Policy Forum 06-28A: South Korea-U.S. Alliance Under the Roh Government

Selig S. Harrision, who has visited North Korea nine times, most recently in April, and is the author of “Korean Endgame”, writes “during his remaining two years in office, President Roh could seek to make the alliance more compatible with his North Korea policies in three ways. First, he could pursue mutual North-South force reductions in bilateral discussions with Pyongyang, resisting pressures from the Pentagon and his own military-industrial complex. Second, he could press for the more ‘open and equal’ alliance discussed by Ruediger Frank in the January Korea Policy Review. Finally, he could step up efforts to promote a trilateral peace treaty ending the Korean War.”

Pyongyang’s ‘Unification’ Market of Today

The Institute for Far Eastern Studies writes, “following DPRK leader Kim Jong Il’s instruction in March 2003, which allowed for the transformation of farmers’ markets into consolidated markets, the Unification Market opened as the largest market in Pyongyang on September 1st of the same year. With 1,500 booths spanning over 6000 sq. meters, the market is divided into three zones — agriculture produce and fish products, food and clothing, and metal utensils and appliances — with each zone housing a management office, money changer, and a food court, which offer a variety of conveniences to the customer.”
