Despite the ties between politics and economics, little attention has been given to how economic development affects foreign policy. To fill the gap in the literature, Heo and Roehrig11 Uk Heo and Terence Roehrig, South Korea's Rise: Economic Development, Power, and Foreign Relations (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2014).
developed a theoretical framework, linking economic development and foreign relations. We refine the theory and name it development power theory, which is based on the logic that economic development influences a country's foreign policy in three broad directions: (i) it encourages a transition to democracy that leads to elite changes and foreign‐policy modification; (ii) it provides more resources and a larger set of tools to be used to pursue a broader set of national interests; and (iii) it enhances pride and ambition among state leaders and the public, resulting in a stronger military and a greater role in international affairs. Then, we apply the theory to the South Korean case.

发展力量理论：韩国案例

尽管政治和经济学之间存在联系，但很少有人关注经济发展如何影响外交政策。为了填补文学空白，Heo和Roehrig11 Uk Heo和Terence Roehrig，韩国的崛起：经济发展，权力和对外关系（剑桥：剑桥大学出版社，2014年）。
建立了将经济发展与对外关系联系起来的理论框架。我们完善该理论并将其命名为发展力量理论，该理论基于经济发展在三个大方向上影响一国外交政策的逻辑：（i）鼓励向民主的过渡，从而导致精英变革和外交政策修改；（ii）它提供了更多的资源和更多的工具来追求更广泛的国家利益；（iii）增强国家领导人和公众的自豪感和野心，从而增强军事实力并在国际事务中发挥更大作用。然后，我们将该理论应用于韩国案例。
