KDI Review of the North Korean Economy for December introduces three articles contributed by professor Wooseon Choi at KNDA, senior research fellow Soo Ho Lim at INSS and professor Ji-youn Park at Chonbuk National University.

In “Prospect of North Korea’s Denuclearization and South Korea's Policy,” Choi analyzed the causes behind the long stalemate in nuclear negotiations and then came up with a host of new policies expected from North Korea and the US, along with realistic negotiation scenarios. Based on these, author discussed on policy directions for Korea to pursue.

Lim's “Mid- to Long-term Effects of Sanctions against North Korea” inferred what would happen to the North Korean economy as a result of the sanctions on coal and iron ore exports which account for the largest share of the nation’s exports.

Lastly, Park’s “Implementation of UN's Sustainable Development Goals and International Development Cooperation” contemplated the link between the global community’s recent development cooperation in North Korea and the UN's implementation of the SDGs and features her insight into the future direction of the link.
