North Korea and Economic Integration in East Asia
«
'The North Korean economy is changing, but from the nuclear and security standpoints the country remains a problem. In this important book, Rhee and Messerlin show how economic engagement can aid the economic transition and also help with the security challenge. American, European and Asian strategists alike would be well advised to pay close attention to the authors' proposals.' — Barry Eichengreen, George C. Pardee and Helen N. Pardee Professor of Economics and Political Science, University of California, Berkeley
'Managing economic reform and gradually opening the economy to foreign trade and investment is a key challenge confronting North Korean policymakers. This book presents a roadmap for doing so, drawing on the experience of other transition countries. It offers valuable, practical guidance on the design of an external economic policy reform strategy, making a compelling case that this should center on integration into the East Asian economy.' — Bernard Hoekman, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies, European University Institute
'I cannot agree more with Rhee’s view that the most imperative for North Korean people is economic development through economic opening. This important book discusses concrete and practical open-door strategies and policies that can lessen the political burden on the North Korean government – the participation in regional economic integration in East Asia.' — Professor Hong Tack CHUN, Dean, KDI School of Public Policy and Management, South Korea

Throughout North Korea's history, it has regarded external relations with suspicion and as a potential threat to its regime. With North Korea working towards denuclearization, there is now hope for an economic opening. This book examines the external economic strategies that North Korea may consider for its reforms and development, which are related to the East Asian economic integration process.
This book emphasizes that considering theoretical factors as well as conditions of the North Korean economy, economic opening and integration should have high priority, anteceding or at least being parallel to economic reforms and transformation. Also, among various alternative strategies for achieving the goal of economic reform and development based on economic opening, the utilization of East Asian regional economic integration framework would be the best option for North Korea, because this framework can provide an opportunity for North Korea to overcome structural problems in its external economic relations and to circumvent political conflicts, thus leading to a smoother rapprochement towards economic opening.
This book is timely as it shows how a new economic recovery strategy on the Korean Peninsula may be accomplished.
