Policy Forum 03-13A: North Korea and the South Korean Economy

This essay is by Marcus Noland, Senior Fellow at the Institute for International Economics. Noland asserts the following three arguments: (1) engagement with the aim of transforming North Korea is a desirable policy from the standpoint of South Korea; (2) collapse and absorption along German lines would not be catastrophic for South Korea; and (3) regardless of South Korea’s stance toward the North, it remains economically vulnerable to the vagaries of North Korean behavior. This paper is to be presented to the Roh Government Transition Team in Seoul, Korea on February 24, 2003.

Policy Forum 03-12A: Can Japan Go Nuclear In Months?

The essay below is by Phar Kim Beng. Beng asserts that living next to North Korea, a threatening neighbor that has the means and intent to go nuclear, Japan has every reason to follow suit. However, there is a whole gamut of issues, political, strategtic, psychological, and even technical, that Japan has to overcome before it can adopt a nuclear deterrent. Consequently, Japan cannot be a nuclear power in the foreseeable future. Beng is a Malaysian and former Asian Public Intellectual fellow attached to the United Nations University.
