibly mobilized by the state. During the development period, she was interested in getting committed to maintaining themselves and their families economically. That was their main interests, to which all everything was subordinate. This work is based on this hypothesis and concludes that Korean Guestworkers in Germany in the 1960s and 1970s, ie during the development dictatorship, almost always put their own interests in the priority, not the state. This paper attempts to validate this claim with many facts.
