Daily Report Archives

Established in December 1993, the Nautilus Institute’s *N*ortheast *A*sia *P*eace and *S*ecurity *N*etwork (NAPSNet) Daily Report served thousands of readers  in more than forty countries, including policy makers, diplomats, aid organizations, scholars, donors, activists, students, and journalists.

The NAPSNet Daily Report aimed to serve a community of practitioners engaged in solving the complex security and sustainability issues in the region, especially those posed by the DPRK’s nuclear weapons program and the threat of nuclear war in the region.  It was distributed by email rom 1993-1997, and went on-line in December 1997, which is when the archive on this site begins. The format at that time can be seen here.

However, for multiple reasons—the rise of instantaneous news services, the evolution of the North Korea and nuclear issues, the increasing demand for specialized and synthetic analysis of these and related issues, and the decline in donor support for NAPSNet—the Institute stopped producing the Daily Report news summary service as of December 17, 2010.

Policy Forum 07-003: DPRK Pursuing Factory Modernization Through Foreign Joint Ventures, Cooperatives

This report, published by the Institute for Far Eastern Studies at Kyungnam University, notes, “North Korean authorities are emphasizing the modernization of factories and enterprises throughout the country since 2000. They are faced, however, with shortages of the necessary capital, materials, and equipment, not one of which is easily resolved. Because of this, North Korea has pulled out all the stops with a policy of pursuing the formation of foreign joint-ventures and cooperatives.”

Policy Forum 07-002: The Korea-U.S. FTA: Prospects And Implications For The Bilateral Strategic Relationship

Joseph A.B. Winder, President of Winder International, writes, “A failure of the KORUS FTA negotiations would represent a serious setback to the overall U.S. relationship. If agreement cannot be reached in an area, which is so clearly win-win for both sides, then how are the two countries to deal with the difficult political/security issues where a mutually satisfactory resolution of many issues is less clearcut?”
