INTEGRATION OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA:
TRANSITION
STRATEGIES AND
VISIONS FOR THE COMMON PROSPERITY IN NORTH-EAST
ASIA |
|
| [1] PURPOSES |
|
A.
|
As a sequel to the 2010
Conference that successfully posited the issue of the Korean integration as an
imminent subject for public discussion within and outside Korea, this conference
is designed to address poignant questions of "Transition Strategies", and "the
Visions for the Common Prosperity in North-East Asia". |
|
B.
|
Against the backdrop of
the proposed "Overall Scenario and Roadmap for the Integration", the event will
look into diverse dimensions of integration, with focus on the outcome, such as
"Phases and Strategies of Economic Integration", "Modalities of Institutional,
Legal, and Political Integration", and possible "Modes of Transitional and
Permanent Security Regime". Participants with background in both solid theory
and seasoned policy practice in transition are expected to exhibit extraordinary
expertise with pertinent perspectives, and frameworks of problem-solving
techniques. |
|
C.
|
Extending the scope of
the 2010 conference, this gathering is designed to take place by the collective
works of major think-tanks of the stake-holding states on the issue of Korean
integration, i.e., Hansun Foundation (Korea), Chosun Ilbo (Korea), and CIPPS
(Japan). |
|
|
Since such regional and
collective initiatives have long been awaited by the whole North-East Asian
community, holding the conference itself will serve immensely in conveying the
important message that the issue of Korean Integration is being treated with
proper regional care, and that the vision for common prosperity is shared by the
members of the entire North-East Asian community. |

| [2] ATTRIBUTES OF EACH SESSION |
|
| I. APRIL
7th |
|
| SESSION 1 |
|
| In this
session, it will be shown that the process of Korean integration is predictable,
manageable, and stays within the competence of our positive imagination. Both
Korean and regional experts will open the dialogue presenting the "Overall
Scenario and Roadmap for the Integration", which will be followed by more
issue-specific discussions on "Phases and Strategies of Economic Integration",
"Modalities of Institutional, Legal, and Political Integration", and possible
"Modes of Transitional and Permanent Security Regime". Expertise in the
transition studies will be combined by, and contrasted to the wisdom acquired
from policy implementations based upon regional and country-specific
analyses. |
|
| SESSION 2 |
|
| Session 2 is
supposed to delve into the visions for the common prosperity in North-East Asia
in the post-Korean integration environment, which can, and should be nurtured
collectively in the minds of the people in the North-East Asian community. The
extended scope of the North-East Asia linking the integrated Korean peninsula
with the Northern part of China, for example, will be explored from the
perspectives of economic prosperity, and stabilized regional security in the
region. One of the main objectives of the session is to clarify a group-vision
on how the integration of the Korean peninsula can effectively lead to the
ensuring of the unprecedented regime of peace and security in the North-East
Asia. |
|
| It is expected
that experts from diverse stake-holding states would present the features of the
collective visions in view of the possible uniqueness of country-focused
perspectives. Based upon the diverse perspectives, participants will also
endeavor to shed light on the actual modalities and strategies for the
envisioned regional prosperity. |
|
| SESSION 3 |
|
| This session
specifically deals with the possible roles of each stake-holding state, and
those of decision makers, policy thinkers, and the civil society. What could be
the components of actual strategies, and policy tools available to the concerned
players? What would be the modes of commitment and agreement, if necessary,
among stake holders? In conclusion, what should be the main features of the
suggestions and recommendations for the Korean society when seen from the sides
of both regional and international community? |
