Policy Forum 07-066: The Second South-North Summit: Prospects for Intensifying Inter-Korean Cooperation

Lim Eul-chul, Research Professor at Kyungnam University, writes “no one should be blindly optimistic about the upcoming summit, but if any agreements develop as a result of the meeting, it would mean qualitative development of inter-Korean relations. It would also mean the prospect of huge opportunities in the future for entrepreneurs trying to find a way into North Korean markets, as business with North Korea is already progressing by leaps and bounds.”

Policy Forum 07-070: Disaster Management and Institutional Change in the DPRK: Trends in the Songun Era

Alexandre Y. Mansourov, Professor of Security Studies at the Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies and a specialist in Northeast Asian security, politics, and economics, focusing primarily on the Korean Peninsula, writes, “North Korea is an evolved system (not a designed system). Its disaster management mechanisms are a good example of a typical crisis-driven institutional evolution. As such, this system is dynamically stable… It can undergo sudden state changes but then display robust recovery from catastrophic events, as one has been able to witness during the past two decades. The question remains open: Is there a tipping point for such a complex, dynamically stable system like North Korea’s?”
