In April 2012, the EAI’s Center for North Korea Studies launched a study team consisting of both conservative and progressive scholars to develop a strategy on inter-Korean economic cooperation. Their research outcome will seek to provide policy recommendations for the next Presidential administration due to be inaugurated in early 2013. The final report of this study was published on October 29 and the EAI invited politicians, policy makers, and scholars for this conference to evaluate the findings of the study and provide their thoughts and policy recommendations.
