The Role of Ideology in Korean Shipping in the Embryo Period

This paper presents that in the conditions of extreme backwardness in the Korean shipping industry the ideology, which resulted from anti-Japanese nationalism and Confucianism, played a major role in overcoming the constraints to shipping development through driving the energies and imaginations of seamen labour during two decades after liberation from Japan in 1945. In other words, in the context of the Gerschenkron model, the ideology fulfilled its function for the Korean shipping growth. In the process of shipping growth, the above ideology produced the outcomes of two patterns, i.e. supply of seamen labour and entrepreneurs and successful management of a vested shipping company.
