Academic community has reached an agreement on the success secrets of South Korea economy, that is South Korea has insisted carried out outward-looking economy. However, their interpretation of outward-looking economy still is not so perfect, and there's still more researches to do, mainly focuses on the following four aspects:Firstly, if South Korea wasn't the only country which picked outward-looking strategy, nor was the only success country, then what's the feathers of South Korea's outward-looking economy? Secondly, what're the factors that decide the outward-looking mode? How to explain the rationality from the economic, politics, social, historic and the international environment? Thirdly, what's the trend of South Korea's outward-looking economy? Was it transition or promotion?The economists have gave many interpretations to the success of South Korea's economy, and has made a lot of achievements. But, their research methods lack of multidimensionality and comprehensive, not really represent the actual process of South Korea's economy. Because the wonders of South Korea's economy has "not any a growth factor or some kind of extraordinary of the cultural characteristics of the results, but many favorable international and domestic factors and supportive government policies comprehensive work results". This is the same case in the research of South Korea's outward-looking economy.The establishment and development of South Korea outward-looking economy has been the results of the economic, political and social, external factors influenced together. Economic factors as national economic development strategy determine the core factors, its importance is self-evident. The historic economy foundation, resource endowment, geopolitical political, economic characteristics of the South Korea decided must go on a line with their own national characteristics and conform to the trend of the times of the outward-looking economic development road. But the former explanations to the south Korean economy, emphasize the so-called "legitimate" economics and development economics also lack the use of specific aim, and are rarely interested in economics to catch up, the more it to efforts to explore forerunner, case clone of people catch up with economic thought treasure. This occasion must be changed.At the same time, we must not ignore the political factors in South Korea economic development process. People who respect the history will not deny such a fact that South Korea economic take-off highlight for a typical of the political process, and in many cases what it follow is "the first political changes, the economic change" timing. The take-off and industrialization process of South Korea economy is in the power of the political system that to realize, is by the "development guidance," the "strong government" means a great launch and implementation. Political power system, the government is conditional get rid of various domestic and international interest group interference, through effective system innovation and system supplies rapidly promote economic growth. Except great achievement that the South Korea has made in the post-war, it also completed the political democratization historical task. The economic and political democratization as national modernization of the two most main measures, in the post-war developing countries can finish at the same time the two task country is less. The growth of South Korea's economy was caught up with the political democratization process, both influence each other. At the height of the authoritarian regime,economic development by early political democracy, dragged down completely let is located in the economic development. But the democratization process and not because of persecution and stop, in difficult conditions various democratic force has to contend with authoritarian forces, promoting the democratization process of continuing to move forward, and with the economic development of the democratic forces the constant development and expansion, finally complete the political democratization historical task. South Korea's experience shows that the late-development countries catch up "authoritarian" in the early age is necessary, but is not eternal. No political democratization, there can be no real market economy, also cannot realize the real catch up. Try to find out the interactive relationship between the political development and South Korea economic development is one of the important contents of this study.The economic strategic choice of late-development countries is decided not only by the internal factors, but also depends on the global economy, the environment of political development. Influenced by the international political structure, the Korean peninsula has split in two, north and south confrontation, which is the only remaining cold war pattern of the region in today's world. Any researches about South Korea cannot leave this background. Because the north and south is the political standoff itself, is the international relations and penetration in peninsula at the economic, political, and social development in every aspect. South Korea in the special geographical environment on S China and South Korea late-development countries belong to, the experience to our country the reference value is beyond doubt; South Korean outgoing track, we will find that how it is cruising between great power, bypassing a reef, through the rapids and stream to catch up and the other shore.The theme of this study and research perspective have important academic values for the further understanding of the nature of the outgoing south Korean economy and real content, and also is important to catch up with rich economic theory. China and South Korea belong to late-development countries, so the value of South Korea's economy development experience to our country is beyond doubt; what's more, the South Korea is China's close neighbor, so keeping a close eye on their current and future strategy, road orientation, especially the research of South Korea outgoing economic trend or upgrade, for our country's northeast Asia and Asia strategy has very vital significance.This paper takes the political economic for basic perspectives, try to explore the development of South Korea's economy, and analysis the process, feathers, choice factors and success reasons from economic, political and social, international aspects, and try to exhibit the real development process of South Korea's outward-looking economy. This paper first through the comprehensive review of the economic development of the south Korean outgoing process, master its context, and then analyses the characteristics and the south Korean export-oriented economy connotation; And from the economics principle, political and social environment, the international environment and so on three aspects analysis South Korea export-oriented economy. In South Korea export-oriented economic model of the formation and development process, the economic, political and social, international factors which influence the performance of such a logical relationship:South Korea's economy of its own characteristics and followed by the economics principle, contributed to South Korea chose export-oriented economic development mode, and determine the export-oriented economy modes of South Korea; South Korea domestic political and social factors, ensure the effective promoting export-oriented economy; The external factors provides a good external environment and opportunity, thrusting the South Korea the development of export-oriented economy. The basic idea and research framework, which is also based on the above logic relationship, establish the export-oriented economic development mode selection and characteristics-economic analysis; The implementation of the export-oriented economy guarantee-political, social perspective analysis; The export-oriented economy booster-international factors analysis of the research framework. And as their own economic conditions, political and social basis and changes in the external environment and lead to South Korea happened export-oriented economy change constantly, and bring the one-way export-oriented economy to overall open the export-oriented economic readjustment and upgrade.This research has the following innovations:1. It is relatively new to research South Korea outward-looking economy, and to explore the reasons for the success of South Korea's economy from the economic, political and social, international perspectives. This study in view of economics research foundation, the union politics, sociology and international relations and related theory, overcome the limitations of pure economics research, through the perspectives of South Korea in export-oriented economy to explore the formation, development and characteristics, and strive to reveal South Korea in the development of export-oriented economy "special", restore, South Korea export-oriented economic development of the real process.2. This paper takes export-oriented economic development as the main line, try to show the south Korean economy from colonial economy-foreign aid dependence economy-one-way export-oriented economy-open the development of export-oriented economy track more clearly, what's more, this research also try to reveal the "passive outgoing" to "active outgoing" South Korea in the development of export-oriented economy connection and South Korea "'export orientation" + "import substitution'" the essential characteristics of export-oriented economy, and summarizes the economic factors selection, political and social factors, the international factors that promote South Korea function mechanism of export-oriented economy.3. Another innovation of this study is, this paper analyzes the reasons for the success of South Korean outward-looking economy from the interests of the interest groups balanced view. The South Korean government easily control the interest groups in the South Korea interest demand through the high pressure control with "mutual benefit" is the combination of the regulation and control methods, and succeed in realized the interest group of interest between equilibrium. In this way,the South Korea government guarantee is dominated by the government, to economic growth as the core target the export-oriented economic model of the effective implementation, become Korea economic development of important success factors.There are also some shortages of this paper, which needs further study:1. The research of South Korea outward-looking economy still lack the more thorough theoretical analysis from the view of economics. For the "special" feathers showed in South Korea's outward-looking economic development process, and the policy choices against general economy principle and basic logic, and why can bring unexpected economic effect, still lack the more thorough and comprehensive theoretical analysis and explanation, which needs to be strengthened in the follow-up study2. One of the innovations of this study is research the outward-looking economy of South Korea from the interests balance aspects, however, there still exist some shortages in this aspect. The influence produced by the interest groups to economy develop is becoming more and more important. Especially for the developing countries, it appears that how to deal with the economic development process of different interest groups interest demand, interests balance, is particularly important. Many developing countries are confronted with economic and social development is not balanced, all kinds of social contradictions between the, "fairness and justice" realize, in a great extent and interest groups interests balance problems have close relationship.3. The study emphases on the research of the South Korea's traditional outward-looking economy, which has its necessity and rationality, what's more, this will help us understand the practical process of South Korea economic development better, and get more beneficial enlightenment. As a product of particular historical times, South Korea's outward-looking economy has changed a lot along the development of history, and has completed the transition and upgrade to full-opened outward-looking economy. It is necessary to make in-depth research of the full-opened outward-looking economy, especially the study of the economy development trend which is encircled by FTA, will be the centre of future study.
