North Korean economyDownloadContentSummaryExpansion of Special Economic Zones in North Korea: Possibility and Direction
The term 'special economic zone' was employed when the People's Republic of China allowed the four southeastern coastal regions to take up a positive market economic system as part of its door opening policy. The third plenary session of the 11th Central Committee of the China Communist Party in December, 1978 made a shift from the ideology-first policy so far to the economic construction-first policy, thus deciding on 'door-opening and activation of domestic economy' as its important strategy. As part of the first stage, under the mottos of 'active utilization of foreign investment,' 'introduction of advanced technology,' and 'expansion of export,' the Chinese authorities designated parts of the four cities, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Shantou in Guangdong, and Xiamen in Fujian as special economic zones in July, 1979, and later in 1988, elevated Hainandao to the Hainan Province status, at the same time authorizing it as the fifth special economic zone.

Free tradeDownloadContentSummaryThis study explores how Korea-Japan Free Trade Agreement(FTA) would impact on FDI flows into Korea and draws policy implications regarding how the FTA should be designed so as to encourage increased FDI into Korea. FDI is the most crucial single element in the Korea-Japan FTA. There are concerns that such an FTA would lead to substantial weakening of capital goods and component parts sectors and trade deficit of Korea vis a vis Japan in these sectors. Therefore, the priority of Korean policy makers should be on promoting FDI from Japan and other countries to compensate for these potential negative effects of the FTA. (The rest is omitted.) -

Multilateral negotiationsDownloadContentSummaryThere have been many discussions and studies on agricultural issues at major international for a such as the OECD and WTO because the agricultural sector is part of the so-called built-in agenda and many countries want to develop their negotiation positions. Therefore, we can find some policy implications from an analysis of the position papers and discussions at those organizations. Although there are many important issues on the negotiation agenda, we focused on the most significant issues for Korea such as market access, domestic support, export subsidies, multifunctionality and GMOs.

Trade policyDownloadContentSummarySince the late 1980s, Korea's exports to Latin America have grown remarkably due to some favorable factors: first, gradual reduction of external tariffs in Latin American countries, which have abandoned their protective trade policies based on the traditional import substitution industrialization policy; second, stable economic growth derived from strong economic reform policies; third, expansion of market scale through the creation of sub-regional economic integration, including the formation of MERCOSUR. As a result, in Korea, the Latin America has been recognized as a leading and stable market with which Korea enjoys a trade surplus. This blind faith in the Latin American market has caused Korea to overlook some of the problems in its exports to the region which began to appear in the late 1990s. (The rest is omitted.)
