Wonhyuk Lim, a CNAPS Visiting Fellow at the Brookings Institution, a Fellow at the Korea Development Institute (KDI), and Korea National Strategy Institute (KNSI), writes, “After a decade of economic crisis, only the infusion of external capital would provide a substantive solution to the capital-labor coordination problem and put economic growth on a more stable trajectory… After his Southern Tour, Kim Jong Il should have a much better idea about how to develop an economic model suited to North Korea’s specific conditions.”
Policy Forum 06-11A: The East Timor Truth Commission Report Shines
Gerry van Klinken, Australian historian and editor of Inside Indonesia, writes “The denial of East Timor’s right to self-determination – always acknowledged by the UN – was an international project, and it’s only fair the world should make amends. This is the ‘to do’ list: contribute the relevant archives to East Timor, cough up (from the profits of arms sales!) for victim compensation, table the CAVR report publicly (this one aimed at Indonesian school textbooks), and help prosecute all those responsible.”

China and North Korea: Comrades Forever?
The International Crisis Group, an independent, non-profit, multinational organization, that works through field-based analysis and high-level advocacy to prevent and resolve deadly conflict, write “Although it cannot deliver a rapid end to Pyongyang’s weapons program, China must still be an integral component of any strategy with a chance of reducing the threat of a nuclear North Korea?Over the long-term, Chinese economic interaction with the North may be the best hope for sparking deeper systemic reform and liberalisation there.”
