The Economic Implications of Korean Reunification

Abstract

The Economic Implications of Korean Reunification is a detailed examination of the issues that may result from the creation of a single economy for the Republic of Korea (ROK) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). The eventual reunification of the Korean peninsula will offer many challenges for the two countries, as well as for every entity with interests in the region. Economic reunification of the ROK and the DPRK, one an open economy operating under a democratic government, the other a holdover from the heyday of communism, will be a significant challenge. This paper is a consolidation of the issues associated with that economic reunification and an examination of potential solutions. Additionally, it addresses possible participants and the roles that each might play in rebuilding the economy in the north.
