The Sejong Society is pleased to host a talk by Marcus Noland, Senior Fellow with the Peterson Institute for International Economics.  Dr. Noland will speak on the events and policies that have contributed to a largely unplanned and unintended process of marketization of the North Korean economy.

Reckless policies, international provocations, bad weather, and global economic trends have once again brought the DPRK to the precipice of disaster, and the outcome will be conditioned on the country’s external relations.  Specific initiatives could emerge from the Six Party Talks, but not all forms of engagement are equally desirable.  Dr. Noland will highlight ways in which the nuclear and aid deals are linked and how greater external security could ultimately encourage greater reform.

This event is free of charge and refreshments will be served. Please RSVP here.
