Conceptualising contemporary retail divestment
In this article, we critically analyse the September 2015 decision of the UK retailer Tesco to sell its highly profitable South Korean subsidiary Homeplus to private investors. For over a decade since market entry in 1999, Homeplus had grown steadily to achieve a market-leading position through a process of strategic localization in which Tesco's global business practices were selectively adapted to meet the specific needs of the South Korean mar…
The role of the state as an inter-scalar mediator in globalizing liquid crystal display industry development in South Korea
Deriving insights from the global production network (GPN) framework, we examine the recent development of the liquid crystal display (LCD) industry in South Korea. Using the GPN framework, we focus on the role of the national state as an active inter-scalar mediator in the dynamic strategic coupling process between global leading firms and local actors in globalizing regional development. We argue that the role of the national state as an inter-…
Negotiating the Polycentric City-region
This study seeks to distinguish patterns and processes of contemporary urbanisation in the east Asian context by investigating contemporary developments at the edge of the Seoul capital city over the past two decades. Through the analytical angle of local politics, the aim is to examine the nature, driving forces and outcomes of these new town developments in the context of South Korean urbanisation through the case of the Pangyo new town develop…
Global Urban Frontiers through Policy Transfer? Unpacking Seoul’s Creative City Programmes
This paper critically examines the Seoul city government’s attempts at the policy transfer of creative cities programmes, both as a policy borrower and as a policy lender, by using the emergent ‘policy mobilities’ approach. Seoul’s way of actualising the idea of creative cities places more emphasis on local-serving administration, tourism and physical cultural infrastructure. The original creative city programmes have been transformed, ideologica…
Balanced Development in Globalizing Regional Development? Unpacking the New Regional Policy of South Korea
Lee Y.-S. Balanced development in globalizing regional development? Unpacking the new regional policy of South Korea, Regional Studies. This paper critically examines South Korea's adoption of ‘new regionalism’ as a basis for its regional policy initiatives. It is argued that this new regional policy poses dualism between endogenism and exogenism, and as such fails to reformulate and re-articulate theoretical and policy views on the globalization…
Debt Restructuring and the Politics of Exclusion
This paper examines the politics of inclusion and exclusion in the debt restructuring of the South Korean motor vehicle industry and shows how the contested process of exclusion operates through the politics of forgetting. It focuses on the power relations among multiple actors involved in the debt restructuring of a bankrupt auto company, Daewoo Motor Company, in order to understand the politics of exclusion and forgetting as a series of complex…

The Globalization of Business Firms from Emerging Economies
Business firms from the emerging markets of Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe and Latin America are becoming increasingly important players in the global economy. Owned and controlled by indigenous nations, these emerging transnational corporations are greatly influenced by the social and institutional contexts of their home countries. As a result of the process of globalization, these corporations are engaged in a diverse range of international opera…
