TIME ORGANIZATION SESSION ROOM
17:20 ~ 18:40
[6-A] Whither North Korea under Kim Jong-un?|김정은의 북한, 어디로 가는가?
 Room A
[East Asia Foundation]

After the controversial execution of Jang Song Thaek last December, Kim Jong Un appears to have entered a stable phase of his third year as the leader of North Korea. However, his socalled ‘Byungjin policy (simultaneous advancement policy)’ has raised many questions as to the nature and extent of economic development as well as its impact on Pyongyang’s foreign relations. Can North Korea develop its economy by introduction of foreign capital, while developing nuclear weapons? Who are new power elites in Pyongyang and what is their vision of the future of North Korea? Experts from home and abroad will discuss these and other related questions in the session.

작년 12월 많은 논란을 불러일으켰던 장성택의 처형 이후 집권 3년째를 맞이한 김정은 정권은 겉으로는 비교적 안정적인 궤도에 진입한 것으로 보여집니다. 그럼에도 불구하고 김정은이 추진하고 있는 소위 ‘병진정책’은 북한 내 경제개발의 성격과 정도 및 대외 관계에 미칠 영향에 대한 심각한 의문점들을 제기합니다. 북한은 과연 핵무기 개발과 외자도입을 통한 경제 개발을 동시에 추진할 수 있는지, 평양의 새로운 파워 엘리트 집단은 누구이며, 그들이 생각하는 남북관계와 북한의 미래는 무엇인지 등, 국내외 북한 전문가들의 토론을 통해 알아봅니다.
