Ronald Dore's 1977 article in Pacific Affairs, "South Korean Development in Wider Perspective," is a rare example of the scholar known for his writings on Japan applying his analytical lens on South Korea. What were some of this article's most notable areas of foresight and elision related to development studies? This essay answers this question by interpreting connections to publications before and after 1977 to analyze areas of insight under the rubric of "discernment" and overlooked subjects under "death." On one hand, Dore's essay was ahead of the curve in its deft foreshadowing of post-developmentalist, varieties of capitalism, and developmental state approaches to economic development. On the other, Dore sidestepped the effects of death on economic development in three forms: literal— effects of changing mortality rates on investments in education and human capital; industries related to death—wars, munitions production and arms expenditures; and the aftereffects of the death of a scholar—the revisiting and renewal of debates that can sometimes emerge as a result.

发展、辨别与死亡：韩国经济的多尔

罗纳德·多尔 1977 年在太平洋事务上发表的文章“更广泛的视角下的韩国发展”是这位以日本著作而闻名的学者将他的分析视角应用于韩国的罕见例子。本文中与发展研究相关的最引人注目的预见和省略领域有哪些？本文通过解释与 1977 年前后的出版物的联系来回答这个问题，以分析“辨别”标题下的洞察领域和“死亡”下被忽视的主题。一方面，多尔的文章在其对后发展主义、资本主义的多样性和发展型国家经济发展方法的巧妙预示方面走在了前列。另一方面，多尔以三种形式回避了死亡对经济发展的影响：字面意思——死亡率变化对教育和人力资本投资的影响；与死亡有关的产业——战争、军需品生产和武器开支；以及学者去世的后果——有时会因此而出现的辩论的重新审视和更新。
