About this event

Greetings from the International Cooperation Division of KDI School. It is a pleasure to inform you that the KDI School and the George Washington University's Institute for Korean Studies (GWIKS) will host an online conference on "The North Korea Economic Forum (NKEF)".

 

As an isolated socialist country, North Korea has had to face a constant challenge of justifying its own vision of economic self-reliance and the dynamics of marketization. The North Korean people’s greater access to foreign media and domestic market information has required different versions of legitimization of mass mobilization. Drawing from a variety of academic disciplines and subject-matter specializations, this year’s North Korea Economic Forum Conference will examine the role that ideology has played in shaping and constraining economic policy and economic life in North Korea, both in the Kim Jong Un era and historically.

 

If you have a question for the speakers, please submit it when you complete the guest registration. (RSVP Now!)
