Targeted industrial and sectoral subsidies (renewable energy, chip manufacturing, agriculture, green hydrogen, etc).
Trade policy openness — tariffs, non-tariff barriers, FTAs, industrial protection.
Sector-specific licensing regimes, concentration / quota allocation, state-controlled entry (energy, telecoms, healthcare, banking).
Presidential directive under Park Chung-hee targeting six strategic sectors: steel, petrochemicals, shipbuilding, machinery, electronics, and non-ferrous metals. Implemented via selective credit allocation (state-directed preferential loans at subsidised rates), targeted protection, technology-licensing promotion, and Korea Development Bank mobilisation. Despite heterodox methods, outcomes included successful emergence of POSCO (steel), Hyundai Heavy (shipbuilding), Samsung and LG (electronics). Short-term imbalances (inflation, current-account deficits) produced 1979-80 stabilisation crisis, partially reversed under Chun Doo-hwan. Canonical developmentalist reference case — Amsden (1989) + Chang (2002) analyses. The framework treats HCI as strategic-credit-allocation + selective protection, distinguishing from price controls.
Per invariant 3, reforms are scored by what they did on each channel-separated axis, not by the party that enacted them. This fingerprint is how the policy-match engine finds historical analogues.
Explicit links are curated by the author. Inferred links are hypotheses in the library that test the same axes this policy moved — the framework's answer to "what does the data say about a policy like this?".
Ranked by axis-fingerprint overlap with this policy. Direction match bolded — those are the closest historical analogues. Shape of the match is what drives policy-outcome comparison, not the country or party label.
